DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2020.106564
Abstract: Abstract The relationship between plants and phytogenic hillocks in arid ecosystems is receiving increasing attention. Although ecologists have explored the microsystem relationship between plant ecological strategies and phytogenic hillocks, the explanation is still ambiguous due… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.funeco.2019.100902
Abstract: Abstract High-throughput sequencing (e.g., amplicon and shotgun) has provided new insight into the diversity and distribution of fungi around the globe, but developing a framework to understand this diversity has proved challenging. Here we review… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-019-11757-x
Abstract: The ecological contexts that promote larger brains have received considerable attention, but those that result in smaller-than-expected brains have been largely overlooked. Here, we use a global sample of 2062 species to provide evidence that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-52846-7
Abstract: Microbes in subsurface coal seams are responsible for the conversion of the organic matter in coal to methane, resulting in vast reserves of coal seam gas. This process is important from both environmental and economic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2008540117
Abstract: Significance Many organisms, including bacteria, live in fluctuating environments that require attachment and dispersal. These lifestyle decisions require processing of multiple external signals by several genetic pathways, but how they are integrated is largely unknown.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/molbev/msac117
Abstract: Abstract Ecological differentiation among diverging species is an important component of the evolutionary process and can be investigated in rapid and recent radiations. Here, we use whole genome sequences of five species from the genus… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2435.14135
Abstract: Abstract Current global challenges call for a rigorously predictive ecology. Our understanding of ecological strategies, imputed through suites of measurable functional traits, comes from decades of work that largely focussed on plants. However, a key… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/life12101516
Abstract: Environments can be in states of dynamic change as well as persistent stability. These different states are a result of outside external conditions, but also the constant flux of living organisms in that ecological fauna.… read more here.
