Ecological Research, EarlyView.Conifers adapt to high‐latitude regions with narrow crowns, while broadleaf trees form spherical crowns in low‐latitude areas. This study utilized the Spatially Explicit Individual‐Based Dynamic Global Vegetation Model to analyze the impact of crown morphology on competition and ecosystem productivity.

Ecological Research, EarlyView.We present the overwintering foraging tactics adopted by the sika deer recently established in a heavy snowfall region of northern Japan. We found that sedentary deer adopted risk‐averse foraging by switching their dietary compositions to readily available foods under different snow conditions. In particular, when facing extreme snowfall, they depended

Ecological Research, EarlyView.Industrial oil palm plantations threaten biodiversity in Southeast Asia, yet some native species are highly adaptable within these environments. Our study tracked four male leopard cats (Prionailurus javanensis) with GPS collars in the Kinabatangan floodplain, Sabah, revealing average home ranges of 8.60 km² (95% MCP) and 5.39 km² (95% a‐LoCoH), with ...

Ecological Research, EarlyView.The defensive function of mutualistic ants for the Reverdin's Blue butterfly against two groups of parasitoids (tachinid flies and mermithid nematodes) differs among ant species, and this is affected by the number of precipitation days in the larval period of the butterfly.

Ecological Research, EarlyView.In this study, we report that the distinction between pattern‐ and process‐oriented approaches in community ecology is often ambiguous, as revealed through a literature review. We identify three key factors—researchers' interests, methods, and views on significance—that shape the perception and evaluation of these approaches. Our findings highlight the

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Seed size/number trade‐off is a central topic in plant biology as it reflects ecological and evolutionary aspects of the species. Here we report the absence of a trade‐off mass/number of seeds and fruits in a polyspermic plant probably associated to abortion of self‐pollinated pistils and flowers.

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on
