The relationship between epilithic biofilm stability and its associated meiofauna under two patterns of flood disturbance [PDF]
, 2012 Habitat stability is an important driver of ecological community composition and development. River epilithic biofilms are particularly unstable habitats for the establishment of benthic communities because they are regularly disturbed by floods. Our aim

Rangewide responses of Mimulus cardinalis to an extreme heat event
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Extreme events are an understudied aspect of ongoing anthropogenic climate change that could play a disproportionate role in the threat that rapid environmental shifts pose to natural populations. Methods We exposed plants originating from seeds that were harvested before (ancestors) and after (descendants) multiple extreme heat events

Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.
