Compressed air and hydrogen storage experimental facilities for sustainable energy storage technologies at Yunlong Lake Laboratory (CAPABLE)

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
Construction of compressed air and hydrogen storage experimental facilities for sustainable energy storage technologies at Yunlong Lake Laboratory (CAPABLE) has started. At CAPABLE, examination of composite structure design, advancement of material development, and design of a monitoring and early warning system in deep underground environments can be ...

Most young leaves pale in comparison to mature leaves: delayed greening is neither binary nor tropical

Ecography, EarlyView.
Delayed greening, the phenomenon in which expanding leaves appear red, blue or pale green due to low chlorophyll content, has long intrigued ecologists. However, little is known about what type of species are most likely to delay greening or which environmental conditions are associated with delayed greening.

The pace and drivers of community change vary over space and time – findings from a national biomonitoring programme

Ecography, EarlyView.
Habitat heterogeneity and demographic processes create variability in the major taxonomic diversity trends: 1) biotic homogenization and 2) the emergence of novel community compositions. Nonetheless, little is known about how the imprints of environmental filtering and random demographic processes on community dissimilarity vary over 1) time or 2 ...

Effects of zooplankton abundance on the spawning phenology of winter-spawning Downs herring (Clupea harengus).

PLoS ONE
We have investigated phenological shifts in autumn- and winter-spawning Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) in the Eastern English Channel and the Southern North Sea (Downs component), in relation to temperature and the availability of potential ...

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast

Ecography, EarlyView.
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large‐scale patterns.

Global phylogenetic and functional structure of rodent assemblages

Ecography, EarlyView.
Exploring the global patterns of phylogenetic and functional structure of assemblages is key to describe the distribution of biodiversity on Earth and to predict how communities and ecosystem functioning may be affected by anthropogenic pressures. Rodent communities have been studied in this regard in the past, but previous work largely focused on ...

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

Predicting global intraspecific trait variation of grasses

Ecography, EarlyView.
Plant traits are important for understanding community assembly and ecosystem processes, yet our understanding of intraspecific trait variation (ITV) is limited. This gap in our knowledge is partially because collecting trait data across a species' entire range is impractical, let alone across the ranges of multiple species within a plant family. Using

A zoogeographic model for the evolution of diversity and endemism in Madagascar

Ecography, EarlyView.
The delineation of zoogeographic regions is essential for understanding the evolution of biodiversity. Madagascar, characterized by high levels of endemism and habitat diversity, presents unique challenges and opportunities for such studies. Traditional global zoogeographic classifications, largely based on vertebrates, may overlook finer‐scale ...

Unraveling the role of environmental and anthropogenic drivers in shaping global patterns in mammal diversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Patterns in functional and phylogenetic diversity reflect ecological and evolutionary relationships among taxa, and thus can offer key insights into the mechanisms underlying species distributions. However, disentangling the relative influence of proximate environmental drivers versus biogeographic evolutionary history can be a challenge.
