The joint effects of chemical pollution and climate change on soil food webs remain underexplored. This Progress discusses the impacts of these stressors on soil food web structure along with a potential framework to mitigate the adverse effects on soil functions.
Plastic waste in the environment can modify habitats and change the mating, feeding and dispersal behaviours of organisms. This Progress discusses the emerging understanding of the ecological and evolutionary consequences of these effects of plastic pollution.
This Progress discusses potential applications of artificial intelligence models that generate new data and how they can be used to advance ecology research.
Ten years after the discovery of Homo naledi, the authors explore the various anatomical and behavioural evidence accumulated for this intriguing species.
The Red List of Ecosystems is a headline indicator in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. This Progress illustrates how the Red List of Ecosystems can be used by Parties to the Framework to contribute to its implementation and monitoring.
The authors review methodological developments arising from the geosciences that are becoming increasingly key to interpreting the human evolutionary record.
