The paper shows climate, not latitude, drives plant-pollinator specialisation globally, with specialisation peaking at northern mid-latitudes and declining in warmer, more seasonal climates.

This paper introduces NADE, a method to estimate how site-specific noise affects species detection by machine learning models, showing significant variation in detectability across sites and species.

Across 67,217 IUCN-assessed animal species, deteriorations in Red List category outnumber improvements sixfold; reintroductions and invasive species control are most consistently linked to recovery.

The paper predicts bird species' responses to agricultural expansion using trait and taxonomic data, finding that 74-78% of terrestrial birds decline in cropland areas and that future agricultural scenarios have varying impacts on bird populations.
