Biomass allocation and seasonal non-structural carbohydrate dynamics do not explain the success of tall forbs in short alpine grassland [0.03%]
生物量分配和季节性非结构性碳水化合物动力学并不能解释高山草甸中高大草本植物的成功故事

The majority of alpine plants are of small stature. Through their small size alpine plants are decoupled from the free atmospheric circulation and accumulate solar heat. However, a few alpine species do not follow that "rule" and protrude w...
Seagrass-driven changes in carbonate chemistry enhance oyster shell growth [0.03%]

Quantifying the strength of non-trophic interactions exerted by foundation species is critical to understanding how natural communities respond to environmental stress. In the case of ocean acidification (OA), submerged marine macrophytes, ...
Species interactions alter the selection of thermal environment in a coral reef fish [0.03%]

Increasing ocean temperatures and the resulting poleward range shifts of species has highlighted the importance of a species preferred temperature and thermal range in shaping ecological communities. Understanding the temperatures preferred...

Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are often involved in fundamental ecological processes such as plant succession and species coexistence. After a plant initiating PSFs dies, legacies of PSFs occurring as soil signatures that influence subsequent...
Traits, strategies, and niches of liana species in a tropical seasonal rainforest [0.03%]
热带季雨林藤本植物的性状、策略和生态位分布特征
Qi Liu,Frank J Sterck,Jiao-Lin Zhang et al.
Qi Liu et al.
Plant functional traits and strategies hold the promise to explain species distribution, but few studies have linked multiple traits to multiple niche dimensions (i.e., light, water, and nutrients). Here, we analyzed for 29 liana species in...

A central goal of population ecology is to establish linkages between life history strategy, disturbance, and population dynamics. Globally, disturbance events such as drought and invasive species have dramatically impacted stream fish popu...
Local flexibility in feeding behaviour and contrasting microhabitat use of an omnivore across latitudes [0.03%]
广布杂食动物的摄食行为地域灵活性及其栖息地利用的纬度变化规律
Jean-Charles Leclerc,Thibaut de Bettignies,Florian de Bettignies et al.
Jean-Charles Leclerc et al.
As the environment is getting warmer and species are redistributed, consumers can be forced to adjust their interactions with available prey, and this could have cascading effects within food webs. To better understand the capacity for fora...
Partitioning resilience of a marine foundation species into resistance and recovery trajectories [0.03%]
将海洋基础种的恢复力分解为抵抗力和恢复力两种轨迹
Fernando Tuya,Yolanda Fernández-Torquemada,Yoana Del Pilar-Ruso et al.
Fernando Tuya et al.
The resilience of an ecological unit encompasses resistance during adverse conditions and the capacity to recover. We adopted a 'resistance-recovery' framework to experimentally partition the resilience of a foundation species (the seagrass...
Dew water-uptake pathways in Negev desert plants: a study using stable isotope tracers [0.03%]
稳定同位素示踪法研究内盖夫沙漠植物的露水吸收途径
Amber J Hill,Todd E Dawson,Avraham Dody et al.
Amber J Hill et al.
Dew is an important water resource for plants in most deserts. The mechanism that allows desert plants to use dew water was studied using an isotopic water tracer approach. Most plants use water directly from the soil; the roots transfer th...
Parasites and their freshwater snail hosts maintain their nutritional value for essential fatty acids despite altered algal diets [0.03%]
寄生虫及其淡水螺类宿主维持必需脂肪酸的营养价值不受藻类饮食改变的影响

Dara Babaran et al.
Despite their ubiquity and considerable biomass, the roles played by parasites in aquatic food webs are still not well understood, especially those of their free-living infectious stages. For instance, cercariae, the motile larvae of parasi...
