The findings also highlight a framework that can be used to spatially match social and
ecological data which could help with conservation efforts for other similar small to medium sized carnivores in other parts of the world.
A combination of genetic, anatomical, and
ecological data convinced researchers that Pongo tapanuliensis, named for the Tapanuli districts where it is found, is distinct from the two accepted species of orangutan.
This frontier research needs to be furthered by conducting surveys and excavations in various environmental zones of Arabia in order to
recover ecological data and information on hominin population history and changing adaptive behaviours.
To address this uncertainty, the science, education, computing and engineering communities provided input to NEON's design, with the shared goal of creating a long - term ecological observatory that collects and provides a diverse suite of comparable and
consistent ecological data at multiple spatial and temporal scales.
Over the next 30 years, these sites will collect hundreds of terabytes of
ecological data annually to help understand the impacts of climate change, land - use change and invasive species on natural resources and biodiversity.

Here we provide a global - scale perspective, using climate model projections (S1 Table) and available socioeconomic and
ecological data (S2 Table), to assess how projected climate change will affect the suitability of the planet for plant growth and evaluate potential implications of these changes for ecosystems and people.
