Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Potential Correlation Between Bombus lantschouensis Thoracic Morphology and Flight Behavior

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Potential correlation between Bombus lantschouensis thoracic morphology and flight behavior. ABSTRACT Remarkably little modern work has investigated the thoracic structures of insects and their relationship to flight locomotion. Most studies focus exclusively on either morphology or flight kinematics.

Hydrology of tropical montane cloud forests: A Reassessment [PDF]

open access: yes
Extending an earlier review of the literature (Bruijnzeel and Proctor, 1995), this paper incorporates the results obtained by post-1993 hydrological and hydrometeorological studies in tropical montane cloud forests (TMCF) situated mostly in Latin America

New records and additions to the hepatic flora of Uganda 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
82 liverwort taxa are recorded from Uganda, of which 24 are new to the flora of the country. Colura hedbergiana, Colura kilimanjarica and Harpalejeunea fischeri found on Mt. Elgon, were previously known only from their type locality on Mt. Kilimanjaro or

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...
