DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8285
Abstract: Abstract Resource availability and heterogeneity are recognized as two essential environmental aspects to determine species diversity and community abundance. However, how soil resource availability and heterogeneity determine species diversity and community abundance in highly heterogeneous… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9722
Abstract: Abstract Within‐species variation in animal body size predicts major differences in life history, for example, in reproductive development, fecundity, and even longevity. Purely from an energetic perspective, large size could entail larger energy reserves, fuelling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12224-017-9299-7
Abstract: In nature, resource availability varies not only in space, but also in time. There is some evidence that initial growth conditions influence the future life of genets and affect their clonal propagation and that this… read more here.

Joint effects of brood size and resource availability on sibling competition
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Animal Behaviour"
DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2017.05.010
Abstract: The evolution of sibling competition is promoted when the brood's demand for resources (brood size) exceeds the parents' supply of resources (resource availability). However, little is known about the joint effects of brood size and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2017.11.019
Abstract: Abstract The radiation of early animals involved dramatic turnover of both eukaryotic life and marine environments, but the factors that drove origination and extinction of taxa remain controversial. Herein, we review current interpretations and uncertainties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gb006497
Abstract: While phytoplankton play a key role in ocean biogeochemical cycles, the availability and supply pathways of resources that support their growth remain poorly constrained. Here, we show that the availability of various resources varies over… read more here.

DOI: 10.1101/2022.02.23.481645
Abstract: Background House mice (Mus musculus) are widespread and invasive on many islands where they can have both direct and indirect ecological impacts on native ecological communities. Given their opportunistic, omnivorous nature the consumptive and competitive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1365-2656.12858
Abstract: Body size is a central functional trait in ecological communities. Despite recognition of the importance of above ground-below ground interactions, effects of above-ground herbivores on size and abundance-size relationships in soil fauna are almost uncharted.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1462-2920.16184
Abstract: Microbial interactions within resident communities are a major determinant of resistance to pathogen invasion. Yet, interactions vary with environmental conditions, raising the question of how community composition and environments interactively shape invasion resistance. Here we… read more here.
