eLife Assessment This fundamental study substantially advances our understanding of how habitat fragmentation and climate change jointly influence bird community thermophilization in a fragmented island system. The authors provide convincing evidence using appropriate and validated methodologies to examine how island area and isolation affect the colonization of warm-adapted species and the extinction of cold-adapted species.

This idea may seem counterintuitive, since studies show that urbanization is a big driver of biodiversity loss . Cities alter the environment with artificial lighting and noise pollution , which affect many species. And urban land cover is expected to increase by 2.5% globally between 2000 and 2030 as more people move to cities. But there are ways for cities to use nature-based solutions to slow species loss within their borders.

By Morgan Tingley, Associate Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Los Angeles The Earth is losing animals, plants and other living things so fast that some scientists believe the planet is entering its sixth mass extinction. But there's some surprising good news: Urban areas may be key to slowing down or even reversing this crisis.

AbstractClimatic warming can shift community composition driven by the colonization-extinction dynamics of species with different thermal preferences; but simultaneously, habitat fragmentation can mediate species’ responses to warming. As this potential interactive effect has proven difficult to test empirically, we collected data on birds over 10 years of climate warming in a reservoir subtropical island system that was formed 65 years ago.

Introduction Climate change has many pervasive effects on global biodiversity, including range shifts (Chen et al. 2011, Lenoir et al. 2020, Freeman et al. 2021), changes in phenology (Thackeray et al. 2016, Piao et al. 2019, Youngflesh et al. 2023), and reductions in population vital rates (Stouffer et al. 2020, Neate-Clegg et al. 2021a).
