Japanese Small-scale fishers adaptive capacity and furthest response to climate change

The database contains data collected from 25 communities along the western coast of Shikoku, Japan, between January and March 2023. It includes values of adaptive capacity indicators aligned with the adaptive capacity domains outlined by Cinner and Barnes (2019). Additionally, the dataset captures fishers' responses to climate change, following the adaptation pathways proposed by Fedele et al. (2019) and Ojea et al. (2020).

Cereal yield response to climate change in key grain producing areas of the Northern Hemisphere

Vulnerability mapping is a field of increasing importance as we search for an ecologically and economically sustainable climate-smart land-use system, which is necessary for the development of green infrastructure and agricultuVulnerability mapping is a growing field with increasing importance in developing an ecologically and economically sustainable climate-smart land-use system, which may serve the advancement of green infrastructure and agricultural production. The transformation of the climatic regime has an undeniable impact on plant production, but we rarely have long enough data series to scrutinize the unfolding effects of the microregional patterns of the global climate-cereal yield relationship. To fill this gap, I will analyze three regions of the Northern Hemisphere under continental climate, which represent key landscapes concerning global food production and security, contributing a multi-way knowledge transfer through training, teaching, and different form of communication activities. The relationship between climate indices, maize, and wheat yields will be analyzed applying high geographical resolution data from Northern China, Hungary, and northern states of the US Midwest at a landscape scale by Köppen-Geiger zones using linear, local, and spatial regression and bootstrap resampling tests and developed data visualization techniques. This offers a unique opportunity to comparatively analyze the differences in climate-cereal yield associations by landscape types and regions. The expected results will provide highly supportive factors for planning and managing an ecologically and economically sustainable land-use system. The intended publications, lectures, and collaborative actions will have a positive impact on domestic and EU research. The planned training and the expected results of the action will further strengthen my career opportunities and put me in a position where I will be considered for a tenured position at a research institution in Hungary.

Data from: Species-specific traits mediate avian demographic responses under past climate change

Anticipating species' responses to environmental change is a pressing mission in biodiversity conservation. Despite decades of research investigating how climate change may affect population sizes, historical context is lacking and the traits which mediate demographic sensitivity to changing climate remain elusive. We use whole-genome sequence data to reconstruct the demographic histories of 263 bird species over the past million years and identify networks of interacting morphological and life-history traits associated with changes in effective population size (Ne) in response to climate warming and cooling. Our results identify direct and indirect effects of key traits representing survival, reproduction, and dispersal processes on long-term demographic responses to climate change and highlight traits most likely to influence population responses to ongoing climate warming.

Data for 'Thermal regimes of groundwater- and lake-fed headwater streams differ in their response to climate variability'

This dataset contains seasonal and annual mean spot stream temperatures for the six groundwater-fed and seven lake-fed streams at the Turkey Lakes Watershed. We have also included seasonal and annual scale hydroclimatic variables (air temperature, solar radiation, discharge, precipitation, ice on/off dates, and April 1st SWE). The Turkey Lakes Watershed is approximately 65 km northwest of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada.  Manual spot stream temperature measurements were made by field technicians visiting the catchment outlets as part of a routine water quality monitoring program at the TLW. The stream temperature data record extends from 1983 through 2018. The stream temperature record for stream 013 is 1986-2018. Hydroclimatic data is also 1983-2018, with the exception of lake ice data which ended in 2015. See the methods section of the associated publication for more details.

Herbaceous vegetation responses to experimental fire in savannas and forests depend on biome and climate

Fire-vegetation feedbacks potentially maintain global savanna and forest distributions. Accordingly, vegetation in savanna and forest ecosystems should have differential responses to fire, but fire response data for herbaceous vegetation has yet to be synthesized across biomes. Here, we examined herbaceous vegetation responses to experimental fire at 30 sites spanning four continents. Across a variety of metrics, herbaceous vegetation increased in abundance where fire was applied, with larger responses to fire in wetter and in cooler and/or less seasonal systems. Compared to forests, savannas were associated with a 4.8 (±0.4) times larger difference in burned versus unburned herbaceous vegetation abundance. In particular, grass cover decreased with fire exclusion in savannas, largely via decreases in C4 grass cover, whereas changes in fire frequency had a relatively weak effect on grass cover in forests. These differential responses underscore the importance of fire for maintaining the vegetation structure of savannas and forests.

Data for: Simulated climate change causes asymmetric responses in insect life history timing potentially disrupting a classic ecological speciation system

Climate change may alter phenology within populations with cascading consequences for community interactions and ongoing evolutionary processes. Here, we measured the response to climate change in two sympatric, recently diverged (~170 years) populations of Rhagoletis pomonella flies specialized on different host fruits (hawthorn and apple) and their parasitoid wasp communities. We tested whether warmer temperatures affect dormancy regulation and its consequences for synchrony across trophic levels and temporal isolation between divergent populations. Under warmer temperatures, both fly populations developed earlier. However, warming significantly increased the proportion of maladaptive pre-winter development in apple, but not hawthorn, flies. Parasitoid phenology was less affected, potentially generating ecological asynchrony. Observed shifts in fly phenology under warming may decrease temporal isolation, potentially limiting ongoing divergence. Our findings of complex sensitivity of life-history timing to changing temperatures predict that coming decades may see multifaceted ecological and evolutionary changes in temporal specialist communities.
