Microbial drivers of root plasticity
Summary Soils are highly heterogeneous and dynamic systems, experiencing a constant flow of plant root exudates and moisture fluctuations that affect nutrient distribution, soil physicochemical properties, and microbial metabolisms. Plant roots adjust their development within the soil matrix (growth, branching, root angle, and anatomical features) by ...

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Effectiveness of Key Biodiversity Areas in representing global avian diversity
Abstract Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) are the largest and most complete network of significant sites for the global persistence of biodiversity. Although important sites for birds worldwide have been relatively well assessed, a key question is how effectively the global KBA network represents avian diversity.

Asymmetries in the Temporal Variation of the Electron Content During a Solar Eclipse
Abstract Solar eclipses offer a unique opportunity to study rapid variations in the Earth's atmosphere. By accurately modeling the timing and magnitude of obscuration caused by the Moon's shadow, we can investigate the eclipse's impact on the behavior of the Earth's ionosphere.

ABSTRACT Temperature trends influence the behaviour of animals, mainly ectotherms, with thermoregulation led by a contingent of biotic and abiotic factors, such as seasonality and habitat quality, especially regarding nocturnal lizards. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to analyse the microhabitat use and thermal ecology of Gymnodactylus ...

Experimental Determination of Labidus coecus Army Ant Diet: Novel Evidence for a Feeding Strategy
Labidus coecus coffee shop experiment – faced with three choices—beef, fish, and apple with honey—the ants mainly chose beef. ABSTRACT Army ants prey mainly on invertebrates, occasionally attacking vertebrates. However, it remains unclear whether these attacks are defensive or for consumption.

Prayer, Participation, and Perfection in Dante's Commedia
Abstract This article stands at the intersection of two theological moments: one recognizing the theological authority of Dante Alighieri, especially in his Commedia, the other examining the relation of the doctrine of prayer to the doctrine of God. It argues that Dante can inform modern theological reflection on this relation in a profound way.

High soil moisture triggers negative plant–soil feedbacks in a tropical forest
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant‐microbial interactions help stabilize coexistence and shape ecological communities. These interactions are sensitive to abiotic conditions, but how they may be affected by environmental change is unknown.

It's time to go—Drivers and plasticity of migration phenology in a short‐distance migratory ungulate
In thishis study, we reveal how vegetation phenology and snow dynamics drive the timing of migration in a short‐distance migratory ungulate inhabiting the Alps. Differences appeared between sexes, suggesting that female ibex could be constrained in their migration timing because of parturition, questioning the consequences of rapid climate change in ...
