Individual variation among and within natural populations can have eco-evolutionary implications by, for example, affecting species interactions or evolutionary potential. Urban systems present a unique opportunity to evaluate how environme...

Theoretical models suggest that the mean time to extinction scales with habitat size through either exponential or power law relationships, depending on demographic and environmental stochasticity. Despite extensive theoretical work, empiri...
Does Evenness Even Exist? [0.03%]
偶性存在吗？

The idea that diversity is a combination of species richness and the so-called "evenness" of count distributions is a bedrock concept in ecology. Researchers often compute stand-alone evenness indices. They also examine Hill numbers related...
Warmer Is Deadlier: A Meta-Analysis Reveals Increasing Temperatures Accentuate Disease Effects on Fisheries Hosts [0.03%]
变暖加剧：元分析表明，升温会加重疾病对渔业宿主的影响

Rapid warming could drastically alter host-parasite relationships, which is especially important for fisheries crucial to human nutrition and economic livelihoods, yet we lack a synthetic understanding of how warming influences parasite-ind...
Plant Elemental Homeostasis Enhances Species Performance and Community Functioning in Wetlands: Looking Beyond Nitrogen and Phosphorus [0.03%]
植物元素平衡增强湿地物种性能和群落功能——超越氮磷视角

Understanding how species optimise and stabilise their elementome, namely stoichiometric homeostasis (H), is crucial for species adaptation in changing environments. Species can be stoichiometrically homeostatic to different degrees, and el...
Responses of Subsoil Organic Carbon to Climate Warming and Cooling Is Determined by Microbial Community Rather Than Its Molecular Composition [0.03%]
土壤有机碳对变暖和冷却的响应取决于微生物群落而不是分子组成

Little is currently known about how long-term climate changes modulate the relationship between soil organic carbon (SOC) molecular composition, microbial community and SOC storage and the mechanisms involved. Here, we show substantial chan...

Distinct biological communities have high conservation value because they harbour species that cannot be preserved elsewhere. However, community uniqueness is scale-dependent: irreplaceability depends on whether community dissimilarity emer...

Natural history data are essential for understanding species' ecological roles, supporting applied research and guiding conservation efforts. However, significant gaps in ecological knowledge limit our understanding, requiring complementary...

Fungus-animal symbioses have evolved countless times across the tree of life. While the stability of these mutualistic or parasitic interkingdom interactions often depends on optimised nutrient exchange, we lack a framework to explore wheth...

Global change is complex and multidimensional, making it challenging to understand how human activities affect ecosystem processes. A critical gap in this understanding is how drivers of global change broadly affect food webs. While an indu...
