Cadmium (Cd) concentrations in Antarctic marine organisms are much higher than expected for such a remote, pristine environment. Bioaccumulation is principally due to water circulation and upwelling, as well as the nutrient-like behaviour of Cd in areas ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Life history attributes influencing metabolic variation in an estuarine fish
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Considering that energy availability and oxygen transport potential are limited in supplying metabolic requirements, all animals face trade‐offs between competing metabolic demands.

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Most current terrestrial biogeochemical models formalize biogeochemical cycling as predominantly controlled by processes involving plants and soil microbes. However, growing evidence indicates that above‐ground animals could exert controlling feedback effects that alter

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric
