Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

The aquatic insects of Mill Creek, California [PDF]

, 1987
The study of insects has been a hobby for me for more than twenty years. Their diversity and adaptation to many habitats has been of particular interest.

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

An Aquatic Hymenopterous Insect [PDF]

Nature, 1895
No doubt many of your readers are aware that, in 1863, Sir John Lubbock gave an account of an extraordinary hymenopterous insect which he had observed swimming in a basin of water taken from a pond at Chislehurst. Another observer (Mr. Duchess, of Stepney) had also found a single specimen about the same time; then, in 1881, Mr.

Aquatic Terrestrial Linkages Along a Braided-River: Riparian Arthropods Feeding on Aquatic Insects [PDF]

, 2018
Rivers can provide important sources of energy for riparian biota. Stable isotope analysis (δ13C, δ15N) together with linear mixing models, were used to quantify the importance of aquatic insects as a food source for a riparian arthropod assemblage ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Aquatic subsidies supplement the diet of Western Yellow Wagtails in an intensive agricultural landscape

Basic and Applied Ecology
With intensification of agriculture, it has become increasingly difficult for farmland birds to find food. The chicks of many farmland bird species depend on insects, yet terrestrial insects have shown steep declines in agricultural environments. Here we
