The global wildland–urban interface

A global assessment shows that the wildland–urban interface occurs on all continents, showing its broad-scale patterns and providing a basis for future research on dynamics and socioeconomic and biophysical processes.

Biodiversity consequences of cropland abandonment

Despite net cropland expansion in recent decades, substantial areas of cropland have been abandoned for a variety of socioeconomic reasons. This study evaluates the effects of such cropland abandonment on bird and mammal species across four continents.

Combined speeds of climate and land-use change of the conterminous US until 2050

Biologically relevant metrics of global change are needed for risk assessment, to assess species exposure, and for adaptation planning. This paper presents a new measure of global change velocity that incorporates both climate and land-use change, and explores the implications of the observed velocities for conservation planning in the US.

Self-perpetuating ecological–evolutionary dynamics in an agricultural host–parasite system

Combining a large-scale manipulative field experiment with long-term genetic assays and modelling, the authors document evidence of ecological–evolutionary feedbacks between aphids and parasitoids through resistance conferred by heritable bacterial symbionts.

Climate change causes functionally colder winters for snow cover-dependent organisms

The subnivium—the space between snowpack and the ground—is an insulating refuge from winter cold. This study predicts that climate warming decreases the subnivium’s seasonal duration yet increases snow-free days with frozen ground, making winter functionally colder for subnivium-dependent life.

Species diversity as a surrogate for conservation of phylogenetic and functional diversity in terrestrial vertebrates across the Americas

A compilation of distribution, phylogenetic, trait and risk data for more than 10,000 species of terrestrial vertebrates finds that conservation plans that target species diversity are typically also representative of phylogenetic and functional diversity.
