Supplementary data: "Future operation of hydropower in Europe under high renewable penetration and climate change"

This dataset contains modelled inflow time series described in the paper "Future operation of hydropower in Europe under high renewable penetration and climate change". The inflow is derived from ten different combinations of five General Circulation Models and two Regional Climate Models at the beginning of the century ("Hydro_inflow_BOC_(...).csv"), 1991 - 2020, and at the end of the century ("Hydro_inflow_EOC_(...).csv"), 2071 - 2100, under three CO2-emissions scenarios (RCP2.6, RCP4.5, and RCP8.5). The ensemble mean for each emissions scenario is presented as well. The historical data that is not confidential is given as well. See "data_sources" for sources.

VISION Invited lecture - Future approaches of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma

Recording and presentation of the invited lecture that took place online on 14 October 2020 - Prof Alfredo Carrato - Future approaches of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma. Although pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is not so frequent, it is the third leading cause of cancer death. As it shows non-specific symptoms it is diagnosed late and only 20% of patients are surgery candidates. Tumor recurrs locally or distantly after surgery in two thirds of them. Only 5% of PDAC patients survive 10 years. Targeted therapies have not yet proven their efficacy and treatment prescribed consists of chemotherapy combinations. PDAC has a dense stroma that reaches an 80% of the tumor, helping PDAC epithelial tumor cells to evade the immune system and growth, invade and metastasize through a crosstalk among PDAC cells and fibroblasts, macrophages, pericytes, stroma, etc. Targeting the stromal constituents may result in a step forward a better treatment efficacy. PDAC microbiome is unique and has been identified into the cancer cells and the local immune cells. Wisely management of the different resident microbial species could also result in prevention and another alternative for treatment. The identification of the PDAC high-risk population and the development of a convenient screening program is an objective to be reached for an earlier diagnosis and a potential advantage as more patients will be candidates for surgery, but to know in depth and detail the biology of the tumor and its interaction with the host will lead to a better treatment design and a real benefit of our patients.

Conservation of woody species in China under future climate and land-cover changes

<ol> <li>Climate and land-cover changes are major threats to biodiversity, and their impacts are expected to intensify in the future. Protected areas (PAs) are crucial for biodiversity conservation. However, their effectiveness under future climate and land-cover changes remains to be evaluated. Moreover, the impacts of climate and land-cover changes on multi-dimensions of biodiversity are rarely considered when expanding PAs.</li> <li>Using distributions of 8732 woody species in China and species distribution models, we identified species that will be threatened by future climate and land-cover changes (i.e. species with significant projected loss of suitable habitats by the 2070s) under different dispersal scenarios. We then estimated the geographical patterns in species richness (SR) and phylogenetic diversity (PD) of these threatened species, evaluated the effectiveness (i.e. the changes in SR and PD) of Chinese PAs, and identified conservation priorities for future PA expansion.</li> <li>Approximately 12-38% of woody species will be threatened under different scenarios. These species tend to be clustered in the tree of life, and their SR and PD show consistent spatial patterns, being highest at low latitudes. PAs currently protect 90% of these threatened species. However, their SR and PD of threatened species within PAs will decrease by 30-40% by the 2070s, which reduces the PA effectiveness, especially for PAs at low elevations and those with low topographic heterogeneity and high natural vegetation loss.</li> <li>The conservation priorities identified from the SR and PD of the threatened species are mainly in mountains in southern China, the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, and Taiwan Island. PA expansion and ecological corridors in these regions are needed to conserve these threatened species.</li> <li> Synthesis and applications. We present a systematic study of the impacts of future climate and land-cover changes on the conservation status of woody species and PA effectiveness in China. Our results suggest that future climate and land-cover changes will reduce PA effectiveness, and the spatial prioritization of biodiversity conservation should consider the influences of future global changes on biodiversity. These results shed new light on the conservation priorities for the post-2020 expansion of PAs in China.</li> </ol>

Global diversity patterns of larger benthic foraminifera under future climate change

Global warming threatens the viability of tropical coral reefs and associated marine calcifiers, including symbiont-bearing larger benthic foraminifera (LBF). The impacts of current climate change on LBF are debated because they were particularly diverse and abundant during past warm periods. Studies on the responses of selected LBF species to changing environmental conditions reveal varying results. Based on a comprehensive review of the scientific literature on LBF species occurrences, we applied species distribution modeling using Maxent to estimate present-day and future species richness patterns on a global scale for the time periods 2040–2050 and 2090–2100. For our future projections, we focus on Representative Concentration Pathway 6.0 from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which projects mean surface temperature changes of +2.2°C by the year 2100. This data set comprises all raw data and results. Our results suggest that species richness in the Central Indo-Pacific is two to three times higher than in the Bahamian ecoregion, which we have identified as the present-day center of LBF diversity in the Atlantic. Our future predictions project a dramatic temperature-driven decline in low-latitude species richness and an increasing widening bimodal latitudinal pattern of species diversity. While the central Indo-Pacific, now the stronghold of LBF diversity, is expected to be most pushed outside of the currently realized niches of most species, refugia may be largely preserved in the Atlantic. LBF species will face large-scale non-analogous climatic conditions compared to currently realized climate space in the near future, as reflected in the extensive areas of extrapolation, particularly in the Indo-Pacific. Our study supports hypotheses that species richness and biogeographical patterns of LBF will fundamentally change under future climate conditions, possibly initiating a faunal turnover by the late 21st century.
