The ecological consequences of a pandemic. [PDF]
Biol Lett, 2020 Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has altered human behaviour in profound ways, prompting some to question whether the associated economic and social impacts might outweigh disease impacts. This fits into a burgeoning ecological paradigm suggesting that for both predator–prey and parasite–host interactions, non-consumptive effects ...

The Evolutionary and Ecological Consequences of Cooperation. [PDF]
Am NatThe last 30 years have seen major advances in our understanding of the evolution of cooperation—traits that have evolved because of the benefit they provide other individuals. In contrast, we have been much less successful in determining the consequences of cooperation for long-term ecological and evolutionary change.

Ecological consequences of neonicotinoid mixtures in streams. [PDF]
Sci Adv, 2022 Neonicotinoid mixtures are common in streams worldwide, but corresponding ecological responses are poorly understood. We combined experimental and observational studies to narrow this knowledge gap. The mesocosm experiment determined that concentrations of the neonicotinoids imidacloprid and clothianidin (range of exposures, 0 to 11.9 μg ...

The ecological consequences of temperament in spiders
Current Zoology, 2012 Ecological and evolutionary studies on spiders have been featured prominently throughout the contemporary behavioral syndromes movement. Here we review the behavioral syndromes literature devoted to spiders, and identify some ways in which behavioral ...

Ecological consequences of genetic diversity [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2008 AbstractUnderstanding the ecological consequences of biodiversity is a fundamental challenge. Research on a key component of biodiversity, genetic diversity, has traditionally focused on its importance in evolutionary processes, but classical studies in evolutionary biology, agronomy and conservation biology indicate that genetic diversity might also ...

Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Viral Plasticity [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2018 Abstract Viruses can infect any organism. Because viruses use the host machinery to replicate, their performance depends on the host physiological state. For bacteriophages, this host-viral performance link has been characterized empirically and with intracellular theories.

Ecological Consequences of Clonal Integration in Plants. [PDF]
Front Plant Sci, 2016 Clonal plants are widespread throughout the plant kingdom and dominate in diverse habitats. Spatiotemporal heterogeneity of environment is pervasive at multiple scales, even at scales relevant to individual plants. Clonal integration refers to resource translocation and information communication among the ramets of clonal plants.
