Abstract In the face of increasing cumulative effects from human and natural disturbances, sustaining coral reefs will require a deeper understanding drivers resilience in space time. Here we develop high‐resolution, spatially explicit model dynamics on Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Our accounts for biological, ecological environmental processes, as well spatial variation water quality diseases, bleaching, outbreaks crown‐of‐thorns starfish ( Acanthaster cf. solaris ), tropical...
Abstract Knowledge of global patterns biodiversity, ranging from intraspecific genetic diversity (GD) to taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity, is essential for identifying conserving the processes that shape distribution life. Yet, GD its drivers remain elusive. Here we assess existing biodiversity theories explain predict in terrestrial mammal assemblages. We find a strong positive covariation between interspecific with evolutionary time, reflected being best predictor GD. Moreover, reveal...
Abstract Criticism has been levelled at climate‐change‐induced forecasts of species range shifts that do not account explicitly for complex population dynamics. The relative importance such dynamics under climate change is, however, undetermined because direct tests comparing the performance demographic models vs. simpler ecological niche are still lacking owing to difficulties in evaluating using real‐world data. We provide first comparison skill coupled ecological‐niche‐population and...
Spatial and temporal patterns of future coral bleaching are uncertain, hampering global conservation efforts to protect reefs against climate change. Our analysis daily projections ocean warming establishes the severity, annual duration, onset severe risk for this century, pinpointing vital climatic refugia. We show that low-latitude regions most vulnerable thermal stress will experience little reprieve from mitigation. By 2080, is likely start on in spring, rather than late summer, with...
Green Culture is about an idea the environment and how we talk it. Is something simply out there in world to be found? Or it, as this book suggests, a concept set of cultural values constructed by our use language? That language, its many forms, comes under scrutiny here, distinguished authors writing from variety perspectives consider discussion evolve together, process results action or inaction. Listen politicians, social scientists, naturalists, economists environment, problem becomes...
The extinction of the woolly rhinoceros ( Coelodonta antiquitatis ) at onset Holocene remains an enigma, with conflicting evidence regarding its cause and spatiotemporal dynamics. This partly reflects challenges in determining demographic responses late Quaternary megafauna to climatic anthropogenic causal drivers available genetic paleontological techniques. Here, we show that elucidating mechanisms ancient extinctions can benefit from a detailed understanding fine-scale metapopulation...
Predicting ecological response to climate change is often limited by a lack of relevant local data from which directly applicable mechanistic models can be developed. This limits predictions qualitative assessments or simplistic rules thumb in data-poor regions, making management the systems difficult. We demonstrate method for developing quantitative ecosystems based on space-for-time substitution, using distant, well-studied across an inherent climatic gradient predict response. Changes...
Abstract With ongoing introductions into Australia since the 1700s, European rabbit ( Oryctolagus cuniculus ) has become one of most widely distributed and abundant vertebrate pests, adversely impacting Australia's biodiversity agroeconomy. To understand population range dynamics species its impacts better, occurrence abundance data have been collected by researchers citizens from sites covering a broad spectrum climatic environmental conditions in Australia. The lack common accessible...
Context The research explores the benefits of real time tracking soil moisture for various land management contexts and importance spatio-temporal modelling mapping to gain clear visual understanding fluxes across a farm. Aims This aims outline key processes required building an operational on-farm monitoring system where product is highly granular daily maps depicting variations temporally, spatially vertically. Methods We describe capacitance probe installation, data collection...
ABSTRACT Motivation Timing, duration and severity of marine heatwaves are changing rapidly in response to anthropogenic climate change, thereby increasing the frequency coral bleaching events. Mass events result from cumulative heat stress, which is commonly quantified through degree heating weeks (DHW). Here we introduce CoralBleachRisk , a daily‐resolution global dataset that characterises sea surface temperatures, stress anomalies timing, magnitude severe conditions recent past (1985)...

Abstract Spatially explicit population models (SEPMs) can simulate spatiotemporal changes in species' range dynamics response to variation climatic and environmental conditions, anthropogenic activities. When combined with pattern‐oriented modelling methods, ecological processes drivers of shifts extinctions be identified, plausible chains causality revealed. The open‐source multi‐platform R package poems provides functionality for simulating validating projections using stochastic,...
