Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Agricultural cover was positively associated with fluctuating asymmetry in Trypoxylon opacum, suggesting a possible increase in developmental instability in intensively managed landscapes. Wing size was positively related to forest cover and negatively related to agricultural cover, indicating that forested landscapes may promote larger body size ...

Linking microbial co‐occurrences to soil ecological processes across a woodland‐grassland ecotone
Ecology and Evolution, 2018 Ecotones between distinct ecosystems have been the focus of many studies as they offer valuable insights into key drivers of community structure and ecological processes that underpin function.

, 2019 Shifts in the extent of the boreal forest during past warm intervals and correlations between climate and the position of the forest–tundra ecotone suggest that recent temperature increases will fa...

Diversity, 2019 Decreasing frequency of freeze events due to climate change is enabling the poleward range expansion of mangroves. As these tropical trees expand poleward, they are replacing herbaceous saltmarsh vegetation.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

DiversityThe expansion of human activities across natural environments is now well known. This includes agricultural activities that effectively render many former natural environments sterile habitats for animals.

Analysis of the boreal forest-tundra ecotone: A test of AVIRIS capabilities in the Eastern Canadian subarctic [PDF]
A comparison was conducted between ground reflectance spectra collected in Schefferville, Canada and imaging spectrometer observations acquired by the AVIRIS sensor in a flight of the ER-2 Aircraft over the same region.

Visual Cues Can Alter the Behavioural Responses of Dragonfly Larvae to Chemical Alarm Cues
Ethology, EarlyView.Using a controlled experimental approach, we examined how chemical and visual cues influence antipredator behaviour in Aeshna cyanea larvae and tested whether risk‐related information can be socially transmitted among nearby conspecifics. Our results show that dragonfly larvae do not copy the antipredator responses of others, but visual cues alter how ...
