Häkkinen, Henry; Taylor, Nigel G.; Pettorelli, Nathalie; Sutherland, William J.; Aldará, Jón; Anker‐Nilssen, Tycho; Aulert, ChristopheConservation guidance—an authoritative source of information and recommendations explicitly supporting decision-making and action regarding nature conservation—represents an important tool to communicate evidence-based advice to conservation actors. Given the rapidly increasing pressure that climate change poses to biodiversity, producing accessible, well-informed guidance on how to best manage the impacts and ...

A global horizon scan of issues impacting marine and coastal biodiversity conse...
Herbert-Read, James E.; Thornton, Ann; Amon, Diva J.; Birchenough, Silvana N. R.; Côté, Isabelle M.; Dias, Maria P.; Godley, Brendan J.; Keith, Sally A.The biodiversity of marine and coastal habitats is experiencing unprecedented change. While there are well-known drivers of these changes, such as overexploitation, climate change and pollution, there are also relatively unknown emerging issues that are poorly understood or recognized that have potentially positive or negative impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems. In this inaugural Marine and Coastal Horizo...
Linking climate change vulnerability research and evidence on conservation acti...
Hakkinen, Henry; Petrovan, Silviu O.; Sutherland, William J.; Dias, Maria P.; Ameca, Eric I.; Oppel, Steffen; Ramírez, Iván; Lawson, BeckiAn increasing number of species are facing unprecedented levels of threat to their long-term survival due to the direct and indirect impacts of climate change. Key opportunities for science to inform wildlife management are linked to increasing our understanding of how changes in climatic conditions will impact species, as well as whether, and how, managers may facilitate species' ability to adapt to change. Ho...
Limited potential for bird migration to disperse plants to cooler latitudes
González-Varo, Juan P.; Rumeu, Beatriz; Albrecht, Jörg; Arroyo, Juan M.; Bueno, Rafael S.; Burgos, Tamara; Silva, Luís P. da; Escribano-Ávila, GemaClimate change is forcing the redistribution of life on Earth at an unprecedented velocity1,2 . Migratory birds are thought to help plants to track climate change through long-distance seed dispersal3,4 . However, seeds may be consistently dispersed towards cooler or warmer latitudes depending on whether the fruiting period of a plant species coincides with northward or southward migrations. Here we assess the ...
Quantifying and addressing the prevalence and bias of study designs in the envi...
Christie, Alec P.; Abecasis, David; Adjeroud, Mehdi; Alonso, Juan C.; Amano, Tatsuya; Anton, Alvaro; Baldigo, Barry P.; Barrientos, RafaelBuilding trust in science and evidence-based decision-making depends heavily on the credibility of studies and their findings. Researchers employ many different study designs that vary in their risk of bias to evaluate the true effect of interventions or impacts. Here, we empirically quantify, on a large scale, the prevalence of different study designs and the magnitude of bias in their estimates. Randomised de...

Future Challenges in Southern Ocean Ecology Research
Xavier, José C.; Brandt, Angelika; Ropert-Coudert, Yan; Badhe, Renuka; Gutt, Julian; Havermans, Charlotte; Jones, Christopher; Costa, Erli S.The Southern Ocean is experiencing relentless change. The Antarctic and Southern Ocean community, represented by 75 scientists and policy-makers from 22 countries, recently met to formulate a collective vision on the priorities for Antarctic research for the next two decades and beyond. Here, we assess high-interest research areas related specifically to Southern Ocean life and ecology that, although not all re...
