TL;DR: The rise of NbS in climate policy is highlighted—focusing on their potential for climate change adaptation as well as mitigation—and barriers to their evidence-based implementation are discussed, highlighting avenues for further research.

TL;DR: While appropriately located PAs may slow the rate at which species are driven towards extinction, recent PA network expansion has under-represented important sites, and better targeted expansion of PA networks would help to improve biodiversity trends.

TL;DR: This work develops quantitative methods for a classic technique in systematic zoology, namely the use of divergence between undisputed sympatric species as a yardstick for assessing the taxonomic status of allopatric forms, which can be applied to the global avifauna to deliver taxonomic decisions with a high level of objectivity, consistency and transparency.

TL;DR: A conceptual framework for testing the relative significance of both adaptive and neutral mechanisms leading to acoustic divergence is summarized, predictions for cases where these processes lead to speciation are predicted, and how their relative importance plays out over evolutionary time are summarized.

TL;DR: To my knowledge, these data provide the first direct evidence that species recognition and ecological adaptation operate in tandem, and that the interplay between these factors drives the evolution of mating signals in suboscine birds.
