Amphibians have undergone important evolutionary transitions in reproductive modes and
life-cycles. We compare large-scale macroevolutionary patterns in these transitions across …

Increasing urbanization degrades quantity, quality, and the functionality of spatial cohesion
of natural areas essential to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide. The …

Success stories are rare in conservation science, hindered also by the research-
implementation gap, where scientific insights rarely inform practice and practical …

Observations on the ontogeny and diversity of salamanders provided some of the earliest
evidence that shifts in developmental trajectories have made a substantial contribution to the …

Human actions are altering ecosystems worldwide. Among human‐released pollutants,
ionizing radiation arises as a rare but potentially devastating threat to natural systems. The …

Predicting the spread of populations across fragmented habitats is vital if we are to manage
their persistence in the long term. We applied network theory with a model and an …

The accelerated urbanization process has caused problems such as habitat loss, isolation,
and habitat quality decline, resulting in a sharp reduction in the richness and abundance of …

Invasions often accelerate through time, as dispersal-enhancing traits accumulate at the
expanding range edge. How does the dispersal behaviour of individual organisms shift to …

Many graph-based studies consider just one habitat type (breeding habitat) and one
ecological process (dispersal) when measuring connectivity. However, in the course of their …

Scientists still poorly understand how biotic interactions and dispersal limitation jointly
interact and affect the ability of species to track suitable habitats under climate change. Here …
