Article Abstract
Climate change is shifting the ranges of species. Simple predictive metrics of range shifts such as climate velocity, that do not require extensive knowledge or data on individual species, could help to guide conservation. We review research on climate velocity, describing the theory underpinning the concept and its assumptions. We highlight how climate velocity has already been applied in conservation-related research, including climate residence time, climate refugia, endemism, historic and projected range shifts, exposure to climate change, and climate connectivity. Finally, we discuss ways to enhance the use of climate velocity in conservation through tailoring it to be more biologically meaningful, informing design of protected areas, conserving ocean biodiversity in 3D, and informing conservation actions.

Tropospheric ozone (O) is a major air pollutant that negatively affects human health and vegetation, and plays a central role in climate change and atmospheric chemistry. Current simulations of tropospheric O concentrations in climate and air-quality models are significantly limited by the inaccurate representation of O dry deposition rate-particularly in urban areas, where field measurements remain scarce. We hypothesize that O dry deposition in the urban environment is controlled by factors similar to those over vegetation, albeit via potentially different mechanisms.

An explosion of recent research uses remote imaging spectroscopy from aircraft and spacecraft to detect and quantify methane point source emissions. These instruments first map the methane enhancement field and then combine this information with the effective wind speed to estimate the source emission rate. This wind speed is typically the largest uncertainty in derived emission rates.

Acoustic methods offer an effective alternative to estimate suspended particle concentrations in marine environments, particularly in hard to access areas such as tropical reef systems influenced by river discharges. The present study evaluates the ability of a moored Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) to estimate chlorophyll-a and sediment concentrations in the water column of a Protected Coral Reef System in the southwestern region of the Gulf of Mexico near the state of Veracruz (Mexico). We analyzed the correlations between the backscatter intensity signal of a 1000-kHz ADCP with particle concentrations at different depths and climatic seasons.

How do environmental cues shape the coordination rules underlying collective motion in fish shoals? This question is crucial as freshwater migratory fish are globally declining due to river fragmentation, and collective motion is known to influence the effectiveness of fish pass solutions. However, experimental data on individual interactions and the effects of solid boundaries and hydrodynamic conditions remain limited. Adopting a reductionist approach - using fish pairs as the minimal shoal's unit - we examined how mean flow velocity and boundary proximity affect interaction dynamics in a riverine species.
