摘要

The field site network (FSN) plays a central role in conducting joint research within all Assessing Large-scale Risks for biodiversity with tested Methods (ALARM) modules and provides a mechanism for integrating research on different topics in ALARM on the same site for measuring multiple impacts on biodiversity. The network covers most European climates and biogeographic regions, from Mediterranean through central European and boreal to subarctic. The project links databases with the European-wide field site network FSN, including geographic information system (GIS)-based information to characterise the test location for ALARM researchers for joint on-site research. Maps are provided in a standardised way and merged with other site-specific information. The application of GIS for these field sites and the information management promotes the use of the FSN for research and to disseminate the results. We conclude that ALARM FSN sites together with other research sites in Europe jointly could be used as a future backbone for research proposals.

Multiple anthropogenic pressures eliminate the effects of soil microbial diversity on ecosystem functions in experimental microcosms

Gaowen Yang, Masahiro Ryo, Julien Roy, Daniel R. Lammel, Max-Bernhard Ballhausen, Xin Jing, Xuefeng Zhu, Matthias C. Rillig

Summary: This study finds that the positive effects of soil microbial diversity on soil functions can be negated by multiple simultaneous global change factors. This is due to the reduction of soil fungal abundance and the relative abundance of coexisting soil bacterial and fungal taxa.

Summary: Global assessments have shown that 40.7% of amphibians, 25.4% of mammals, and 13.6% of birds are threatened with extinction, but reptiles have been excluded from these assessments. This study provides a comprehensive extinction-risk assessment for reptiles and finds that at least 21.1% of species are threatened, with similar major threats as other tetrapods. Reptiles in forests are more threatened than those in arid habitats. Threatened reptiles tend to be isolated from other threatened tetrapods.

Detection of Ecological Thresholds and Selection of Indicator Taxa for Epibenthic Communities Exposed to Multiple Pressures

Laurie Isabel, David Beauchesne, Chris McKindsey, Philippe Archambault

Summary: This study focused on analyzing the spatial distribution of epibenthic communities in the estuary and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and found that oxygen concentration is a key predictor affecting the composition and distribution of these communities. Lower oxygen levels resulted in opportunistic taxa dominating the community, with sensitive taxa only increasing in biomass when oxygen levels reached a certain threshold. The study also identified specific indicator species that can detect the impact threshold on epibenthic communities exposed to multiple pressures in the marine ecosystem.

Wilderness areas under threat from global redistribution of agriculture

Alexandra S. Gardner, Brittany T. Trew, Ilya M. D. Maclean, Manmohan D. Sharma, Kevin J. Gaston

Summary: Agricultural expansion is the main cause of terrestrial biodiversity loss. However, to meet the demands of growing human populations, production is expected to double by 2050. This poses a challenge as it may further harm the environment and biodiversity, compounded by climate change. A potential consequence of this is the overlap between agricultural suitability and wilderness areas, which has not been studied before.

Speciation across the Earth driven by global cooling in terrestrial orchids

Jamie B. Thompson, Katie E. Davis, Harry O. Dodd, Matthew A. Wills, Nicholas K. Priest

Summary: Although climate change affects diversification, its effects are inconsistent and less widespread than localized climate or species accumulation. This study focuses on highly speciose orchid subfamily and reveals that historic global cooling, not time or other climate factors, drives speciation in terrestrial orchids. With extensive data and analysis, the study demonstrates that global cooling played a significant role in contemporaneous diversification in all major orchid bioregions. This research provides valuable insights into the long-term impacts of global climate change on biodiversity.

A Global Assessment of Climate Change Adaptation in Marine Protected Area Management Plans

Sacha M. O'Regan, Stephanie K. Archer, Sarah K. Friesen, Karen L. Hunter

Summary: The effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) is increasingly challenged by climate change. While experts have identified clear climate change adaptation principles for MPA management, the adoption of these principles remains largely unquantified. A study analyzing 647 English-language MPA management plans found that climate change is inadequately considered in most plans, with the United States showing better performance in this aspect compared to Canada. Climate change robustness scores have generally improved over time in Oceania, the United Kingdom, and the United States, but have declined in Canada.

What's going to be on the menu with global environmental changes?

