Climate Change in the Brazilian Cerrado: A Looming Threat to Terrestrial Biodiversity Due to climate change, the Brazilian Cerrado, a global biodiversity hotspot, is becoming hotter and drier, with longer and more intense dry seasons. This alters biodiversity by altering plant physiol...

The #BrazilianCerrado global #biodiversityhotspot is heating up and drying out. #ClimateChange is reshaping its species and #ecosystems, threatening the life adapted to its once-predictable seasons 🌍

Comprehensive update to the world's biodiversity hotspots project begins “Biodiversity is distributed unevenly across the planet, and some places face far greater threats than others. The Biodiversity Hotspots identify areas of exceptional endemism under severe pressure. However, the data have not been updated for 25 years, and much has...

Lakeshore shallows can be biodiversity hotspots - but warming is changing their complex ecology The 19th-century American naturalist Henry David Thoreau described the small freshwater lake at Walden as “Earth’s eye” – a measure of the complexity of ecological interactions. Our new research at Lake Taupō, New Zealand’s largest body of freshwater renowned for...

To do so, we compiled a list of native plant species in the PNW for which we curated data on the number...

Unexpected microbial diversity in new Caledonia's ultramafic ecosystems with conservation implications in a biodiversity hotspot Surprisingly, fungal species richness was higher in iron crust soils (Goro and Tiébaghi sites). These soils are composed of ironstones and gravels and are, subsequently, empirically thought to harbour more stressful conditions than lateritic soils15. However, nickel content is known...
