Abstract Climate change is a pervasive threat to biodiversity. While range shifts are known consequence of climate warming contributing regional community change, less about how species’ positions shift within their climatic niches. Furthermore, whether the relative importance different variables prompting such varies with changing remains unclear. Here we analysed four decades data for 1,478 species birds, mammals, butterflies, moths, plants and phytoplankton along 1,200 km high latitudinal...
Species composition and habitats are changing at unprecedented rates in the world's oceans, potentially causing entire food webs to shift structurally functionally different regimes. Despite severity of these regime shifts, elucidating precise nature their underlying processes has remained difficult. We address this challenge with a new analytic approach detect assess relative strength driving webs. Our study draws on complexity theory, integrates network-centric exponential random graph...
Protected areas are considered fundamental to counter biodiversity loss. However, evidence for their effectiveness in averting local extinctions remains scarce and taxonomically biased. We employ a robust counterfactual multi-taxon approach compare occupancy patterns of 638 species, including birds (150), mammals (23), plants (39) phytoplankton (426) between protected unprotected sites across four decades Finland. find mixed impacts areas, with only small proportion species explicitly...
Ecological studies based on time‐series often investigate community changes centered species abundance or biomass but rarely expose the consequential functional aspects underlying such changes. Functional diversity measures have proven to be more accurate predictors for ecosystem functioning than traditional taxonomic approaches and hence gained much attention. There are only limited available that analyse implications behind decadal of entire communities. We studied zoobenthic communities...
Abstract Aim To characterize the functional diversity and selected ecological functions of marine epibenthic invertebrate communities at ecosystem scale to evaluate relative contributions environmental filtering, including bottom‐contact fishing, competitive interactions benthic community assembly. Location Flemish Cap, an production unit fishing bank in high seas north‐west Atlantic Ocean. Methods Through use Hierarchical Modelling Species Communities (HMSC), we have explored seven response...
To preserve natural ecosystems and their biodiversity, there is a need to anticipate future ecosystem changes through better understanding of underlying drivers assembly processes determining community composition. Assembly can be understood as set filters acting at different spatio‐temporal scales that jointly define the structure composition communities. Here, we explore shaping marine fish species distribution composition, using heavily exploited North Sea. Our aims are study 1) relative...
Scale-related assessment strategies are important contributions to successful ecosystem management. With varying impact of environmental drivers from local regional scales, a focal task is understand scale-dependent responses when assessing the state an ecosystem. In this study we use large-scale monitoring data, spanning 40 years and including four aquatic bioindicator groups (phytoplankton, zooplankton, periphyton, zoobenthos) expose long-term changes water quality across Russia. We...

Abstract Elasmobranchs, which include sharks and batoids, play critical roles in maintaining the integrity stability of marine food webs. However, these cartilaginous fish are among most threatened vertebrate lineages due to their widespread depletion. Consequently, understanding dynamics predicting changes elasmobranch communities major research topics conservation ecology. Here, we leverage long-term catch data from a standardized bottom trawl survey conducted 1996 2019, evaluate...
With anticipated expansion of agricultural areas for food production and increasing intensity pressures stemming from land-use, it is critical to better understand how species respond land-use change. This particularly true microbial communities which provide key ecosystem functions display fastest responses environmental However, regional effects on local conditions are often neglected, and, hence, underestimated when investigating community responses. Here we show that the forested land...

Identification of ecologically significant units at different spatial scales is essential for management biodiversity attributes. This case study illustrates a coupled methodological approach to delineate benthic habitats and associated assemblages scales. Two complementary analyses were employed based on the occurrences 99 epibenthic invertebrate species in Atlantic Canada, sampled during depth-stratified random trawl sets. To identify assemblage types, isometric feature mapping...
Coastal systems experience strong impacts of ongoing environmental change, affecting fish communities and subsequently fishery yields. In the Baltic Sea, combined effects climate-induced changes eutrophication-related pressures constitute major threats to its living resources. Although much work has been devoted uncovering on commercially most valuable stocks, only little is known about community-wide responses fished species how change may affect their yield. this study, authors use a joint...
