DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4192
Abstract: Abstract Environmental pollution, for example with metals, can significantly affect the ecosystem balance leading to severe changes. Biologically active pigments are relevant for the appearance and condition of birds. Melanin and carotenoid particles are the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evac113
Abstract: Abstract Insects have been key players in the assessments of biodiversity impacts of anthropogenically driven environmental change, including the evolutionary and ecological impacts of climate change. Populations of Edith’s Checkerspot Butterfly (Euphydryas editha) adapt rapidly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2023.0464
Abstract: To safeguard nature, we must understand the drivers of biodiversity loss. Time-delayed biodiversity responses to environmental changes (ecological lags) are often absent from models of biodiversity change, despite their well-documented existence. We quantify how lagged… read more here.

Farmers' perceptions of and responses to environmental change in southwest coastal Bangladesh
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Asia Pacific Viewpoint"
DOI: 10.1111/apv.12165
Abstract: Coastal Bangladesh is highly vulnerable to climate change and salinisation; hence, farm-level adaptation is critically important. Farmers' perceptions of and responses to environmental change were investigated in two villages in Khulna District. Perceived environmental trends… read more here.
