An equilibrium theory signature in the island biogeography of human parasites and pathogens [PDF]
, 2015 Aim Our understanding of the ecology and biogeography of microbes, including those that cause human disease, lags behind that for larger species. Despite recent focus on the geographical distribution of viruses and bacteria, the overall environmental ...

Foliar pH, an emerging plant functional trait: Biogeography and variability across northern China [PDF]
, 2019 Aims Plant pH is a functional trait deserving more attention than the current few studies at local scales, given its roles in nutrient cycling and physiological processes. How plant pH varies and is regulated at large scales remain unclear.

Predicted climate shifts within terrestrial protected areas worldwide
Nature Communications, 2019 Protected areas are important refugia for wildlife, so if climate conditions within them change, wildlife could lose critical suitable habitat. Here the authors calculate the projected gain and loss of climate conditions within terrestrial protected ...
