Evolutionary legacies structure the geography of seagrass traits across the world's oceans

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Traits modulate species' ability to track shifts in climate, yet the extent to which traits have been shaped by the contemporary environment and/or historical processes remains poorly understood. Here, we fill this gap for the world's seagrasses, habitat‐forming species that provide critical ecosystem services.

Effects of restoration on macrophyte and macroinvertebrate ecological status and biodiversity in lowland streams in Denmark

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Habitat restoration is applied to promote ecological recovery in degraded freshwater systems. However, it remains unclear whether stream restoration measures enhance Water Framework Directive (WFD) ecological status and biodiversity.

Ecosystem recovery in restored saltmarshes detected through invertebrate communities

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Saltmarsh ecosystems support rich biodiversity and provide key ecosystem services. Invertebrate communities underpin essential processes such as nutrient cycling and decomposition. However, saltmarshes have been widely degraded by land use change.

The Dynamics of Nestedness Predicts the Evolution of Industrial Ecosystems

, 2020
Decades of research in ecology have shown that nestedness is a ubiquitous characteristic of both, biological and economic ecosystems. The dynamics of nestedness, however, have rarely been observed.

Data from: "Disentangling nestedness" disentangled

, 2013
Analytical research indicates that the ‘nestedness’ of mutualistic networks facilitates the coexistence of species by minimizing the costs of competition relative to the benefits of facilitation. In contrast, James et al.

Addressing Uncertainties in Climate–Ecosystem Feedbacks in the Arctic: Ten Priority Research Questions for Integrated Observation and Modeling

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 4, July 2026.
Uncertainties exist in the biosphere–climate feedbacks in the Arctic. Remote and ground measurements play complementary roles in detecting possible changes. A critical next step is identification of key drivers of the global changes for future projections. ABSTRACT Positive biosphere–climate feedbacks are likely to amplify the Arctic warming, yet major

Synthetic matrix ensemble for nestedness analysis

, 2015
README====== The data and code in this dataset was used to evaluate nestedness measures and null models (Beckett and Williams, submitted). 500 initial 'perfectly nested' matrices were created using Latin hypercube sampling to choose the number of rows [5,

Geographical patterns and partition of turnover and richness components of beta-diversity in faunas from Tocantins river valley

Brazilian Journal of Biology
There has been a resurging interest in patterns of β-diversity, especially by the mechanisms driving broad-scale, continental and global patterns, and how partitioning β-diversity into richness (or nestedness) and turnover components can be linked with ...

Is There Life After Death? The Role of Standing Dead Phorophytes in Supporting Tropical Epiphyte Diversity

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Global increases in tree mortality from climate change and land‐use are altering forest structures, impacting canopy‐dwelling plants like vascular epiphytes, which depend on host trees (phorophytes). When a phorophyte dies standing, it becomes a snag, the local substrate conditions change and microclimatic exposure may increase, particularly ...

Uneven abundances determine nestedness in climbing plant-host interaction networks [PDF]

, 2017
Nestedness is a common pattern in interaction networks. However, its ecological and evolutionary meaning is under debate. Evidence shows that nestedness in mutualistic networks may be just a consequence of the species–abundance distribution.
