Extreme migratory connectivity and apparent mirroring of non-breeding grounds conditions in a severely declining breeding population of an Afro-Palearctic migratory bird by Máire Kirkland, Nathaniel N. D. Annorbah, Lee Barber, John Black, Jeremy Blackburn, Michael Colley, Gary Clewley, Colin Cross, Mike Drew, Oliver J. L. Fox, Vicky Gilson, Steffen Hahn, Chas Holt, Mark F. Hulme, John Jarjou, Dembo Jatta, Emmanuel Jatta, Kevin Leighton, Ernestina Mensah-Pebi, Chris Orsman, Naffie Sarr, Roger Walsh, Leo Zwarts, Robert J. Fuller, Philip W. Atkinson, Chris M. Hewson

“…Abstract Understanding the distribution of breeding populations of migratory animals in the non-breeding period (migratory connectivity) is important for understanding their response to environmental change. High connectivity (low non-breeding population dispersion) may lower resilience to climate change and increase vulnerability to habitat loss within their range. …”

Taung and beyond: The mining history, geology and taphonomy of Australopithecus in South Africa by Rieneke Weij, Stephanie E. Baker, Tara R. Edwards, Job Kibii, Georgina Luti, Robyn Pickering

“…The South African Fossil Hominid sites provide a unique opportunity to expand our understanding of the intersection between human evolution and changing environmental conditions, as the karstic landscape and remnant cave systems preserve both fossils and sedimentary archives of past environmental change. We offer a perspective on future research areas: more standardised excavation practices and techniques to raise the quality of data collected from the caves and new techniques to date and extract palaeoclimate data from cave deposits themselves, to provide novel insights into the world of the early australopiths. …”

Reflections by a member of the Editorial Board by Kevin T. Smith

“…Throughout my career, my personal research has involved tree growth and wood decay in response to injury, infection, and environmental change. These tree responses affect forest health, the economic value of wood for art and industry, the tree-ring record of environmental conditions, and the performance of trees in urban and community environments. …”
