Socio-eco-evolutionary dynamics in cities

Simone Des Roches et al.

Summary: Cities are complex systems regulated by interactions between nature and human society. Characteristics of human society create a heterogeneous environment that influences and is influenced by ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban ecology and evolutionary biology research focuses on contemporary evolution of species with ecological and social significance, but rarely fully integrate human social patterns and processes.

Localised climate change defines ant communities in human-modified tropical landscapes

Michael J. W. Boyle et al.

Summary: Logging and habitat conversion in tropical forest landscapes create hotter microclimates, affecting the abundance and functional activity of ant genera. The interaction between thermal tolerance and environmental temperature determines changes in ant communities along forest disturbance gradients. These findings highlight the importance of physiological traits in shaping disturbance-induced microclimate effects on invertebrates in tropical landscapes.

Seasonal variation in community composition and distributional ranges of birds along a subtropical elevation gradient in China

Dan Liang et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the seasonal variation in community composition and species distribution of montane birds along elevational gradients. Results showed that species richness declined in both high and low elevations between the breeding and non-breeding seasons, with changes in community composition driven by species losses in high- and low-elevation communities. Species' seasonal distribution shifts were mainly associated with breeding elevation and diet, emphasizing the importance of seasonality in montane ecosystem research and the need for conservation actions to maintain connectedness in low and middle elevations.

Lower land use intensity promoted soil macrofaunal biodiversity on a reclaimed coast after land use conversion

Baoming Ge et al.

Summary: Land reclamation, an ancient practice, has evolved over time due to population growth and societal changes. This study focused on a reclaimed area on the coast of the Yellow Sea in Jiangsu, China, approximately 100 years ago, revealing that lower-intensity land use conversion can increase soil macrofaunal biodiversity.

Indigenous plants promote insect biodiversity in urban greenspaces

Luis Mata et al.

Summary: Urban greenspaces play a crucial role in supporting biodiversity, but management practices often limit their potential by oversimplifying vegetation. This study found that diverse plant species, particularly indigenous ones, are key in sustaining a rich and varied insect community in urban areas. The presence of multi-layered vegetation, especially indigenous midstorey and canopy plants, is essential for promoting indigenous insect biodiversity in greenspaces.

Functional composition of ant assemblages in habitat islands is driven by habitat factors and landscape composition

Balazs Deak et al.

Summary: Fragmented natural habitats within human-transformed landscapes play a key role in preserving biodiversity, especially for keystone species like ants. In a large-scale study on ancient burial mounds in East-Hungary, it was found that wooded mounds with complex habitat structures support high species and functional diversity of ant assemblages due to the co-existence of multiple species with small or medium-sized colonies. The effect of landscape composition on ant diversity is mediated by habitat factors, with steep slopes buffering the negative impact of cropland matrix and enabling higher ant diversity.

Terrestrial ecological restoration in China: identifying advances and gaps

Wenhui Cui et al.

Summary: China has made significant progress in ecological restoration, with a shift in research focus from farmland ecosystems to forest ecosystems over time. Forests were the most commonly studied ecosystem type, with less attention given to wetlands and riparian systems. The study highlights the need for more effective implementation of ecological restoration projects, particularly in wetlands and riparian systems, as well as further research on the tradeoff between restorative activities, water resources, and carbon sink.

Summary: This study evaluated the effects of AES on ant abundance, diversity, and community composition, finding that AES did not significantly impact ant species richness or community composition, but increased the abundance of ants at field edges.

β diversity among ant communities on fragmented habitat islands: the roles of species trait, phylogeny and abundance

Yuhao Zhao et al.

Summary: The study assessed beta diversity of ant assemblages on island fragments in the Thousand Island Lake, China, finding that taxonomic and phylogenetic turnover components dominated overall beta diversity, while functional turnover and nestedness components contributed equally. Overall beta diversity increased with increasing isolation and inter-island distance, but abundance-weighted overall beta diversity decreased with increasing island size. These results suggest that dispersal limitation and functional redundancy may play a role in shaping beta diversity patterns in fragmented habitats.

Land-use change and biodiversity: Challenges for assembling evidence on the greatest threat to nature

Charles W. Davison et al.

Summary: Research shows that land-use change is one of the greatest threats to nature, but there are challenges in forming a comprehensive synthesis due to influences such as location, research methods, and taxonomic focus. Biases in taxonomy and regional representation have been identified, calling for more studies in understudied regions to capture regional differences and enhance understanding of the impacts of land-use change on biodiversity.

Monsoon-driven seasonal and spatial distribution of the copepod community along the northwest continental shelf of the South China Sea

Yuzheng Ren et al.

Summary: The copepod community structure in the northwestern South China Sea is significantly influenced by monsoon-driven physical processes, with a higher species diversity in summer compared to winter. Offshore samples tend to have more species, and copepods are concentrated in different areas depending on the season. Environmental factors such as temperature, salinity, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll a concentrations play important roles in shaping the copepod community structure. Monsoon-driven ocean currents have direct impacts on copepod migration and indirect effects on their distribution and seasonal patterns. Calanus sinicus is a reliable indicator of coastal currents and cyclonic eddies, while Paraeuchaeta russelli is a good indicator of coastal upwellings.

Thermal traits predict the winners and losers under climate change: an example from North American ant communities

Karl A. Roeder et al.

Summary: Predicted global temperature increases have harmful effects on insect taxa, with some ant genera increasing their incidence as temperatures rise. Genera with higher critical thermal limits are more likely to spread to more survey sites after 20 years of temperature increase.