Jane Hallam, Nyeema C. Harris

Summary: Ongoing anthropogenic change is impacting biodiversity and ecosystem functioning by altering the planet at an unprecedented rate. This change is causing shifts in the diet of species, affecting trophic interactions and food web dynamics. Researchers have a variety of tools to study these changes and argue that diet data is crucial for ecological studies on global change. A holistic approach that considers diet choice, trophic interactions, and environmental drivers may help predict biodiversity trends and identify early warning signs of diversity loss.

Summary: While wild pollinators are crucial for global food production, they are currently not included in the commonly used environmental impact assessment method, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), due to data limitations and compatibility issues. To address this gap, a Delphi assessment was conducted to obtain relative pollinator abundance estimates from 25 experts covering 16 nationalities and 45 countries. Based on the estimates, globally generic characterization factors (CFs) were developed to assess the impact of land use on wild pollinator abundance in LCA studies.

Foraging distances, habitat preferences and seasonal colony performance of honeybees in Central European forest landscapes

Benjamin Rutschmann, Patrick L. Kohl, Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter

Summary: This study investigated honeybee foraging in a deciduous forest region in southern Germany by observing waggle dances. The foraging distances of bees were found to be related to forest cover, but varied depending on the season and food type. Although bees in forest-dominated landscapes had to fly further, forest cover did not significantly affect colony weight. Pollen foraging in forests was more difficult in late summer, while nectar/honeydew foraging in forests aligned with expectations in early summer.

Plant invasion causes alterations in Darwin's finch feeding patterns in Galapagos cloud forests

Rebecca Hood-Nowotny, Ingrid Rabitsch, Arno Cimadom, Marcela Suarez-Rubio, Andrea Watzinger, Paul Schmidt Yanez, Christian H. Schulze, Sophie Zechmeister-Boltenstern, Heinke Jaeger, Sabine Tebbich

Summary: Invasive species, especially the blackberry plant, pose a significant threat to forest biodiversity, particularly on islands like the Galapagos. This study examines the impact of blackberry invasion on the decline of the green warbler finch, a unique species found in the cloud forest. The study compares the dietary changes of the finches in managed and unmanaged areas, and the results indicate that blackberry encroachment leads to a decrease in food source quality and quantity, resulting in a decline in chick recruitment.

Physiologically vulnerable or resilient? Tropical birds, global warming, and redistributions

Otto Monge, Ivan Maggini, Christian H. Schulze, Stefan Dullinger, Leonida Fusani

Summary: Tropical species are often considered more vulnerable to climate change due to their assumed low physiological capacity to withstand temperature fluctuations. However, there is no consistent evidence of direct physiological sensitivity to warming in tropical birds. They possess the physiological capacities to cope with fluctuating temperatures and are prepared to withstand elevated levels of heat. Further research is needed to address unanswered questions and improve our understanding of how tropical birds respond to warming.

Long-term trends in abundances of non-native species across biomes, realms, and taxonomic groups in Europe

Phillip J. Haubrock, Francesca Pilotto, Ismael Soto, Ingolf Kuehn, Hugo Verreycken, Hanno Seebens, Ross N. Cuthbert, Peter Haase

Summary: Rates of biological invasion have increased over recent centuries and are expected to increase in the future. Trends in abundances within these contexts have lacked analysis due to a paucity of long-term data. Our study analysed 180 biological time series mainly from Long-Term Ecological Research sites in Europe and found that local abundance trends of non-native species are highly variable, with declines in marine and freshwater sites despite increasing reports of non-native species. Our results indicate that trends in biological invasions are context-dependent and require robust local data to understand long-term trends.

Spatio-temporal shifts in British wild bees in response to changing climate

Chris Wyver, Simon G. Potts, Mike Edwards, Rowan Edwards, Deepa Senapathi

Summary: Climate plays a significant role in species distribution and activity timing. With changing climate, many species are shifting their ranges and emergence phenology. This study examined the impact of climate on bee emergence dates and predicted future trends. The results suggest that wild bees in Great Britain are susceptible to climate changes and are likely to shift their ranges northward in the future. Species distribution models were used to predict suitable climate envelopes, showing an increase in suitable habitats for most species.
