Behavioural responses are often the first reaction of an organism to human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC), yet current empirical evidence ......
Climate change affects means, variances and the intrinsic predictability of the climate. However, experimental tests of how changes in intrinsic clima......
Sphagnum mosses are key to northern peatland carbon sequestration. They have a range of morphological and anatomical characteristics that allow them t......
Climate change has strong effects on biodiversity. It causes shifts in the species' geographical range, towards other latitudes or elevations, while t......
Soil depth may affect plant diversity in two apparently opposing manners: on the one hand, deeper soil may increase the available space for below-grou......
Drought is an important stressor that affects plant growth, survival and physiology and, through plant responses, alters plant-herbivore interactions ......
Temperature plays an important role in determining the breeding phenology of birds in temperate climates, with higher spring temperatures associated w......
The outcomes of interspecific and intraspecific ecological interactions can be considered to fall along continua from cooperative (mutually beneficial......
Modelling seed dispersal by animals seems straightforward; we need a way to keep track of the position on the animal through time and a clock for how ......
Rainfall and biocrusts are important sources of temporal and spatial environmental heterogeneity and niche differentiation for annual plants, a major ......
Due to the widespread use of pesticides and the lack of floral resources in many agricultural landscapes, beekeepers have moved numerous honey bee col......
Decreased and increased intrinsic growth rate and abundance of a single species can severely and negatively impact other species in the same food web.......
Recruitment and dispersal are important demographic rates and studying their determinants is particularly important in the current context of global a......
Long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids are biologically important lipids that are unevenly distributed between and throughout environments. This heter......
Biological invasions are globally affecting ecosystems, causing local species loss and altering ecosystem functioning. Understanding how such biologic......
