Microbial carbon mineralization in tropical lowland and montane forest soils of Peru [PDF]

, 2016
Climate change is affecting the amount and complexity of plant inputs to tropical forest soils. This is likely to influence the carbon (C) balance of these ecosystems by altering decomposition processes e.g., "positive priming effects" that accelerate ...

Shifts in phenology influence synchrony of flowering plants and their pollinators along an elevation gradient

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.

Rural occupancy in a montane burrowing snake: the importance of thermal and microhabitat resources during the rainy season

Biologia
Thermal and microhabitat resources are two fundamental requirements that affect the life history of any ectotherm. Furthering our understanding of how reptilian species meet these ecological requirements is crucial for assessing the impact of ...

On the spatial clustering of behavioural phenotypes: matching movement tactics with landscape structure in a large herbivore

Oikos, EarlyView.
In the wild, individuals consistently differ in movement and space use behaviours, depending on their personality. This variation can lead to personality–habitat associations and spatial structuring, potentially generating individual niche segregation.
