The accelerated rate of disease emergence in recent decades underscores the need to understand conditions that promote or dampen epidemics. Theoretical models consistently show that epidemics are smaller in populations with higher among-ind...

Kelp forests are declining in many regions due to ocean warming, predator loss, and other anthropogenic stressors. In areas of rapid ocean warming, including the southern Gulf of Maine, these ecosystems have transitioned to a novel state do...

Determining how the thermal tolerances of species are related to climatic conditions at multiple spatial scales can improve our understanding of species distributions and their vulnerability to climate change. We compare the warming toleran...

Zygomorphy (bilateral symmetry) is a form of floral specialization that is thought to restrict pollination to fewer visitors, enhancing the effectiveness and precision of pollen transfer between conspecific flowers. In this way, zygomorphy ...

Phylogeny offers a powerful framework for understanding mechanisms driving community assembly. Yet, most empirical studies in community phylogenetics rely on observational approaches. In this study, we explore how two important drivers of c...

Warming-driven shifts in floral traits generate flower-pollinator size mismatch and decrease reproductive output [0.03%]
气候变暖导致的花性状变化引起传粉错配并降低植物产量

Plant-pollinator interactions are essential for maintaining pollination services but may be sensitive to disruption from climate change. Higher temperatures can reduce flower size, nectar availability, and other floral traits, and shorten p...
Stochastic colonization, transient and boom-bust dynamics shape invasions by native taxa [0.03%]
入侵由本地类群建立，受到随机定殖、暂时性及繁荣-衰落动态的影响

Boom-bust dynamics (BBD) is a population dynamic pattern described in invasion ecology, where a population suddenly increases (boom) before quickly declining (bust), eventually stabilizing at much lower levels. This initial outbreak is cons...
Direct and indirect effects of disturbance on net primary production in giant kelp forests [0.03%]

Disturbances can strongly impact the biomass, abundance, and size and age structure of plant populations, with cascading consequences for net primary production (NPP). Studies investigating sources of interannual variation in annual NPP hav...
