🌱 Managing #invasivespecies requires balance: too much regulation fuels conflict, too little fuels spread. Using guava as a model in South Africa, this study shows how spatially tuned #SDMs can guide proportional regulation, reducing unnecessary restrictions. 🌐

🌿 How do #geography, #ecology & #history shape #geneticdiversity?
Across four Rhodiola species, this study tests the Centre-Periphery Hypothesis, showing diversity declines toward species’ margins, shaped by ecological and historical factors. 🧬

🐟 Using #SDMs, researchers mapped how #bulltrout in Northern Canada might respond to #climatewarming. If they can’t adapt, suitable habitat may shrink by up to 46% — but with niche expansion, driven by local #adaptation, it could grow instead. 🗺️
