TL;DR: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis investigating the frequency and importance of different mechanisms by which climate has impacted natural populations found significantly greater support for indirect, biotic mechanisms than direct, abiotic mechanisms as mediators of the impact of climate on populations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the response of bird populations to climate variance and change attempts to shed light on the issue of whether networks of protected areas remain effective as the climate changes, and the results suggest that despite projected declines in many of the species investigated, most sites that are designated as EU Special Protection Areas in the UK can still retain their conservation value and legal status.

TL;DR: A flexible meta-analysis method is introduced that is better suited in the biological sciences than the methods usually employed in popular meta- analysis software because it accounts for a common form of nonindependence of the data.

TL;DR: The results of the eighth annual horizon scan of emerging issues likely to affect global biological diversity, the environment, and conservation efforts in the future are presented, with potential substantial global effects.

TL;DR: How the database can help to expand multi-directional information transfers between research, practice and policy, which should improve the implementation of evidence-based conservation and, ultimately, achieve better outcomes for biodiversity is discussed.
