Did the Azores Islands' landscape change before Portuguese colonization? To find out the answer, read Dr. Valentí Rull's recent Commentary piece🌴🏞️ doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

Alpine treelines in the NE USA are shifting upslope by 3 m/decade due to climate warming. 🌲 Get to know more about important insights on treeline demography & environmental factors here: doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14… #ClimateChange

Variation in macroinvertebrate biomass in Northern Italy's mountain regions are explained by basin-scale factors, mainly precipitation. Climatic factors control energy flow to higher trophic levels, impacting downstream areas and terrestrial ecosystems. doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…

Genetic diversity and historical range shifts of the common gartersnake in North America. Four distinct lineages were identified, suggesting a Pliocene origin and complex expansion patterns influenced by major rivers and climate changes. doi.org/10.1111/jbi.14…
