DOI: 10.1002/ece3.3252
Abstract: Abstract Plant species distributed along wide elevational or latitudinal gradients show phenotypic variation due to their heterogeneous habitats. This study investigated whether phenotypic variation in populations of the Solidago virgaurea complex along an elevational gradient… read more here.

Molecular and ecological plant defense responses along an elevational gradient in a boreal ecosystem

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6074
Abstract: Abstract Plants have the capacity to alter their phenotype in response to environmental factors, such as herbivory, a phenomenon called phenotypic plasticity. However, little is known on how plant responses to herbivory are modulated by… read more here.

Determinants of departure to natal dispersal across an elevational gradient in a long‐lived raptor species
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9603
Abstract: Abstract Attributes of natal habitat often affect early stages of natal dispersal. Thus, environmental gradients at mountain slopes are expected to result in gradients of dispersal behavior and to drive elevational differences in dispersal distances… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s42690-020-00240-6
Abstract: Termites are dominant invertebrates in tropical environments and are important intermediate species of decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems. The study aimed to characterize how termite richness and feeding group diversity vary along an elevational gradient in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.actatropica.2018.04.001
Abstract: Vector ecology is a key factor in understanding the transmission of disease agents, with each species having an optimal range of environmental requirements. Scarce data, however, are available for how interactions of local and broad-scale… read more here.

DOI: 10.1017/s0031182020002024
Abstract: Abstract The causal chain of parasite–host–environment interactions, the so-called ‘dual parasite environment’, makes studying parasites more complicated than other wild organisms. A sample of 65 282 fleas taken from 336 different locations were analysed for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-06282-0
Abstract: Heterotrophic bacteria are thought to be phosphorus-rich organisms with relatively homeostatic stoichiometry, but the elemental composition of natural bacterial communities has rarely been assessed. Here we tested whether bacterial stoichiometry changes with the trophic status… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-53409-6
Abstract: Climate change forces many species to move their ranges to higher latitudes or elevations. Resulting immigration or emigration of species might lead to functional changes, e.g., in the trait distribution and composition of ecological assemblages.… read more here.
