Janus is the Roman god of transitions. In many environments, state transitions are an important part of our understanding of ecological change. These transitions are controlled by the interactions between exogenous forcing factors and stabi...

Although plant-soil feedbacks (interactions between plants and soils, often mediated by soil microbes, abbreviated as PSFs) are widely known to influence patterns of plant diversity at local and landscape scales, these interactions are rare...

Interactions between plants and the soil are an important ecological process in terrestrial ecosystems as they affect plant community structure: when and where we find different plant species. Those interactions are typically thought of as ...

Source-sink patch dynamics occur when movement from sources stabilizes sinks by compensating for low local vital rates. The mechanisms underlying source-sink dynamics may be complicated in species that undergo transitions between discrete l...

The center-periphery hypothesis predicts a decline in population performance toward the periphery of a species' range, reflecting an alteration of environmental conditions at range periphery. However, the rare demographic tests of this hypo...
The timing of heat waves has multiyear effects on milkweed and its insect community [0.03%]
高温事件的发生时间对燕乳菊及其昆虫群落有多年的效应

Extreme heat events are becoming more frequent and intense as climate variability increases, and these events inherently vary in their timing. We predicted that the timing of a heat wave would determine its consequences for insect communiti...
Resident species, not immigrants, drive reorganization of estuarine fish assemblages in response to warming [0.03%]

Climate change is reshaping biological communities, as species track environmental temperature. Assemblage reorganization is underpinned by shifts in species abundance and distribution, but studies often focus on documenting compositional t...
A direct comparison of ecological theories for predicting the relationship between plant traits and growth [0.03%]

Despite long-standing theory for classifying plant ecological strategies, limited data directly link organismal traits to whole-plant growth rates (GRs). We compared trait-growth relationships based on three prominent theories: growth analy...
