Patch Area and Soil Resource Availability Outweigh Heterogeneity in Shaping Karst Plant Diversity During Early Restoration
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.72417
Abstract: ABSTRACT Karst landscapes, vital to global terrestrial ecosystems, are characterized by fragmented soil patches with low resource availability and high resource heterogeneity. However, the relative roles of patch properties, soil resource availability, and heterogeneity in… read more here.

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: 10.1002/ecs2.70441
Abstract: Climate‐driven phenological mismatches have the potential to disrupt plant–pollinator interactions, emphasizing the need to uncover drivers behind spatial and temporal dynamics of floral resource availability. This is especially important in habitats such as mountain meadows,… 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: 10.1093/aobpla/plaf027
Abstract: Abstract Plants have long-lasting and complex interactions with herbivores, including insects and mammals. In response to high herbivory rates, plants either tolerate biomass loss or develop several defence mechanisms, such as physical defence. The resource… read more here.
