As an important ecosystem service, pollinators contribute to functioning ecosystems and sustainable crop yields. There have been growing concerns that competition for floral resources between managed and wild pollinators might contribute to the current decline of pollinators, however comprehensive field data to support these concerns are scarce, particularly from northern Europe. Here, we focus on semi-natural calcareous grasslands to assess potential competition between managed and wild pollinators within the context of habitat restoration. Based on transect walks at 30 sites across Estonian islands and coastline, most of which were restored from overgrown areas to open grasslands, we measured the abundance and species richness of pollinator species from five groups (bumblebees, butterflies and burnet moths, hoverflies, solitary bees, honey bees). We assessed the potential impact of honey bee competition by relating the number of honey bee colonies within a 2 km radius to the abundance and species richness of wild pollinators while correcting for the restoration status of the grassland (restored vs reference sites), local flower cover, and the percentage of forest within a 2 km radius. We found that honey bee colony density had no effect on the abundance or species richness of wild pollinators. Flower cover had some relevance, while the other variables revealed no effects. In conclusion, our results do not indicate detrimental effects of managed honey bees on flower-visiting wild pollinators at current colony densities in our study region.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article e04114"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385245","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}

The Japanese flying squid, <em>Todarodes pacificus</em>, a key neritic-oceanic species in the Northwest Pacific, has shown regionally divergent catch trends in recent decades. While such patterns may be influenced by multiple factors, one of which is whether climate change has altered the species suitable habitat and distribution. Therefore, this study, using ensemble species distribution model (SDM) calibrated with presence-only data and environmental variables, assessed whether climate-driven habitat shifts explain divergent spatial patterns. We applied eleven SDM algorithms and selected high-performing models, then ensembled the selected models to project the species distribution under current condition and future climate scenarios (SSP126, SSP245, SSP585) across three timeframes (2030s, 2060s, 2090s). Sea surface salinity and temperature were the strongest determinants of habitat suitability, with the squid favoring waters below ∼33.5 psu and temperatures between ∼11–22 °C. Projections consistently showed a marked contraction of suitable habitat, particularly in the Sea of Japan and the Pacific coast around Japan, with limited poleward expansion. Our results highlight the East China Sea and Yellow Sea as potential climate refugia of <em>T. pacificus</em>.

As a result, we investigated the effects of livestock grazing at three different intensities (no grazing, moderate grazing, and heavy grazing) on plant functional traits, functional diversity, ecosystem functions, and ecosystem multifunctionality (EMF) in herbaceous marsh wetlands in the Tumen River Basin of Northeast China. Our findings indicated that as grazing intensity increased, plant growth strategies shifted significantly from acquisitive traits to conservative traits. The rise in functional evenness (FEve) and drop in functional divergence (FDiv) indicated a strong grazing-induced filtering effect, making coexisting species more functionally similar. Additionally, several ecosystem functions (aboveground biomass, belowground biomass, soil organic carbon, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, etc.) and EMF declined dramatically as grazing intensity increased. The results of the structural equation model revealed no significant relationship between plant community traits and EMF. By contrast, changes in soil environmental factors were found to make an important contribution to the reduction in EMF.

Such effects may reduce survival rates and population viability, but such long-term studies are challenging. Due to the inherent difficulties of conducting large-scale replicated studies in such regulated rivers <em>in situ</em>, river managers require new tools to assess how mitigation measures may affect fish populations. In this study, we used inSALMO 7.3-SD, an individual-based model developed for hydropeaking studies, to investigate the effects of three levels of minimum baseflows (9, 12 and 15 m³/s) and spawning gravel augmentation on the size and number of Atlantic salmon (<em>Salmo salar</em>) and brown trout (<em>S. trutta</em>) outmigrants in the hydropeaking-regulated River Gullspång, Sweden. Our results show that under hydropeaking conditions, higher minimum flows increased outmigrant size, they simultaneously reduced outmigrant numbers, affecting age-1 trout and age-2 individuals of both species. In contrast, gravel augmentation did not affect outmigrant size but generally increased outmigrant production, mainly benefiting age-1 salmon and age-2 trout, although this effect diminished at higher base flow levels. We identified poor body condition and fish predation of juveniles as the primary mortality sources driving the effects on outmigrant production. Our results indicate that the spatial distribution of juveniles was affected by gravel addition and that this effect in turn led to altered mortality rates. Our findings underscore the complex interplay between flow management, habitat modifications, and species-specific behaviors. Also, they highlight the need to carefully balance operational and morphological restoration measures to optimize habitat quality and support effective conservation of salmonids in hydropeaking-regulated rivers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54264,"journal":{"name":"Global Ecology and Conservation","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article e04111"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147385134","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}

The operation of the Three Gorges Dam (TGD) on the Yangtze River has significantly altered flow and water temperature regimes, reduced sediment concentration, and led to changes in river morphodynamics in the downstream reaches. These hydro-morphological changes have negatively impacted the spawning habitat suitability of FMCC, however, for the multiple hydro-morphological changes induced by the TGD, existing research primarily focuses on hydrological processes, and has not yet quantitatively distinguished the individual contributions of each factor to habitat loss. To disentangle the joint effects of hydro-morphological changes on habitat, we first constructed a one-dimensional physical habitat model that considered the spawning requirements of water level fluctuation, flow velocity, and water temperature for FMCC spawning. Then, we simulated and calculated habitat quality and quantity in pre-and post-TGD scenarios and examined the effects of hydro-morphological changes on the reduction in the spawning habitat of FMCC. Our results indicate that the Weighted Usable Area (<em>WUA</em>) for spawning decreased by approximately 12.1 % during the spawning period from April to July after the TGD operation. Of this reduction, changes in water temperature accounted for 46.0 %, alterations in the flow regime contributed 24.8 %, and changes in river morphology were responsible for the remaining 29.2 %. The most significant habitat loss occurred in May, with the <em>WUA</em> decreasing by 19.6 % relative to the pre-dam period. Decreased water temperatures due to TGD operation predominantly reduced <em>WUA</em> in April and May, while flow regime changes primarily reduced <em>WUA</em> in June and July. Additionally, channel erosion reduced <em>WUA</em> by decreasing wetted area and lowering the suitability of water level fluctuation, with varying spatial effects on habitat suitability changes. To mitigate <em>WUA</em> loss during spawning seasons, we propose an optimal combination of discharge quantity (Q) and daily discharge increment (ΔQ), which can inform dam operation schemes to reduce the impacts of altered flow regimes.
