Latitudinal resource gradient shapes multivariate defense strategies in a long‐lived shrub

open access: yesEcology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Plant defense against herbivores is multidimensional, and investment into different defense traits is intertwined due to genetic, physiological, and ecological costs. This relationship is expected to generate a trade‐off between direct defense and tolerance that is underlain by resource availability, with increasing resources being associated ...

Priority effects in coral–macroalgae interactions can drive alternate community paths in the absence of top‐down control

open access: yesEcology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract The outcomes of species interactions can vary greatly in time and space with the outcomes of some interactions determined by priority effects. On coral reefs, benthic algae rapidly colonize disturbed substrate. In the absence of top‐down control from herbivorous fishes, these algae can inhibit the recruitment of reef‐building corals, leading ...

Root hemiparasitic plants are associated with more even communities across North America

open access: yesEcology, Volume 103, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Root hemiparasitic plants both compete with and extract resources from host plants. By reducing the abundance of dominant plants and releasing subordinates from competitive exclusion, they can have an outsized impact on plant communities. Most research on the ecological role of hemiparasites is manipulative and focuses on a small number of ...
