Beyond EICA : understanding post-establishment evolution requires a broader evaluation of potential selection pressures [PDF]

, 2011
Research on post-establishment evolution in nonnative plant populations has focused almost exclusively on testing the Evolution of Increased Competitive Ability (EICA) hypothesis, which posits that the lack of specialized herbivores in the invaded range ...

Scaling up the curvature of mammalian metabolism

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2014
A curvilinear relationship between mammalian metabolic rate and body size on a log-log scale has been adopted in lieu of thelongstanding concept of a 3/4 allometric relationship (Kolokotrones et al. 2010).

Evidence for an ecological cost of enhanced herbicide metabolism in Lolium rigidum [PDF]

, 2009
1. In some cases, evaluation of resource competitive interactions between herbicide resistant vs. susceptible weed ecotypes provides evidence for the expression of fitness costs associated with evolved herbicide-resistant gene traits. Such fitness costs

Consequences of different sample drying temperatures for accuracy of biomass inventories in forest ecosystems

Scientific Reports, 2020
Biomass estimation is one of the crucial tasks of forest ecology. Drying tree material is a crucial stage of preparing biomass estimation tools. However, at this step researchers use different drying temperatures, but we do not know how this influences ...

Plant and soil microbe responses to light, warming and nitrogen addition in a temperate forest [PDF]

, 2018
1. Temperate forests across Europe and eastern North America have become denser since the 1950s due to less intensive forest management and global environmental changes such as nitrogen deposition and climate warming. Denser tree canopies result in lower

Faster nitrogen cycling and more fungal and root biomass in cold ecosystems under experimental warming: a meta‐analysis

Ecology, 2019
Warming can alter the biogeochemistry and ecology of soils. These alterations can be particularly large in high northern latitude ecosystems, which are experiencing the most intense warming globally.
