As climate change accelerates, understanding which species are most vulnerable and why they are vulnerable will be vital to inform conservation action. Climate change vulnerability assessments (CCVAs) are tools to assess species' responses to climate change, detect drivers of vulnerability, and inform conservation planning. CCVAs are commonly composed of three elements: exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity. Incorporating all three elements can be challenging, and including only two of the three elements may be a more feasible approach in many systems. Although two-element CCVA approaches have become more common, their utility and procedures remain poorly documented. We conducted a literature review to explore...

Climate change and invasive species alter freshwater fish assemblages globally, which could impact ecosystem services that benefit communities. The Caribbean island of Puerto Rico is an ideal system to study the effects of extreme events on native freshwater fishes in the presence of invasive fish species. Puerto Rico like other tropical islands is characterized by frequent flow disturbance; however, climate projections show that Puerto Rico will experience increased drying but also more intense flooding in the coming decades. We evaluated how extreme high and low flows affect native and non-native fishes and experimentally tested the interaction between a non-native fish and low and high flows on a native fish...
