DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1280
Abstract: PREMISE Water deficit and drought conditions are increasing in intensity, frequency, and duration in the Iberian Peninsula. We observed natural variation in leaf traits across the range of Quercus suber L. (cork oak), an ecologically… read more here.

Seasonal comparison of the neuromuscular junction morphology of Bufo marinus
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Journal of Comparative Neurology"
DOI: 10.1002/cne.24661
Abstract: At mammalian neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), prolonged inactivity leads to muscle denervation and atrophy. By contrast, amphibian NMJs do not show such degeneration even though they can remain in a state of drought‐imposed dormancy (hibernation) for… read more here.

Lianas have a seasonal growth advantage over co-occurring trees.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2655
Abstract: The seasonal growth advantage hypothesis posits that plant species that grow well during seasonal drought will increase in abundance in forests with increasing seasonality of rainfall both in absolute numbers and also relative to co-occurring… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-019-04973-0
Abstract: The biannual seasonal rainfall regime over the southern part of West Africa is characterised by two wet seasons, separated by the ‘Little Dry Season’ in July–August. Lower rainfall totals during this intervening dry season may… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04802-w
Abstract: Apex predators play important roles in ecosystem functioning and, where they coexist, intraguild interactions can have profound effects on trophic relationships. Interactions between predators range from intraguild predation and competition to facilitation through scavenging opportunities.… read more here.

Estimation of potential area of preparatory irrigation for rainy season lowland rice and supplemental irrigation for dry season cropping using existing reservoirs constructed for aquaculture: a case study in semi-mountainous village, Lao PDR
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Paddy and Water Environment"
DOI: 10.1007/s10333-018-00685-z
Abstract: The rural area in Lao PDR has a low yield of rainy season lowland rice, and most rice fields are not utilized for crop cultivation during the dry season. Delay in transplanting owing to late… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02010-9
Abstract: Despite substantial investment in prescribed burning for biodiversity conservation there has been surprisingly little demonstration of its efficacy in achieving intended conservation aims for fauna. In the case of northern Australia’s threatened mammal fauna, most… read more here.

The influence of crab burrows on sediment salinity in a Rhizophora-dominated mangrove forest in North Brazil during the dry season
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Hydrobiologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s10750-017-3282-4
Abstract: Many ecological processes are influenced by salinity. Burrowing crabs, abundant fauna of mangrove forests around the world, can facilitate sediment water fluxes, which may decrease the salinity in mangrove sediments. We investigated whether and how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11104-021-04878-0
Abstract: Cover crop species selection for soybean (Glycine max) production under no-tillage (NT) management may affect soil organic C sequestration by altering the quantity and quality of C inputs, thereby affecting cropping system sustainability. If so,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11252-020-00926-2
Abstract: The water relations of riparian trees are often closely tied to stream hydrology and channel morphology, which can be altered by urban development. In regions with limited precipitation, urban water use can generate or augment… read more here.
