Direct derivation of anisotropic atomic displacement parameters from molecular dynamics simulations in extended solids with substitutional disorder using a neural network potential

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section A, EarlyView.
Direct derivation of anisotropic atomic displacement parameters is possible using molecular dynamics simulations of supercells at finite temperature.Atomic displacement parameters (ADPs) are crystallographic information describing the statistical distribution of atoms around an atom site.

Complete metamorphosis promotes morphological and functional diversity in Caudata

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Metamorphosis, a common and spectacular developmental process, involves major phenotypic changes often linked to environmental transitions. Understanding how these changes affect morphological evolution is crucial for examining metamorphosis's evolutionary impacts.

Climate explains global functional trait variation in bees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate is a fundamental driver of macroecological patterns in functional trait variation. However, many of the traits that have outsized effects on thermal performance are complex, multi‐dimensional, and challenging to quantify at scale.

Spiroacetals and the rise of Campanula specialists: Receptor sensitivity to host‐specific floral scents

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Campanula flowers (Campanulaceae) are visited by generalist and specialist bees of different families. While generalists rely on common volatiles within the floral scent of Campanula, specialist Megachilidae mainly use unusual spiroacetals for host flower recognition ...

Linking leaf economic spectrum to floral resources along an environmental gradient

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Although it is generally assumed that vegetative and reproductive traits are subject to different selection pressures, our results highlight their interconnectedness and suggest that their evolution may be characterised by the balance of different selection factors rather than by independent processes.

Carboxylate release as a nutrient‐acquisition strategy in mycorrhizal plant species in phosphorus‐impoverished environments

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Many mycorrhizal plant species very likely depended on root carboxylate release to acquire P at the P‐impoverished study sites. Arbuscular mycorrhizal species exhibited a less conservative nutrient‐utilisation strategy with higher leaf [P] than cluster‐rooted non‐mycorrhizal species and accessed more inorganic N.

Allometric Constraint Predominates Over the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis in a Radiation of Neotropical Treefrogs

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Male frogs emit calls to attract mates and deter conspecific rivals. The evolution of these calls is thought to be linked to anatomical constraints and the acoustic characteristics of their surroundings. We tested these two factors in a radiation of 112 species of Neotropical treefrogs and found that body size and calling site affect peak frequency but
