Shrubs inhibit plant diseases by intercepting light in alpine meadows

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change is disproportionately impacting mountain ecosystems, leading to widespread shrub expansion into alpine meadows. Shrub encroachment alters the albedo, carbon budget and warming rate in alpine grasslands, but it remains challenging to predict how shrub ...

Generation cycles in experimental populations of a multivoltine insect

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Although theory suggests various mechanisms by which environmental and ecological factors may drive generational fluctuations, our field‐cage experiment is the first to demonstrate how internal dynamics and external disturbances jointly produce synchronised, large‐scale outbreak cycles.

Functional response predicts invasiveness but not trophic impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This comparative analysis challenges the current paradigm that pre‐invasion functional response magnitude serves as a reliable predictor of post‐invasion ecological impact and highlights the need to distinguish between pre‐adaptation in native ranges and realized performance in invaded ecosystems.

The contribution of the humanities to the theory and practice of public administration in the 21st century

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This Forum Article integrates a range of four contributions which are all underpinned by the conviction that the rediscovery of the humanities may be beneficial to the field of public administration. The first piece examines the contribution that philosophy, as a key discipline of the humanities, can provide to the field of public ...
