Extensive regional variation in the phenology of insects and their response to temperature across North America [0.03%]
北美的昆虫物候及其对温度的响应存在广泛的区域差异
Peter O Dunn,Insiyaa Ahmed,Elise Armstrong et al.
Peter O Dunn et al.
Climate change models often assume similar responses to temperatures across the range of a species, but local adaptation or phenotypic plasticity can lead plants and animals to respond differently to temperature in different parts of their ...
Landscape experiments unlock relationships among habitat loss, fragmentation, and patch-size effects [0.03%]
生境丧失、破碎化及其斑块效应之间的关系的景观实验分析
Robert J Fletcher Jr,Thomas A H Smith,Nicholas Kortessis et al.
Robert J Fletcher Jr et al.
Habitat loss is often considered the greatest near-term threat to biodiversity, while the impact of habitat fragmentation remains intensely debated. A key issue of this debate centers on the problem of scale-landscape or patch-at which to a...
The role of prey and predator identity in eliciting inducible defenses of Daphnia [0.03%]
猎物和捕食者身份在水蚤诱导防御中的作用
Lei Gu,Luc De Meester,Zhou Yang

Predators can modify population and community dynamics not only through direct predation, but also through nonconsumptive effects. Predator-induced changes in the traits of prey species are important components of these nonconsumptive effec...
A keystone avian predator faces elevated energy expenditure in a warming Arctic [0.03%]
北极增温对顶级鸟类捕食者造成的高能耗威胁
Melissa L Grunst,Andrea S Grunst,David Grémillet et al.
Melissa L Grunst et al.
Climate change is transforming bioenergetic landscapes, challenging behavioral and physiological coping mechanisms. A critical question involves whether animals can adjust behavioral patterns and energy expenditure to stabilize fitness give...
Herbivores disrupt the flow of food resources to termites in dryland ecosystems [0.03%]
食草动物打断了干燥地带生态系统的植食性食物流向白蚁的通道

Baptiste J Wijas
Irruption of herbivore populations due to the extirpation of predators has led to dramatic changes in ecosystem functioning worldwide. Herbivores compete with other species for their primary source of nutrition, plant biomass. Such competit...
Fruit secondary metabolites alter the quantity and quality of a seed dispersal mutualism [0.03%]
果实次生代谢产物改变了种子传播互惠的数量和质量
Annika S Nelson,Mariana Gelambi,Estefania Morales-M et al.
Annika S Nelson et al.
Plant secondary metabolites are key mechanistic drivers of species interactions. These metabolites have primarily been studied for their role in defense, but they can also have important consequences for mutualisms, including seed dispersal...
Annual biomass spatial data for southern California (2001-2021): Above- and belowground, standing dead, and litter [0.03%]

Time course of inducibility of indirect responses in an ant-defended plant [0.03%]
一种蚂蚁防御植物中诱导间接反应的时间进程
Eduardo Soares Calixto,Kleber Del-Claro,Denise Lange et al.
Eduardo Soares Calixto et al.
Plants have evolved inducible defenses that allow them to minimize costs associated with the production of constitutive defenses when herbivores are not present. However, as a consequence, some plants might experience a period of vulnerabil...
Canopy height, rather than neighborhood effects, shapes leaf herbivory in a tropical rainforest [0.03%]
冠层高度而不是邻域效应决定热带雨林叶片的取食痕迹数量
Shuang Zhang,Guo-Rui Xu,Yu-Xin Zhang et al.
Shuang Zhang et al.
Factors shaping the interspecific variations in herbivory have puzzled ecologists for decades and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain interspecific variation in leaf herbivory. In a tropical rainforest in Yunnan Province, China...
