Dakota J Van Parys
Ecological niches are shaped by both abiotic conditions and biotic interactions and shifts in species composition, such as the loss of competitors or habitat availability, can trigger cascading changes in community dynamics. Emerging infect...
Above- and Belowground Traits are Linked Within Species, but Vary Differently Along Environmental Gradients [0.03%]
地上地下性状链相连但沿环境梯度变化不同
Robert Rauschkolb,Viktoria Dietrich,Barbara Knickmann et al.
Robert Rauschkolb et al.
Plant functional traits are frequently used to compare species strategies and predict functions such as growth, reproduction, or phenology. They can also quantify intraspecific variation and thereby assess species' capacity to respond to en...

The decline of large carnivores and the overabundance of livestock practices contribute significantly to ecosystem degradation. Large carnivores, through livestock depredations, can cause substantial economic damage leading to resentment am...
Non-Native Rodents Dominate Understory Frugivory in the Eastern Caribbean Islands [0.03%]
非本土啮齿动物占据东部加勒比群岛林下层食果类动物主导地位
Seokmin Kim,Fabio L Tarazona-Tubens,Maximilian G R Vollstädt et al.
Seokmin Kim et al.
Biotic invasions represent one of the leading environmental threats, with non-native mammals being particularly damaging to native biodiversity on oceanic islands. One way that such damages may occur is through the disruption of frugivory, ...
From the Ground Up: Can Root Traits Help Understand Invasion Dynamics? [0.03%]
从地面根系特性入手:根系特性有助于理解入侵机制吗?
Amoi Campbell,Jennifer L Funk,Sara Kuebbing et al.
Amoi Campbell et al.
Trait-based comparisons of invasive and native plants have advanced our understanding of invasion mechanisms, but most focus on aboveground traits, overlooking the influence of root traits. In this mini-review, we synthesize existing resear...
Higher Temperature and Host Age Alter Infection Outcomes in a Multi-Pathogen System [0.03%]
温度升高和宿主年龄改变多病原系统中的感染结果
Sarah Elizabeth Troy,Charles E Mitchell
Sarah Elizabeth Troy
The outcomes of pathogen infection can be sensitive to temperature, interactions with other pathogen species, and host age. Yet few studies have experimentally tested how warming alters infection outcomes for multiple, potentially interacti...
Unique Population or Unique Species? Genetic Insights Into the Pygmy Freshwater Crocodiles of Northern Australia [0.03%]

Katherine Brittain,Torre Muhlbach,Rui Cao et al.
Katherine Brittain et al.
Isolated populations of Australian freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni) in few elevated, rocky escarpment areas of the Northern Territory of Australia reach sexual maturity earlier and generally have an adult size half that of their...
