Navigating transformation of biodiversity and climate

Limited integration of biodiversity within climate policy: Evidence from the Alliance of Small Island States

“…Average rates of global warming may reach 1.5 •C above pre-industrial levels as early as 2030 and one in eight species are at risk of extinction (IPBES, 2019;IPCC, 2018). Solving these crises requires us to understand that climate change and biodiversity loss are mutually interdependent (CBD, 2019;Marquet et al, 2019). Some species are going extinct as a result of rising temperatures, as they are unable to shift their geographical distribution (Nunez et al, 2019;Taylor and Kumar, 2016).…”

The first record of the Siberian northern shrike (Lanius borealis sibiricus) in Lithuania with molecular confirmation

“…Bird migration is a very complicated phenomenon that could be affected by a considerable number of factors (Newton, 2008;Žalakevičius, 2015). One of those could be the climate change, which has been observed around the world (Marquet et al, 2019;Jetz et al, 2019). Without exception, warmer winters and springs have also been observed in Lithuania (Bukantis, Rimkus, 2005;Rimkus et al, 2018).…”

Biodiversity transformations in the global ocean: A climate change and conservation management perspective

“…The findings presented by Hodapp et al (2023) on ocean biodiversity transformations linked to climate change across scales, makes an important and timely contribution. This study will inspire more research into the spatial heterogeneity of climate impacts on biodiversity and food web structure and promote a transdisciplinary approach to understand biodiversity transformations in the ocean (Convey & Peck, 2019;Sumaila et al, 2019), providing solutions and actions to mitigate climate change (Marquet et al, 2019).…”
