DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3694
Abstract: Metacommunity theory predicts that the composition and diversity of a site depends on its characteristics and those of its neighborhood. Dispersal between plots in a field experiment could link responses observed in a focal plot… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12517-018-3759-0
Abstract: An accurate threshold velocity ut for sand movement is essential for predicting wind erosion events and calculating the magnitude of horizontal sand flux. We compared various approaches for determining ut using data observed during 4–31… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40656-018-0209-y
Abstract: In many experimental sciences, like particle physics or molecular biology, the proper place for establishing facts is the laboratory. In the sciences of population biology, however, the laboratory is often seen as a poor approximation… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.11.025
Abstract: Directed social learning suggests that information flows through social groups in a nonrandom way, with individuals biased to obtain information from certain conspecifics. A bias to copy the behaviour of more dominant individuals has been… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2022.119178
Abstract: Cadmium (Cd) is a potentially hazardous element with substantial biological toxicity, adversely affecting plant growth and physiological metabolism. Therefore, it is necessary to explore practical and environment-friendly approaches to reduce toxicity. Jasmonic acid (JA) is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/10584609.2018.1514447
Abstract: Field experiments are notoriously difficult to implement when studying media effects. They are often prohibitively expensive, require the cooperation of a nonacademic entity, and measure effects some time after exposure to treatment. In this article,… read more here.
