Microclimate, an important part of ecology and biogeography [PDF]

Brief introduction: What are microclimates and why are they important?: Microclimate science has developed into a global discipline. Microclimate science is increasingly used to understand and mitigate climate and biodiversity shifts. Here, we provide an

Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

Population recovery of an endangered macaw enhances long‐distance seed dispersal via stomatochory

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by large, mobile vertebrates plays a key role in shaping plant spatial dynamics and community structure. However, how variation in animal population size influences the magnitude and spatial scale of seed dispersal remains poorly understood.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Microclimate-Controlled Smart Growth Cabinets for High-Throughput Plant Phenotyping

Climate change is driving urgent demand for resilient crop varieties capable of withstanding extreme and changing conditions. Identifying resilient varieties requires systematic plant phenotyping research under controlled conditions, where dynamic ...

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Do Food Availability and Microclimate Determine Bird use of Forest Canopy Gaps?

, 2007
We investigated the influence of arthropod availability and microclimate on avian use of forest canopy gaps in 2002 and 2003. We used mist netting and observation of foraging effort (attack rates) to determine the influence of arthropod abundance on ...

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, EarlyView.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,

Some love them, others hate them: Understanding farmers' tree planting decisions in Scotland

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Agroforestry is increasingly recognized as a sustainable agricultural land use system with potential to sequester carbon, create and repair habitats, enhance biodiversity and offer environmental and socio‐economic benefits, including improved agricultural productivity.
