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.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Clash of the Invaders: Competition Dynamics of Bromus tectorum and Ventenata dubia in an Addition Series Study

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Competitive interactions between co‐occurring invasive species can have detrimental impacts on native communities and cause counter‐effective responses to management.

Environmental and geomorphological drivers of frog diversity on islands worldwide

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Island biogeography models primarily rely on island physical features and isolation to explain their biodiversity patterns. While newer models have incorporated functional traits to understand plant distribution, few empirical studies have tried to disentangle geometric constraints from niche‐based processes to predict multiple diversity facets of ...

Cross‐scale interactions mediate local drivers of nonnative species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Many well‐supported hypotheses seek to explain drivers of nonnative species richness across spatial scales, but evidence for common patterns among regions and taxa remains inconclusive. This study investigates why consistent patterns are elusive by estimating and assessing cross‐scale interactions, wherein large‐scale factors contextualize patterns ...

Conflicting Emotions, Environmental and Political Factors in Support for Local Environmental Morality Policies: Evidence From an Experiment on Wild Boars in Haifa

open access: yesEnvironmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can emotional responses help explain public support for local environmental morality policies? As cities increasingly contend with complex interspecies conflicts in densely populated urban settings, understanding the drivers of policy support becomes essential.

Weed management in grain legumes using an intercropping approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Grain legumes benefit the farming system via symbiotic N2 fixation and subsequent residue incorporation contributing to soil fertility together with their effect as break-crop in cereal rich rotations.

Transcriptomic signatures reveal systemic adaptations and immune modulation in response to training and competitive racing in horses

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The molecular mechanisms underlying adaptation to physical exertion and racing stress in horses remain incompletely understood. Peripheral blood transcriptomics offers a minimally invasive method to monitor systemic responses to exercise and identify biomarkers of adaptation or overload. Objectives To evaluate transcriptomic changes

Expansion of the winter moth outbreak range : no restrictive effects of competition with the resident autumnal moth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
1. Both direct and indirect competition can have profound effects on species abundance and expansion rates, especially for a species trying to strengthen a foothold in new areas, such as the winter moth (Operophtera brumata) currently in northernmost ...
