How alien plant species integrate into local native communities remains a widely debated but largely unresolved question. For 12,460 plant communities from six different habitats, we show that naturalized non-invasive species integrate near...

Modelling has become a routine part of ecological and evolutionary research, yet its practice often lacks a clear conceptual framework. I propose that modelling can be fruitfully understood as experimentation. Like empirical studies, modell...
Non-Native Plants Attain Native Levels of Microherbivory Richness With Time and Range Expansion [0.03%]
非本地植物在时间和分布范围扩增的过程中达到本地微食草动物多样化的水平

Non-native plants are often seen as peripheral to trophic networks due to a lack of co-evolution with local biota, but the factors shaping their integration remain poorly understood. Using a continent-wide dataset of 127,000 plant-microherb...
Six Decades of Losses and Gains in Alpha Diversity of European Plant Communities [0.03%]

Biodiversity change forecasts rely on long-term time series, but such data are often scarce in space and time. Here, we interpolated spatiotemporal changes in species richness using a new method based on machine learning that does not requi...

The microbiome inhabiting the surface of leaves is essential for supporting forest health and productivity. Yet, the relevance of host selection and neighbourhood conditions in supporting phyllosphere microbial diversity remains poorly unde...

Understanding variation in home range size (HR) provides important insights into the underlying ecological processes driving space use. However, it remains unclear whether the interspecific allometric scaling of mammals' HR can also be cons...
The Equilibrium Conundrum [0.03%]
平衡之谜

Tess N Grainger et al.
The idea that natural systems tend to be at equilibrium dates back to the origin of the field of ecology and continues to underlie most ecological theory. However, empirical evidence for equilibrium dynamics in nature and in experiments is ...
Sequential Thresholds Shape Drylands' Multitrophic Response to Aridification [0.03%]
干旱化下干地区域多营养级序列阈值响应机制

Jon Morant et al.
Drylands, supporting significant global biodiversity, exhibit abrupt, non-linear responses to increasing aridity with drastic declines after threshold crossing. While plant and soil responses are documented, impacts on other organisms remai...
Ecological Memory Contributes to a Spatial Mismatch in Water Quality Trends Between the Surface and Bottom Waters of 382 Temperate Lakes [0.03%]
生态记忆导致温带湖泊表面和底栖水质趋势的时空错配现象

Ecosystem states are often influenced by both concurrent and antecedent environmental drivers. However, the relative importance of antecedent conditions varies within and among ecosystems. Here, we analysed long-term depth-profile data from...
Calibrated Ecosystem Models Cannot Predict the Consequences of Conservation Management Decisions-Clarification [0.03%]
生态系统的模型无法预测保护管理的后果——澄清观点

Woodstock and Harris raise concerns about generalisations in our paper 'Calibrated Ecosystem Models Cannot Predict the Consequences of Conservation Management Decisions'. They implied that our conclusions are invalidated by the exclusion of...
