Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Soil drying induces widespread productivity loss but unequal climate vulnerability among ecotypes of a foundational Arctic sedge

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As temperatures increase in the Arctic, hydrological change may lead to local soil drying through altered snowpack, evapotranspiration and drainage due to permafrost thaw.

Wood anatomical trait correlations with hydraulic efficiency and safety in an aseasonal wet tropical forest

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Xylem anatomy underpins the capacity of trees to transport water while avoiding hydraulic failure, shaping species performance and resilience to climate change. However, the specific ways anatomical traits underpin hydraulic trade‐offs in tropical forests remain debated.

Volatility Transmission between Oil and LME Futures

Applied Economics and Finance, 2018
This paper investigates the volatility transmission between oil and base metals to assess the possibility of hedge strategy across commodity markets. In order to identify the volatility linkage of oil to the base metals, the bivariate GARCH model is applied using daily returns data period over 2000-2016.

TcALS knockdown accelerates metamorphosis via insulin signaling in Tribolium castaneum

Insect Science, EarlyView.
RNAi silencing of TcALS accelerates larva‐to‐pupa metamorphosis in Tribolium castaneum. Abstract Insect metamorphosis is an evolutionary adaptation precisely regulated by nutritional and hormonal cues. The red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum, a major stored‐product pest, serves as an excellent model for studying this process.

Mechanical strength and environmental impacts of eco-self-compacting mortar containing dune sand in the Oued-Souf region of Algeria as cementitious materials

Budownictwo i Architektura
Desertification is a major global problem, while the scarcity of renewable energy sources continues to be a growing concern. Due to the abundance of dune sand in the southern regions of the Algerian Sahara, known as dry zones, and despite the beauty of ...

Institutional Distance and the Lived Experience of Actors in the Contemporary MNC: The Role of Positionality

Human Resource Management Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT International human resource management (IHRM) and its larger sibling of international business (IB) have cross‐fertilized each other for many years. In this paper, we suggest that IHRM research's nuanced appreciation for new patterns of work, such as the increase in internationally integrated work processes and the emergence of global virtual

Adapting to Urban Heights: Multidimensional Gradients Drive Nest‐Selection Plasticity and Trade‐Offs in a Human‐Commensal Sparrow

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Urban Eurasian tree sparrows exhibit pronounced nest‐site plasticity, exploiting vertical building space while preferring lower nest heights when sites are abundant. Nest decisions are driven by altitude and building height rather than other factors, indicating a shift toward anthropogenic resources in cities.
