Latitudinal variation in biotic interactions has long been hypothesized to shape plant trait evolution, with stronger herbivory at lower latitudes predicted to drive increased plant defenses. Yet, recent studies reveal inconsistent patterns...

Prospecting for a future breeding site is an essential component of informed natal and breeding dispersal. It allows individuals to reduce the uncertainty of their environment by gathering personal and social information about the local qua...
Functional properties improve predictions of long-term productivity invariability but not resistance to drought [0.03%]

Identifying the factors mediating the resilience and invariability of plant communities and their associated ecosystem functions is critical to understand the ecological impacts of climate change. Prior work has explored how classic "commun...
Latitudinal variation in seasonal cycle mediates population differences in barnacle reproduction phenology [0.03%]
季节周期的纬度变化调节藤壶繁殖节律的种群差异

The timing of life history events around reproduction and early development is critical in population dynamics, and it can determine recruitment success, species dispersal, and population connectivity. In ectotherms, as well as in plants an...
