For hibernating mammals, increases in yearly temperature can impact hibernation quality, leading to subsequent fitness fallouts. For bats, hibernating at warmer temperatures requires increased energy expenditure, which can result in lowered survival or reproductive success. While previous studies have indicated that warming may promote range changes for some bat species, the impact on cryophilic (cold […] More
J. Environ. Econ. Manag. 100, 102277 (2020). Financial investments in fossil fuel assets could be lost if climate policies limit emissions in line with climate targets. Stranded assets, as these are known, thus represent an investment risk which may not be currently accounted for by investors and company valuations. The German climate policy Klimabeitrag — […] More
Sites and study species Both playback experiments (described below) took place in multiple wetlands in Champaign (n = 3), Iroquois (n = 1), and Vermilion counties (n = 3) in central Illinois, USA. Sites were comprised of mesic shrubland habitat, with dominant shrubs including willow (Salix spp.), dogwood (Cornus spp.), and Autumn Olive (Elaeagnus umbellate), with mesic grasses abundant among shrubs. Patches […] More
Mean dynamic topography (MDT) delineates phytoplankton regional variation MDT divides the North Atlantic into four regions: subpolar, temperate, subtropical, and Gulf Stream/Sargasso Sea (Fig. 1a) (ref. [23]). Two meridional transects covered these four subregions capturing the initiation of winter deep mixing and the peak of the bloom following the water column re-stratification (Fig. S1). Fig. 1: […] More
