Ecological Consequences of Extinction
Lessons in Conservation, 2010Extinction may be a natural process, but due to human activities, it is currently proceeding at an artificially accelerated rate. Field experiments and observations demonstrate that species extinctions may have broad consequences including related extinctions, loss of ecosystem functions, and disease.

Ecological Causes and Consequences of Bird Orientation
Experientia, 1990An advanced orientation capability offers possibilities for birds to optimize movement patterns in a wide variety of ecological situations. The adaptive significance of various patterns of angular dispersion and of orientation responses to topography and sociality are elucidated.

Ecological Consequences of Allelopathy
2012Allelopathy refers to the effects of one plant on another plant through the release of chemical compounds into the environment. Chemicals released from plants, imposing allelopathic influences (allelochemicals) are classified as secondary metabolites and are produced as offshoots of the primary metabolic pathways in plants.

Animal personalities: consequences for ecology and evolution
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2012Personality differences are a widespread phenomenon throughout the animal kingdom. Past research has focused on the characterization of such differences and a quest for their proximate and ultimate causation. However, the consequences of these differences for ecology and evolution received much less attention.

Ecological and Evolutionary Consequences of Parasite Avoidance
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2018Predators often cause prey to adopt defensive strategies that reduce predation risk. The 'ecology of fear' examines these trait changes and their consequences. Similarly, parasites can cause hosts to adopt defensive strategies that reduce infection risk.

Ecological Consequences of Sea-Ice Decline
Science, 2013After a decade with nine of the lowest arctic sea-ice minima on record, including the historically low minimum in 2012, we synthesize recent developments in the study of ecological responses to sea-ice decline. Sea-ice loss emerges as an important driver of marine and terrestrial ecological dynamics, influencing productivity, species interactions ...

Ecological and evolutionary consequences of changing seasonality
ScienceClimate change and other anthropogenic drivers alter seasonal regimes across freshwater, terrestrial, and marine biomes. Seasonal patterns affect ecological and evolutionary processes at different ecological levels through changes to gene frequencies, species traits, population dynamics, species interactions, and different facets of biodiversity.

The ecology of science and its consequences for the ecology of language
Language Sciences, 2014Abstract Beginning with three preliminary considerations – on the factual role of prejudices (Section 1 ), on the relation of nature and culture (Section 2 ) and on the importance of logic (Section 3 ) – I compare the logical point of view with the ecological point of view for a new understanding of the philosophy of science (Section 4 ), the ...
