American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 9, September 2024.Abstract Premise Cleomaceae is an important model clade for studies of evolutionary processes including genome evolution, floral form diversification, and photosynthetic pathway evolution. Diversification and divergence patterns in Cleomaceae remain tangled as research has been restricted by its worldwide distribution, limited genetic sampling and ...

Plant dispersal strategies of high tropical alpine communities across the Andes [PDF]
, 2020 Dispersal is a key ecological process that influences plant community assembly. Therefore, understanding whether dispersal strategies are associated with climate is of utmost importance, particularly in areas greatly exposed to climate change.

Endozoochory of large bryophyte fragments by waterbirds [PDF]
, 2017 Dispersal is a fundamental requirement for all organisms, indeed theoretical arguments show that dispersal is still required even in a uniform and predictable environment, and it is obviously a key mechanism by which plants respond to climate change ...

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 489-497, September 2024.ABSTRACT We analysed internal dispersal of zooplankton by waterbirds (endozoochory) in New Zealand, quantifying zooplankton eggs in faecal droppings collected at two lakes, Lake Rotoroa (Hamilton) and Lake Rotorua. Sixty‐seven faecal droppings were collected from Mallard Ducks (20), Canada Geese (11), Greylag Geese (6), Black Swans (20) and Australian ...

The role of waterbirds in the dispersal of aquatic organisms in southern Africa [PDF]
, 2016 Dispersal is a fundamental process with far-reaching ecological and evolutionary consequences. Not all organisms are capable of dispersing on their own and instead produce propagules that must be transported to new habitat by a vector.

A framework for testing assumptions about foraging scales, body mass, and niche separation using telemetry data [PDF]
, 2017 Ecological theory predicts that if animals with very similar dietary requirements inhabit the same landscape, then they should avoid niche overlap by either exploiting food resources at different times or foraging at different spatial scales.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 4, Page 573-590, April 2024.Abstract In many regions, climatic drying is shortening hydroperiods and freshwater biodiversity is declining. Aquatic species that lack a desiccation‐resistant life stage are predicted to have the least ability to persist in drying climates, yet such species may occur in intermittent waterbodies.

Freshwater Biology, Volume 69, Issue 1, Page 112-126, January 2024.Abstract Isopods play many important roles within freshwater ecosystems (including as shredders, prey, and detritivores), yet we know little about their responses to disturbance or whether they vary among populations. In a region undergoing severe climatic drying that is changing hydrological regimes in wetlands, we compared responses to drying ...

The invasive biology of the talitrid amphipod Platorchestia platensis in North West Europe [PDF]
, 2011 The talitrid amphipod Platorchestia platensis (Kröyer, 1845) is an invasive species which has been spreading along European coasts over the last 150 years. This paper will review what is known of the distribution of P.

Can the western conifer seed bug Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910) threaten coniferous forests in Poland? [PDF]
, 2020 This is a review article. It discusses the current state of knowledge of the biology of Leptoglossus occidentalis (Heidemann, 1910) [Hemiptera: Heteroptera: Coreidae], direct and indirect damage caused by the pest, the dangers of its rapid expansion and ...
