Identifying sites with high biodiversity value using filtered species records from a biodiversity information facility

Rémi Duflot, Anssi V. Vähätalo

Diversity and Distributions > 30 > 10 > n/a - n/a

Aim Efficient mitigation of the biodiversity crisis requires targeted conservation actions in locations with high species richness, the presence of endangered species and unique species communities. However, prioritising sites remains challenging because of sparse knowledge on biodiversity, limiting the possibility of communicating efficiently with local decision makers. We examine easy‐to‐replicate,...

The niche through time: Considering phenology and demographic stages in plant distribution models

Damaris Zurell, Niklaus E. Zimmermann, Philipp Brun

Journal of Ecology > 112 > 9 > 1926 - 1939

Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to infer species–environment relationships, predict spatial distributions and characterise species' environmental niches. While the importance of space and spatial scales is widely acknowledged in SDM applications, temporal components of the niche are rarely addressed. We discuss how phenology and demographic stages affect model inference in plant...

Free ride without raising a thumb: A citizen science project reveals the pattern of active ant hitchhiking on vehicles and its ecological implications

Feng‐Chuan Hsu, Gen‐Chang Hsu, Ching‐Chen Lee, Chung‐Chi Lin, more

Ecological Entomology > 49 > 5 > 739 - 743

Species hitchhiking on human transportation objects such as vehicles can facilitate long‐distance dispersal of organisms, allowing increased probabilities of successful biological invasions. In Taiwan, there have been observations of ants actively moving onto motor vehicles (defined as ‘ant hitchhiking’ hereafter), yet no study has explored this phenomenon. Here, we provide the first qualitative...

Measuring metrics: what diversity indicators are most appropriate for different forms of data bias?

Huijie Qiao, Michael C. Orr, Alice C. Hughes

Ecography > 2024 > 9 > n/a - n/a

Biodiversity metrics have become a ubiquitous component of conservation assessments across scales. However, whilst indices have become increasingly widely used, their ability to perform in the face of different biases has remained largely untested under realistic conditions. Citizen science data are increasingly available, but present new challenges and biases, thus understanding how to use them effectively...

Using citizen science data to assess the vulnerability of bottlenose dolphins to human impacts along England's South Coast

S. Corr, R. Dudley, T. Brereton, N. Clear, more

Animal Conservation > 27 > 4 > 461 - 477

Coastal bottlenose dolphin populations are highly vulnerable due to their small population sizes and proximity to human activities. Long‐term studies in the UK have monitored populations protected within Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) since the 1990s, but a small community of bottlenose dolphins inhabiting the coastal waters of southern England has received much less attention. The English Channel...

Clarity tubes as effective citizen science tools for monitoring wastewater treatment works and rivers

Philip Mark Graham, Nicholas B. Pattinson, Ayanda Tsepo Lepheana, Robert James (Jim) Taylor

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management > 20 > 5 > 1463 - 1472

Improved freshwater resource management requires the implementation of widespread, effective, and timely water quality monitoring. Conventional monitoring methods are often inhibited by financial, infrastructural, and human capacity limitations, especially in developing regions. This study aimed to validate the citizen‐scientist‐operated transparency or clarity tube (hereafter “clarity tube”) for...

Local climate change velocities and evolutionary history explain multidirectional range shifts in a North American butterfly assemblage

Carmen R. B. Silva, Sarah E. Diamond

Journal of Animal Ecology > 93 > 8 > 1160 - 1171

Species are often expected to shift their distributions either poleward or upslope to evade warming climates and colonise new suitable climatic niches. However, from 18‐years of fixed transect monitoring data on 88 species of butterfly in the midwestern United States, we show that butterflies are shifting their centroids in all directions, except towards regions that are warming the fastest (southeast)...

The genetics of the European polecat in the Iberian Peninsula

Rafael Barrientos, Guillermo Carmona, Tamara Burgos, Sara Martin‐Garcia, more

The Journal of Wildlife Management > 88 > 7 > n/a - n/a

Volunteer‐based roadkill monitoring schemes, including road carcass sampling, can represent considerable advances with respect to classical methods employed in conservation biology. We studied the genetic diversity, structure, and dynamics of the European polecat (Mustela putorius) across the Iberian Peninsula. We used samples of road carcasses collected by volunteers because this carnivore is an...

Interspecific competition shapes bird species' distributions along tropical precipitation gradients

Benjamin G. Freeman, Eliot T. Miller, Matthew Strimas‐Mackey

Ecology Letters > 27 > 8 > n/a - n/a

The hypothesis that species' ranges are limited by interspecific competition has motivated decades of debate, but a general answer remains elusive. Here we test this hypothesis for lowland tropical birds by examining species' precipitation niche breadths. We focus on precipitation because it—not temperature—is the dominant climate variable that shapes the biota of the lowland tropics. We used 3.6...

A protocol for harvesting biodiversity data from Facebook

Shawan Chowdhury, Sultan Ahmed, Shofiul Alam, Corey T. Callaghan, more

Conservation Biology > 38 > 4 > n/a - n/a

The expanding use of community science platforms has led to an exponential increase in biodiversity data in global repositories. Yet, understanding of species distributions remains patchy. Biodiversity data from social media can potentially reduce the global biodiversity knowledge gap. However, practical guidelines and standardized methods for harvesting such data are nonexistent. Following data privacy...

Data coverage, biases, and trends in a global citizen‐science resource for monitoring avian diversity

Frank A. La Sorte, Jeremy M. Cohen, Walter Jetz

Diversity and Distributions > 30 > 8 > n/a - n/a

Aim Understanding and addressing the global biodiversity crisis requires ecological information compiled continuously from across the globe. Data from citizen science initiatives are useful for quantifying species' ecological niches and geographical distributions but can be difficult to apply towards biodiversity monitoring. The presence of fixed geographical locations reduces the opportunistic nature...

Impacts of large dams on Amazonian floodplain bird communities

Gustavo de Melo Martins, Juliana Menger, Tomaz Nascimento Melo, Camila Cherem Ribas

Biotropica > 56 > 4 > n/a - n/a

Amazon river floodplains sustain distinct kinds of seasonally flooded habitats along with their specialized biota. River sediment load and geomorphology determine vegetation physiognomy and the occurrence of specialized taxa. Hydropower dams disrupt the annual flooding cycle, affecting the floodplain habitats and associated avifauna. Our goal was to understand how permanent flooding caused by large...

Biogeomorphological response to river restoration of a suburban river with large wood: Creating a restoration vision and cost‐effectively monitoring the response trajectory using the citizen science MoRPh survey

Lucy Shuker, Angela Gurnell, Toby Hull

River Research and Applications > 40 > 6 > 1106 - 1124

Biogeomorphological responses to river restoration are rarely reported. Despite a transition in the emphasis and priorities of river management over the last 40 years from controlling river channel forms and processes to restoring and supporting natural processes, forms and functions, remarkably little information is available on project outcomes. Here, using the example of Beverley Brook within Wimbledon...
