Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Methodological Perspectives of Doing Afrocentric Dementia Research in Africa

Brain Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper interrogates the methodological strengths and limitations inherent in conventional dementia research in Africa, where reliance on translated instruments and imported diagnostic rubrics has produced uneven evidence and ethical inadequacy.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

The environmental dependence of ecological interaction networks

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Interactions between species are often assumed to occur whenever species pairs co‐occur, allowing us to reconstruct local ecological networks from a deterministic ‘metaweb’. Over the past few years, an increasing number of papers have called for a reassessment of this simplistic assumption.
