Climate change is expected to have significant yet distinct impacts on arthropods. Studying the species distribution of odonates, which are considered a model taxon for studying climate change and a flagship group for assessing ecosystem health, can...

Anthropogenic pressures and climate change have increasingly affected biodiversity and ecosystem services, particularly in freshwater ecosystems, which are among the most sensitive and vulnerable environments. Citizen science has emerged as a promisi...

After a series of successful reintroductions, the Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) is expanding its range throughout Europe. Timely monitoring of beaver activity contributes to early detection of environmental impacts and aids in mitigating human&ndash...

Urban and peri-urban ecosystems play a growing role in biodiversity conservation, yet multi-annual comparative studies from Central-Eastern Europe remain scarce. This study presents the first three-year (2021–2023) dataset comparing ground beet...

This study assessed the suitability of Woppa (Great Keppel Island), Queensland, as potential koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) habitat by combining existing koala-habitat ranking datasets with satellite-derived vegetation-health indices to inform conser...

Andean high-altitude ecosystems are critical to sustaining biodiversity, agriculture, and the livelihoods of indigenous populations. However, accelerating glacier retreat, irregular precipitation, and intensive water use have exacerbated ecosystem de...

Saprotrophic and lignocellulolytic fungi from tropical areas especially represent a promising yet relatively underexplored frontier for both taxonomy and applied research. This makes ex situ conservation through culture collections of paramount impor...

The detrimental effects of anthropogenic pollution are often magnified across ecosystems due to the interconnected nature of land, rivers, and oceans. Phytoremediation is an accessible technique that leverages the ability of plants to absorb and sequ...

Whale sharks seasonally aggregate in Djibouti (East Africa), supporting ecotourism activities which benefit the local community. However, the environmental factors influencing whale shark relative abundance at this site are still not well understood....

The rising global demand for renewable energy and the urgency of mitigating climate change have positioned biofuels, particularly sugarcane ethanol, at the forefront of sustainability and conservation debates. Although promoted as a renewable alterna...
