This study shows that ants can improve their thermal safety margins by shifting activity to cooler niches, with greater benefits in lowland areas than uplands.

This study evaluates the scientific and economic value of community-based monitoring in Madagascar, finding that involving local communities reduces costs while improving biodiversity monitoring across different conservation perspectives.

The paper predicts vertical foraging niches in mammals and birds using functional traits, phylogeny, and predation risk, revealing strong associations with diet, body mass, and geographic patterns.

This study reclassifies Koppen-Geiger climate zones using microclimate data, finding that microclimate reclassifies 38% of global areas and shows greater spatial variability.
