Our House Is Burning: Discrepancy in Climate Change vs. Biodiversity Coverage in the Media as Compared to Scientific Literature
Pierre Legagneux,Nicolas Casajus,Kevin Cazelles,Clément Chevallier,Marion Chevrinais,Loreleï Guéry,Claire Jacquet,Claire Jacquet,Mikaël Jaffré,Marie-José Naud,Fanny Noisette,Pascale Ropars,Pascale Ropars,Steve Vissault,Philippe Archambault,Joël Bêty,Dominique Berteaux,Dominique Gravel +17 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparative study of scientific literature and press articles addressing climate change and biodiversity is presented, finding that media coverage of climate change was up to eight times higher compared to biodiversity.
Extinction debt and colonization credit delay range shifts of eastern North American trees
TL;DR: The authors show that dominant tree species in North America are out of equilibrium with climate, with range contraction outpacing expansion, and that trees are likely to show lagged responses to climate change because they are sessile and longlived.

Changes in phytoplankton bloom phenology over the North Water (NOW) polynya: a response to changing environmental conditions
Christian Marchese,Camille Albouy,Camille Albouy,Jean-Éric Tremblay,Dany Dumont,Fabrizio D'Ortenzio,Steve Vissault,Simon Bélanger +7 more
TL;DR: The outcomes depict the NOW as a climate-sensitive region in which the pelagic marine ecosystem seems to be going toward a decline in chlorophyll-a concentrations, and should these changes persist, the NOW may no longer act as a productive regional oasis supporting thriving populations of zooplankton and top predators.

Moderate disturbances accelerate forest transition dynamics under climate change in the temperate-boreal ecotone of eastern North America
Marie-Hélène Brice,Marie-Hélène Brice,Steve Vissault,Steve Vissault,Willian Vieira,Willian Vieira,Dominique Gravel,Dominique Gravel,Pierre Legendre,Pierre Legendre,Marie-Josée Fortin +10 more
TL;DR: Overall, the results suggest that moderate disturbances could catalyse rapid forest transitions and accelerate broad-scale biome shifts.

Four decades of plant community change along a continental gradient of warming.
TL;DR: By testing a priori predictions concerning variation among parks in the direction and magnitude of vegetation changes, this study has provided stronger evidence for a link between climate warming and biotic responses than otherwise possible and provided a potential explanation for large variation among studies in warming-related biotic changes.
