Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

The Edification of Manuela Xiqués: Slavery, Finance, Biography, and the Construction of Modern Barcelona

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An analysis of the dual biographies, economic and domestic, of Manuela Xiqués, an enslaver from nineteenth‐century Cuba and Spain, deepens our understanding of the role of European and Creole women in the nineteenth‐century Atlantic. This essay foregrounds the role of literature, namely family biography, as a locus of the processes of ...
