Fission-Fusion Group Dynamics and Cooperative Hunting Stabilise Social Carnivore Populations [0.03%]
裂变-聚变群体动态和合作狩猎稳定社会性食肉动物种群大小

J M Fryxell et al.
Theory suggests that large social groups of carnivores should be unsustainable, due to reduced foraging efficiency because of overlapping perception radii. Using Serengeti lions as a case study, we apply behaviourally based foraging models ...
Ecological Niche Structure and the Interactive Role of Leaf-Nosed Bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae) Within Frugivory Networks: Another Dimension of the Niche Centroid Hypothesis [0.03%]
叶鼻蝠（食果网络中的翼手目：枪齿蝙属）的生态位结构及其互动作用：生态位中心假设的另一维度

Alejandro R Villa et al.
Numerous studie have explored the factors shaping species' roles within ecological networks, but little is known about how these roles vary across communities. Climatic niche suitability has been proposed as a key driver of this variation, ...
Remote-Control Science in Ecology: A Hidden Face of Scientific Neocolonialism [0.03%]
生态学遥控科学：科学新殖民主义的另一副面孔

Borealisation of Plant Communities in the Arctic Is Driven by Boreal-Tundra Species [0.03%]
苔原植物群落的北方化转型由阔叶木本灌丛主导

Mariana García Criado et al.
Following rapid climate change, tundra plant communities are experiencing extensive compositional shifts. A conservation concern is the potential encroachment of boreal species into the tundra ('borealisation'). Tundra borealisation has bee...
Positive Density Dependence Promotes Host Persistence in the Face of Infectious Disease [0.03%]
感染性疾病背景下促进宿主 persists的正密度依赖性

Sociality offers benefits to species that can enhance their fitness. However, pathogen transmission can be higher in larger groups, potentially negating the advantages of group living. Despite the important paradoxical effects of population...
Necromass of Diverse Root-Associated Fungi Suppresses Decomposition of Native Soil Carbon via Impacts of Their Traits [0.03%]
土传真菌通过性状影响抑制土壤固碳分解作用

Carrillo Yolima
We investigated the decomposition of diverse root-associated fungi, their influence on native soil carbon (C) dynamics and the relationship of these processes with fungal traits. We quantified the decomposition of 13C-labelled mycelium of 1...
