Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Functional response predicts invasiveness but not trophic impact

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This comparative analysis challenges the current paradigm that pre‐invasion functional response magnitude serves as a reliable predictor of post‐invasion ecological impact and highlights the need to distinguish between pre‐adaptation in native ranges and realized performance in invaded ecosystems.

What can we learn from disability policy to advance our understanding of how to operationalise intersectionality in Australian policy frameworks?

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Intersectional theory recognises inequity is rarely the result of one social identity; social identities, and their interaction with context and power relations, offer some protective factors, while marginalises others. Taking an intersectional approach to social policy has the potential to provide deeper insights in terms of identifying and ...
