Species Distribution Models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology to analyze historical and future patterns of marine species distributions. Given the growing impact of climate change, predicting potential shifts in species ranges has become a key challe...
Endemic and endangered bird species, such as Salvadori serin (C. xantholaema), are vulnerable to environmental and anthropogenic changes. Understanding the impact of climate change on ecological niches is essential for effective conservation. This st...
Generating appropriate ecological risk assessments to support the rapid growth of nanotechnology requires a comprehensive understanding of the potential effects of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs), both toxic and beneficial, and accurate predictions o...
While elephant poaching has received considerable attention, natural mortality can at times surpass human-induced deaths, especially under environmental stress. Understanding the ecological drivers of natural elephant mortality is therefore crucial f...
Marine phytoplankton are crucial to oceanic ecosystems, yet trends in their activity, monitored through chlorophyll a, remain uncertain due to observational limitations. We generated an ocean chlorophyll a dataset (2001 to 2023) across low to mid-lat...
The interplay between acidification and nitrification in estuarine systems could have profound effects on coastal biogeochemistry and ecosystem health. However, the lack of integrated field research risks oversimplifying their relationships in comple...
Human activities impact aquatic ecosystems by altering abiotic and biotic factors, which in turn affect habitat structure and biodiversity. Environmental flows, or the necessary water flow levels to sustain ecosystems, influence fish habitats, with f...
BACKGROUND: Lyme disease (LD) is a major public health concern in North America. The incidence of LD has increased in part due to the rapid expansion of Ixodes scapularis infected with Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bb), the causative agent of LD. ...
Understanding species-level abundance dynamics in complex microbial communities is key to managing microbial ecosystems, yet it remains a major challenge. In wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), the presence and abundance of process-critical bacteria...
Some ecosystems require regular disturbances to maintain their biological and structural diversity. However, shifts in climate and changes in land management practices have altered global fire regimes, making it challenging to determine the most effe...
