How does geographical scale affect the effectiveness of public health heat-wave prevention plans?: the case of SpainNARA Subscribed
The summer of 2025 has been the hottest in Spain since records began, 2022registering temperatures one tenth of a degree Celsius higher than the hottest on record to date, i.e., the summer of 2022. However, mortality attributable to heat wave temperatures in 2025 was 908 deaths fewer than in 2022. Of the many factors that may have influenced the reduction in attributable mortality in 2025 with respect to 2022, this study sough...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Habitat Use and Foraging Ecology of Three Sea Turtle Species Nesting in Northwest Costa RicaNARA Subscribed
Sea turtle species, even when sharing nesting beaches, exhibit distinct at‐sea movements and foraging behavior. At Playa Cabuyal, a sea turtle nesting beach in northwest Costa Rica, we utilized satellite telemetry to reveal the post‐nesting movement of green turtles ( Chelonia mydas , n = 9) alongside carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of skin samples of green ( n = 28), olive ridley ( Lepidochelys olivacea , n = 20),...
The Productivity Gradient Explains Global Bird Specialisation Better Than Climate StabilityNARA Subscribed
Aim Historical and contemporary environmental factors are hypothesised to influence the degree of ecological specialisation of species. Long‐term climate stability might facilitate specialisation by promoting stable environments and diversification (climate stability hypothesis). In contrast, current stress–productivity gradients could also moderate specialisation through: (i) environmental filtering in stressful (e.g., arid)...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
