Competition for waterborne food resources among tropical shallow-water sponges. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract A recurrent theme in marine ecology is that the community dynamics of sessile, suspension‐feeding animals is primarily limited by the availability of space, but in some habitats, filtration by these organisms may locally deplete water column resources, setting the stage for exploitative competition for food.

Genomic analysis reveals deep population divergence in the water snake Trimerodytes percarinatus (Serpentes, Natricidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this work, we used both mtDNA data and SNP data to explore the population genetic structure, genetic diversity, and evolutionary history of a widespread, semiaquatic, non‐venomous snake Trimerodytes percarinatus. We hope our present study will be of wide interest to systematic researchers and phylogeographers.

Recovery of insular seabird populations years after rodent eradication
Conservation Biology, Volume 37, Issue 3, June 2023., 2023 Abstract Seabirds have been particularly affected by invasive non‐native species, which has led to the implementation of numerous eradication campaigns for the conservation of these keystone and highly vulnerable species. Although the benefits of eradication of invasive non‐native species for seabird conservation have been demonstrated, the recovery ...

Smaller species experience mild adversity under shading in an old‐field plant community
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2022., 2022 We characterized the light environment and tested for evidence of a size‐advantage in light competition in an old‐field plant community. We found that plots with taller species cast more shade, and that smaller species were less abundant and diverse in plots where light penetration was low; however, variation in mean plot height explained less than 10%

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 We use phylogenetic analysis to compare the effect of three different sequence clustering methods applied to long environmental rDNA amplicon sequences of soil microeukaryotic communities. We demonstrate that different clustering methods have a strong effect on estimated richness and identified taxa, but all methods recover large scale ecological ...

Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2021., 2021 Abstract Coastal ecosystems are constantly buffeted by anthropogenic forces that degrade habitats and alter ecological processes and functions; in turn, this habitat degradation diminishes the ecosystem goods and services on which humans rely. Within the last few decades, the field of restoration ecology has burgeoned into a discipline that marries ...

Spatial patterns of leaf δ13C and δ15N of aquatic macrophytes in the arid zone of northwestern China
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 7, Page 3110-3119, April 2021., 2021 We investigated the relationships between climate and environmental factors and plant leaf δ13C and δ15N in the arid zone of northwest China. We speculated that water‐relation factors are the leaf δ13C determinant of macrophytes in the arid zone of northwestern China, and the main factors affecting leaf δ15N values are the complex combination of water ...

Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 8, August 2020., 2020 Abstract A species’ ability to establish and spread is influenced by different types of biotic interactions encountered in a new range. Species with high dependency on biotic interactions, such as orchids, are believed to have low ability to expand ranges.
