In a classic study, Huffaker demonstrated that abiotic forms of spatial heterogeneity could induce stability in predator-prey interactions. Recent theories suggest that space can also act to destabilize predator-prey systems and that stabil...
Simulated climate change increases larval mortality, alters phenology, and affects flight morphology of a dragonfly [0.03%]

For organisms with complex life cycles, climate change can have both direct effects and indirect effects that are mediated through plastic responses to temperature and that carry over beyond the developmental environment. We examined multip...
Discontinuities in soil strength contribute to destabilization of nutrient-enriched creeks [0.03%]

In a whole-ecosystem, nutrient addition experiment in the Plum Island Sound Estuary (Massachusetts), we tested the effects of nitrogen enrichment on the carbon and nitrogen contents, respiration, and strength of marsh soils. We measured soi...
Mycorrhiza in tree diversity-ecosystem function relationships: conceptual framework and experimental implementation [0.03%]
菌根在树木多样性-生态系统功能关系中的作用：概念框架和实验实现

The widely observed positive relationship between plant diversity and ecosystem functioning is thought to be substantially driven by complementary resource use of plant species. Recent work suggests that biotic interactions among plants and...
Parasite richness and abundance within aquatic macroinvertebrates: testing the roles of host- and habitat-level factors [0.03%]
宿主和生境因素对水生大型底栖无脊椎动物寄生虫丰富度和丰度的影响

The importance of parasites as both members of biological communities and as structuring agents of host communities has been increasingly emphasized. Yet parasites of aquatic macroinvertebrates and the environmental factors regulating their...
Model application niche analysis: Assessing the transferability and generalizability of ecological models [0.03%]
模型应用领域分析：评估生态模型的可转移性和普适性
J B Moon,T H DeWitt,M N Errend et al.
J B Moon et al.
The use of models by ecologists and environmental managers, to inform environmental management and decision-making, has grown exponentially in the past 50 years. Due to logistical, economical, and theoretical benefits, model users frequentl...
A framework to quantify the strength of ecological links between an environmental stressor and final ecosystem services [0.03%]
一种量化环境压力与最终生态系统服务间生态联系强度的框架
Michael D Bell,Jennifer Phelan,Tamara F Blett et al.
Michael D Bell et al.
Anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, increased fire frequency, and pollution drive shifts in ecosystem function and resilience. Scientists generally rely on biological indicators of these stressors to signal that ecosystem condit...
Spatiotemporal modeling of ecological and sociological predictors of West Nile virus in Suffolk County, NY, mosquitoes [0.03%]

Suffolk County, New York, is a locus for West Nile virus (WNV) infection in the American northeast that includes the majority of Long Island to the east of New York City. The county has a system of light and gravid traps used for mosquito c...
Simulated juvenile salmon growth and phenology respond to altered thermal regimes and stream network shape [0.03%]
模拟的幼鲑生长和物候变化对温度制度和溪流网络形状变化产生响应
Aimee H Fullerton,Brian J Burke,Joshua J Lawler et al.
Aimee H Fullerton et al.
It is generally accepted that climate change will stress coldwater species like Pacific salmon. However, it is unclear what aspect of altered thermal regimes (e.g., warmer winters, springs, summers, or increased variability) will have the g...
Zebra migration strategies and anthrax in Etosha National Park, Namibia [0.03%]
