Factors that shape large‐scale gradients in clonality

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 827-837, May 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim Many plant species reproduce clonally. However, ecologists still have much to learn about the factors that shape large‐scale patterns in plant clonal growth and reproduction, especially in the southern hemisphere. We addressed this knowledge gap by quantifying relationships between reproductive mode and a suite of plant characteristics and

An emerging coastal wetland management dilemma between mangrove expansion and shorebird conservation

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022
Abstract Coastal wetlands around the world have been degraded by human activities. Global declines in the extent of important coastal wetlands, including mangroves, salt marshes, and tidal flats, necessitate mitigation and restoration efforts. However, some well‐meaning management actions, particularly mangrove afforestation, can inadvertently cause ...

Plant diversity ameliorates the evolutionary development of fungicide resistance in an agricultural ecosystem

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 58, Issue 11, Page 2566-2578, November 2021., 2021
The development of fungicide resistance greatly threatens food security and ecological sustainability, and it is urgent need to develop agricultural practices which can ameliorate this problem. Our results show that potato crop with a genetic diversity is associated with a late blight pathogen of higher fungicide sensitivity and lower potential of ...

Quantifying biases in marine‐protected‐area placement relative to abatable threats

Conservation Biology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 1350-1359, December 2019., 2019
Abstract Marine protected areas (MPAs) are a critical defense against biodiversity loss in the world's oceans, but to realize near‐term conservation benefits, they must be established where major threats to biodiversity occur and can be mitigated. We quantified the degree to which MPA establishment has targeted stoppable threats (i.e., threats that can

The vesicle trafficking R‐SNARE VAMP714 connects auxin responses, ROS and ion homeostasis in Arabidopsis under salt stress

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Network of VAMP714‐dependent interactions during salt stress. Summary Plant responses to salt stress include an altered root architecture mediated by ion imbalances, reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, and altered hormonal responses. Auxin is implicated in these processes.

The coordination of dehydration tolerance and avoidance in oaks is mediated by leaf habit across a precipitation gradient

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 750-763, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by drought due to climate change, prompting plants to adapt through dehydration tolerance (DT) and avoidance (DA), two distinct physiological strategies.

Remote sensing estimation on regional continuous daily evapotranspiration based on Richards equation [PDF]

Evapotranspiration (ET) is an important part of water cycle in nature, and the estimation of evapotranspiration on spatio-temporal scale has always been a hot issue. Remote sensing can estimate evapotranspiration on regional scale, but it is difficult to

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.
