Amphibian populations are increasingly threatened by emerging pathogens, yet robust evidence linking disease outbreaks with population-level impacts remains scarce in the Neotropics. We investigated a mortality event affecting endemic treefrogs in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest by integrating field observations, molecular characterisation, histopathology, and long-term monitoring. Ranavirosis infection was the confirmed primary...

Aim Carex section Echinochlaenae has a disjunct distribution across the Southern Hemisphere. It displays a clear center of diversity in New Zealand coupled with extreme morphological and ecological diversification, suggesting a potential evolutionary radiation. We aimed to reconstruct the biogeographic history of the group and evaluate bioclimatic niche evolution during colonization and diversification events. Location Souther...

Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...

Quantifying animal movements is necessary for answering a wide array of research questions in ecology and conservation biology. Consequently, ecologists have made considerable efforts to identify the best way to estimate an animal's home range, and many methods of estimating home ranges have arisen over the past half a century. Most of these methods fall into two distinct categories of estimators that have only recently been d...

Between 1989 and 2007, 28 Distinct Population Segments (DPS) of Pacific salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) spawning in rivers in California and the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington, Idaho) were listed (protected) under the US Endangered Species Act (ESA). In the roughly 25 years since then, considerable efforts have been made to recover these populations, but no DPS has increased sufficiently to be delisted. We evaluated abundan...

Motivation Geographic occurrences are essential for biodiversity studies, but publicly available repositories like GBIF often contain errors and biases, especially for taxonomically complex groups like Carex L. (Cyperaceae). This work provides an expert‐curated global dataset of occurrences compiled from different sources to enhance data accuracy and usability. The final dataset includes 384,067 occurrences of 1790 Carex speci...

The need for ecosystem‐based fisheries management (EBFM) is growing more urgent as environmental changes, species shifts, new ocean uses, and other factors force oceans toward novel states. In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Marine Fisheries Service (NOAA Fisheries) developed an EBFM Policy in 2016, accompanied by a Road Map of 49 action items, to support marine ecosystem‐based...

In the last 2 decades, UK research institutes have led a wide range of developments in marine data assimilation (MDA), covering areas from operational applications in physics and biogeochemistry to fundamental theory. We highlight the emergence of strong collaboration in the UK MDA community over this period and the increasing unification of its tools. We focus on identifying the MDA stakeholder community and current/future ar...

Coral reefs are global biodiversity hotspots, important for ocean health and providing ecosystem services for thousands of species (including humans). Coral benthic communities form the structural basis of these ecosystems, influencing ecological processes and ecosystem functions. For thousands of years, coral benthic communities have been driven by naturally occurring properties of the environment, which we refer to as biophy...
