Warming effects on the early decomposition of three litter types, Eastern Tibetan Plateau, China

, 2012
Temperature and litter quality are two of the key factors controlling litter decomposition. Predicted global warming and vegetation succession will therefore have profound impacts.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

High thermal plasticity, low heritability and constant directional selection on breeding phenology in a viviparous ectotherm

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our findings reveal that breeding phenology of the common lizard is shaped by strong thermal plasticity, body size effects, constant selection for earlier parturition, but low heritability. This suggests that phenological responses to climate change in this species, and likely in other squamates, will predominantly arise through plastic rather than ...

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

Home foreclosure discounts in auctions without reserve prices

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article estimates foreclosure discounts in Cape Town, South Africa, where, until 2019, foreclosure auctions occurred without reserve prices. Using newly constructed data linking sheriff auction notices to the universe of property transactions, rich property characteristics, and municipal service‐request records, I document large ...
