Urbanization, environmental stabilization and temporal persistence of bird species: A view from Latin America [PDF]
Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, seasons and years, promoting a

Long‐term population dynamics of western tent caterpillars: History, trends and causes of cycles
The length and in‐depth nature of this population study make it unique. It represents perhaps the most extensive monitoring of viral infection in a wild insect population. We have used laboratory and field experiments to test many hypotheses about mechanisms that potentially impact the dynamics of this cyclic species.

Riparian shading controls instream spring phytoplankton and benthic diatom growth [PDF]
Dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations showed a striking pattern in a multi-year study of the River Enborne, a small river in SE England. In each of three years (2010-2012), maximum DO concentrations were attained in mid-April, preceded by a period of ...

Summary Late spring frost (LSF) severely impacts tree growth and forest productivity, with global warming potentially altering LSF risk due to asymmetric changes in vegetation onset and frost timing. However, reconstructing past frost regimes with climatic and phenological data remains challenging. Using phenological models, high‐resolution climate and

ABSTRACT Temperature sensing to adjust developmental rates and phenological responses to different climatic environments is critical for plant survival. Population‐based thermal‐time threshold models predict linear relationships between temperature and, for example, seed germination rates (speed), but the mechanisms are not known.

Breeding studies in walnut (Juglans regia L.) are usually time consuming due to the long juvenile period and therefore, this study aimed to determine markers associated with time of leaf budburst and flowering-related traits by performing a genome-wide ...

The purpose of this resource is to observe plant green-up and report data that will be used by scientists to validate satellite estimates of the beginning of the plant growing season.

Ecological effects of artificial light at night on wild plants [PDF]
PublishedSummary 1.Plants use light as a source of both energy and information. Plant physiological responses to light, and interactions between plants and animals (such as herbivory and pollination), have evolved under a more or less stable regime of ...

ABSTRACT Desert plant responses to changing water resources and atmospheric conditions strongly influence ecosystem carbon and water fluxes. Yet, resolving desert plant responses to spatial and temporal variability in the environment remains challenging. Here, we determined responses of a deep‐rooted phreatophyte shrub (Sarcobatus vermiculatus) growing

Near-surface remote sensing of spatial and temporal variation in canopy phenology [PDF]
There is a need to document how plant phenology is responding to global change factors, particularly warming trends. “Near-surface” remote sensing, using radiometric instruments or imaging sensors, has great potential to improve phenological monitoring ...
