From lagging to leading: Increased phenological asynchrony in a Batesian mimicry complexNARA Subscribed
Climate change can alter species interactions by shifting phenology and species distributions. Batesian mimicry is one such interaction in which mimic protection is often assumed to depend on temporal and spatial overlap with defended models, although recent studies suggest strict synchrony may not always be required. To examine long‐term mimic–model phenological dynamics, we compiled flight season data for bumblebee models an...
African voices and their role in improving north–south collaborations for biodiversity conservationNARA Subscribed
While the dominance of policies from the Global North has shaped conservation practices, holistic decision‐making is urgently needed to incorporate more local voices, especially in Africa. Effective conservation strategies may be enhanced by incorporating the expertise and resources of the Global North alongside the knowledge, lived experiences, insights, and leadership of local communities, scientists, and civil society group...
Unearthing the soil‐borne microbiome of land plantsNARA Subscribed
Plant–soil biodiversity interactions are fundamental for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. Yet, the existence of a set of globally distributed topsoil microbial and small invertebrate organisms consistently associated with land plants (i.e., their consistent soil‐borne microbiome), together with the environmental preferences and functional capabilities of these organisms, remains unknown. We conducted a standardized f...
Like low-lying sandy coasts around the world, the Ghanaian coast is experiencing increasingly frequent coastal flooding due to climate change, putting important socioeconomic infrastructure and people at risk. Our study assesses the major factors contributing to extreme coastal water levels (ECWLs) from 1994 to 2015. ECWLs are categorized into low, moderate, and severe levels corresponding to the 30th, 60th, and 98th percentil...
