Mass mortality events (MMEs) are rapidly occurring catastrophic demographic events that
punctuate background mortality levels. Individual MMEs are staggering in their observed …

Climate change and land use change often interact, altering biodiversity in unexpected
ways. Research into climate change–land use change (CC–LUC) interactions has so far …

Extreme weather events (EWEs; for example, heatwaves, cold spells, storms, floods and
droughts) and non-native species invasions are two major threats to global biodiversity and …

A mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a
wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea) in …

Climate-change-driven alterations in the extent and intensity of extreme weather events may
have catastrophic consequences for primate populations. Using a trait-based approach, we …

This is a book about how ecologists can integrate remote sensing and GIS in their daily
work. It will allow ecologists to get started with the application of remote sensing and to …

Human-mediated translocation of species to areas beyond their natural distribution (which
results in 'alien'populations) is a key signature of the Anthropocene, and is a primary global …

Despite their high vulnerability, insular ecosystems have been largely ignored in climate
change assessments, and when they are investigated, studies tend to focus on exposure to …

Aim Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to drive unprecedented increases in the
frequency and intensity of extreme climatic events, such as drought and cyclones. The …

In the context of predicted alteration of sea ice cover and increased frequency of extreme
events, it is especially timely to investigate plasticity within Antarctic species responding to a …
