DOI: 10.1007/s00227-018-3346-7
Abstract: Quantifying intraspecific variation in movement behaviour of marine predators and the underlying environmental drivers is important to inform conservation management of protected species. Here, we provide the first empirical data on fine-scale movements of free-ranging… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00227-019-3560-y
Abstract: Understanding organismal responses to environmental drivers is relevant to predict species capacities to respond to climate change. However, the scarce information available on intraspecific variation in the responses oversimplifies our view of the actual species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00248-020-01518-5
Abstract: Mediterranean forests own distinct characteristics resulting from climate, soil, and vegetation that affect soil microbial communities’ assembly and their associated functions. We initiated a multi-scalar analysis of environmental drivers of soil functioning to (1) identify… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00572-021-01058-x
Abstract: Cassava, forming starch-rich, tuberous roots, is an important staple crop in smallholder farming systems in sub-Saharan Africa. Its relatively good tolerance to drought and nutrient-poor soils may be partly attributed to the crop’s association with… read more here.
