Forest structural diversity determines tree growth synchrony in response to climate change

The paper examines how forest structural diversity affects tree growth synchrony in response to climate change, finding that heterogeneous forests show lower synchrony than recently-established ones.

Multidimensionality in the thermal niches of dung beetles could limit species' responses to temperature changes

This study shows that dung beetles have multidimensional thermal niches, where temperature effects vary across diel, seasonal, and geographical scales, leading to potential trade-offs in species responses to warming.

A multiscale view of the Phanerozoic fossil record reveals the three major biotic transitions

The paper analyzes the Phanerozoic fossil record to identify three major biotic transitions by revealing four global benthic mega-assemblages and their shifts in dominance.

Regularities in species niches reveal the World's climatic regions

The paper identifies 16 global climatic regions based on species niches, consistent across animal groups and plant classifications, highlighting climatic restrictions for life.

Pleistocene climate change and the formation of regional species pools

This study uses a network approach to analyze how Pleistocene climate change shaped regional species pools of European Carabus beetles, showing that recent climate events had a greater impact than deep-time evolution.

Human activity is altering the world’s zoogeographical regions

This study shows human activity can reconfigure zoogeographical regions by altering species distributions, challenging the assumption that these regions are stable over time.
