An epigenomic threshold hypothesis for integrating dynamic environmental signals into functional models of developmental polyphenisms

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between developing embryos and a multitude of environmental factors (e.g. climate, nutrition, social cues, stress and anthropogenic contaminants) underlie adaptive and non‐adaptive developmental plasticity and carry broad implications across ecological ...

Aphid polyphenisms: trans-generational developmental regulation through viviparity

Frontiers in Physiology, 2013
Polyphenism, in which multiple discrete phenotypes develop from a single genotype, is considered to have contributed to the evolutionary success of aphids.

Landscape diversity can promote functional diversity of spider assemblages while habitat characteristics filter for specific traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Agricultural landscape simplification due to the loss of semi‐natural habitats can act as an environmental filter for species and their functional traits. Both local‐ and landscape‐level factors can shape community structure; although through different mechanisms.

Battle of the giants: Clonal expansion rates, effects on wetland plant communities and competition between introduced Phragmites australis australis and native Phragmites australis americanus

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The success of non‐native species in novel environments has received worldwide attention, resulting in dozens of hypotheses trying to explain this demographic success.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus alters the phyllosphere microbial community and modifies plant defences against co‐attack of pea aphid and pathogen

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), pathogens and insect pests usually colonize or infect the same plant. Besides, AMF changes plant defence enzymes and metabolites under multiple biotic stresses and alters the interrelationship between plant, pathogen and insect ...

Intraspecific plant chemodiversity at plot level has contrasting effects on arthropod functional groups

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant chemistry mediates interactions between plants and their environment. While intraspecific chemodiversity at the individual plant level is well studied, the effects of chemodiversity at the plant community level on arthropod interactions need more attention.

Rooted disruptions: Below‐ground herbivory drives contrasting natural enemy foraging for hosts and prey

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although research on below‐ground multitrophic interactions has increased, comparative studies examining how root herbivores influence the foraging behaviour of different natural enemies—especially generalist predators—remains limited.
