The arboreal ecosystem is vitally important to global and local biogeochemical processes, the maintenance of biodiversity in natural systems, human health urban environments. ability collect samples, observations, data conduct meaningful scientific research similarly vital. primary methods modes access remain limited difficult. In an online survey, canopy researchers ( n = 219) reported a range challenges obtaining adequate including ∼10% who found it impossible procure what they needed....
Abstract Climate change has widespread effects on the distribution, abundance, and behavior of species around world, leading to reshuffling ecological communities. However, it remains unclear whether individual species’ range shifts scale up result in communities whose rate lag, lead, or track climate change. We capitalized a century-old data set originally collected by Joseph Grinnell his students, plus modern resurveys, measure long-term compositional responses small mammal historical eras...
