From foraging to decomposition: Large vertebrates as biotic drivers of trace element cycling across landscapes [0.03%]
从觅食到分解：大型脊椎动物作为景观中微量元素循环的生物驱动因素

Animals play an important role in elemental cycles that underpin ecosystem functioning through their foraging, movement and waste excretion. Yet animals also play a distinct but often overlooked role in the cycling of trace elements by inco...
Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors [0.03%]
两个新热带地区生物多样性热点生态过渡带中的蝙蝠群落组建是环境筛选而非历史因素决定的

Ecotones between major biomes represent strong ecological gradients and offer valuable opportunities to investigate the processes structuring biological communities. The ecotone between the Cerrado and the Atlantic Forest is one of the most...
The consequences of host heterogeneity for parasite transmission depend on how host infectiousness is determined [0.03%]
宿主异质性对寄生虫传播的影响取决于宿主传染性的确定方式

Jacob A Cohen et al.
Host heterogeneities in susceptibility and infectiousness can affect parasite transmission, but standard analyses typically consider a limited range of epidemiological scenarios. We propose two contrasting phenomenological scenarios that ca...
Functional traits explain responses of Appalachian birds to vertical and horizontal forest structure [0.03%]
功能特征解释了阿巴拉契亚鸟类对垂直和水平森林结构的反应

Trevor Roberts et al.
Species interact with habitat based on their functional traits, but it is unclear how specific traits interact with the multiple components of habitat structure. To address this knowledge gap for forest-dwelling bird communities, we leverag...

Dispersal is a critical ecological and evolutionary process, yet the drivers of individual variation in emigration, particularly under human-modified conditions, remain relatively understudied. We investigate the determinants and patterns o...
Marine zooplankton contribute differentially to community synchrony across a 37-year time series [0.03%]
长达37年的时间序列中海洋浮游动物对群落同步性的贡献不同
Tad A Dallas,Lauren Holian,Anthony Pignatelli et al.
Tad A Dallas et al.
Community synchrony-the tendency for species within a community to fluctuate similarly to other species-is tied to environmental variability through the responses of species in the community to environmental drivers. If species respond simi...
Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter [0.03%]
生态尺度介导了动物排泄物与溶解有机物之间非线性关系
Sandra Klemet-N&#x;Guessan,Marina Taskovic,Nolan J T Pearce et al.
Sandra Klemet-N&#x;Guessan et al.
Ecosystems can exhibit nonlinear dynamics resulting from interactions and feedbacks across various ecological scales. For example, large-scale nutrient cycling incorporates small-scale biogeochemical processes that may vary locally. However...
Fine-scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape [0.03%]

Urban environments impose novel selective pressures that can drive rapid phenotypic and genetic change in wild populations. While previous studies have focused on broad urban-rural contrasts or cross-city comparisons, less is known about ho...
Predicting disease spread from host movement data: Chronic wasting disease in North America as a case study [0.03%]
基于宿主移动数据预测疾病传播——以北美慢性消耗病为例研究
Paul C Cross,Blake Lowrey,Matthew Kauffman et al.
Paul C Cross et al.
Rare long-distance movements can increase the spatial spread of invasive species and shifts in species ranges. For wildlife disease spread, however, seasonal migrations may only matter if they lead to transmission to individuals using diffe...
Comparisons of wild and domestic ungulate zoogeochemical impacts rarely evaluate mechanisms underlying functional dissimilarity [0.03%]
很少有研究评估野生动物和家养有蹄类动物的生态化学影响机制及其功能差异性方面的内容

Ungulates play vital roles in ecological systems, shaping plant biomass and diversity via herbivory and impacting soil properties through zoogeochemical cycling. As ungulate communities fluctuate worldwide, the extent to which wild ungulate...
