Reproductive-aged females are particularly important to dynamics and stability of bat populations due to their life history characteristics, but morphological sex identification methods have resulted in inaccurate reporting of sex ratios of fatalities at wind energy facilities. Our goal was to assess overall species-specific sex ratios of fatalities, and how those ratios varied by time and location. We used molecular techniques to determine the sex of 4445 carcasses of Brazilian free-tailed (<em>Tadarida brasiliensis</em>), evening (<em>Nycticeius humeralis</em>), hoary (<em>Lasiurus cinereus</em>), eastern red (<em>Lasiurus borealis</em>), northern yellow (<em>Lasiurus intermedius</em>), silver-haired (<em>Lasionycteris noctivagans</em>), and southern yellow (<em>Lasiurus ega</em>) bats found during turbine searches at 20 wind energy facilities in ten states in the United States between 2009 and 2022. Species composition and number of years of data varied by site. Overall, there were more fatalities of females than males for silver-haired and southern yellow bats, but not the other species. Brazilian free-tailed bat sex ratios were female skewed in late summer, whereas female skew occurred during portions of spring and summer/fall for eastern red bats, hoary, and silver-haired bats, and in spring and late fall for evening bats. In addition, spatial patterns in sex ratios existed for eastern red and hoary bats. The observed spatial and temporal patterns of fatalities can help target fatality reductions strategies to locations and times of year that maximize the conservation benefit of those actions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article e03672"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229695","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These environmental variables interact with habitat resource distribution, which significantly affect animal morphology, behavior, and ecological interactions, including food availability, body size, migration patterns, competitive dynamics, and shelter utilization. However, existing research predominantly focuses on small-scale and localized climatic impacts, lacking comprehensive explanations for large-scale, with multiple ecological responses. As a widely distributed rodent in arid environments, <em>Orientallactaga sibirica</em> serves as an effective bioindicator of climate and habitat resource variations. This study investigates the effects of climate change and habitat resource heterogeneity on <em>O. sibirica</em> by analyzing its body size and trophic niche through field surveys and stable isotope techniques. Climate data, altitude, and fractional vegetation cover (FVC) were integrated to explore the underlying mechanisms driving these variations. The results reveal significant variability in <em>O. sibirica</em> body size across different habitat conditions. Individuals inhabiting the mid-temperate semi-humid zone, the plateau temperate semi-arid zone, and high-altitude regions exhibited significantly larger body sizes compared to those in other climatic regions. Body size demonstrated a significant linear decline with increasing mean annual temperature, while it exhibited a significant linear increase with rising altitude, annual precipitation, and FVC. The trophic niche width of <em>O. sibirica</em> varied across habitat types, being widest in the warm-temperate semi-humid zone and at mid-altitudes. Segmented structural equation modeling revealed that elevation and mean annual temperature exerted significant negative effects on <em>O. sibirica</em> body size by affecting FVC, whereas annual precipitation had a significant positive effect on body size, mediated through FVC. These results highlight the complex interactions between climatic factors and habitat conditions in shaping the morphological and ecological adaptations of <em>O. sibirica</em>, providing valuable insights into species responses to environmental change in arid ecosystems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"61 ","pages":"Article e03670"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229692","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We applied palaeoecological methods to reconstruct changes in water table levels, acidity (pH) and local plant cover over time. Additionally, we utilized historical maps to gather data on the area's land use and land cover changes. Our findings reveal that drainage and peat harvesting significantly increased the pH level of the peatland, consequently promoting <em>Sphagnum</em> expansion. These recent changes in vegetation cover and increased acidity have led to inaccuracies in correctly identifying peatland type. Therefore, the palaeoecological record makes us question its current protection status as a true raised bog, suggesting that the site was a fen for most of the time of its functioning.

By comparing two extensive conservation strategies for Rangifer tarandus in Canada and Norway, we draw key insights for more comprehensive and actionable strategies. Conservation strategies often use multicriteria approaches combining population and habitat metrics, but seldom succeed in formally integrating these through a causal understanding of habitat-population relationships. The Canadian strategy probabilistically assesses the viability of boreal caribou populations both through direct population modeling, and by statistically linking habitat disturbance to recruitment - thus indirectly capturing habitat-mediated changes in predator-prey dynamics and their consequences on caribou vital rates. The Norwegian strategy develops an expert-based approach to score the quality of wild reindeer populations by combining assessments of habitat quality, connectivity, demography, genetics and health. While the Norwegian assessment is more locally anchored and explores a wider range of drivers, the Canadian one is more targeted and provides a statistical conversion rate between habitat and population metrics. Both assessments serve as a basis for follow-up management actions. This study highlights the need to intensify research to quantify cumulative anthropogenic impacts on the loss of functionally connected habitat, and their consequences on population viability.

Approximately 20.5 % of Japan’s total land area is designated as PAs, categorized into three ranks based on the strictness of legal protection. The study considered 2260 native temperate plant species and used climate data from the WorldClim database, incorporating 12 general circulation models (GCMs) and four shared socioeconomic pathways (SSPs).

The results showed significant variability in species richness across GCMs within the same SSP scenario. As global CO₂ concentrations increase, species richness is projected to decline, with greater losses in the no migration scenario compared to full migration. Despite these losses, even under the extreme SSP585 scenario and no migration, most native temperate plant species are expected to retain over 50 % of their potential habitats within PAs, resulting in a low risk of species extinction from all PAs.
