Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Biogeography of intertidal invertebrates is influenced by latitude along the west coast of Australia

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Along the west coast of Australia, intertidal rock platforms support high invertebrate diversities that provide vital ecosystem services, yet patterns in diversity are not well understood. Here, we document and examine the invertebrate assemblages on intertidal rock platforms in Western Australia and delineate ecoregions according to assemblage ...

From distant shores to an emerging island: the role of surface and subsurface transport in modeling seed dispersal

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Long‐distance seed dispersal by ocean currents plays a critical role in structuring coastal plant communities. As direct observations of this phenomenon are infeasible, numerical modeling is a valuable tool. Here, we use Lagrangian particle tracking to examine the colonization of the newly forming island Norderoogsand (German Bight, Wadden Sea) by five

Macroecological relationships of ant diversity with increasing aridity in Australian tropical savannas: contrasting responses of epigaeic and hypogaeic assemblages

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.
