The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Seasonal variation in community structure and elevational distributions of mammals and birds in the Central Himalayas

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Montane species utilize various habitats along elevations to adapt to seasonality, providing an ideal opportunity to study how species respond to shifting environments. This study characterizes seasonal changes in community structure and elevational distributions across multiple taxa in the Central Himalayas.

Photoprotective Strategies of Mediterranean Plants in Relation to Morphological Traits and Natural Environmental Pressure: A Meta-Analytical Approach

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Despite being a small geographic extension, Mediterranean Basin is characterized by an exceptional plant biodiversity. Adaptive responses of this biocoenosis are delineated by an unusual temporal dissociation along the year between optimal temperature ...

Plant sex influences aquatic–terrestrial interactions

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
A growing body of research shows that plant genetic factors can influence ecosystem processes and structure communities, but one aspect that has received little study is sex differentiation in dioecious plants.

Wild bees and landcover: bee species' body size does not predict the scale of effect, but bee phenology predicts association with landcover type

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Habitat is a key aspect of any species' niche and can affect populations at multiple spatial scales. Basic ecology and effective conservation thus require an understanding of which habitats matter and at what scales. Yet, habitat studies are rarely scale‐optimized, and what determines the scale(s) at which populations are affected by surrounding ...

Garcinia kusumae (Clusiaceae): A New Species From Assam, India

open access: yesFeddes Repertorium, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A new species, Garcinia kusumae (Clusiaceae), is described and illustrated from Assam, India. Detailed comparisons with morphologically similar species are provided to support its novelty. This discovery contributes to the underexplored diversity of Garcinia in Northeast India and highlights the importance of continued botanical exploration in
