Why do sea turtle nests fail? Modeling clutch loss across the southeastern United States
Abstract Understanding the relative influence of environmental conditions and disturbance types on species' nest success is imperative to our estimation of current and future population trajectories of vulnerable species, especially ectotherms. The reproductive output of oviparous species is highly dependent on the location of a nest in terms of the ...

On the evolution of trophic position
We discuss the sources of intraspecific variation in trophic position and highlight that variation among individuals is not only determined by the food web context but also by genetic factors underpinning associated fitness‐relevant traits. We argue that trophic position, measured at the individual level, can be studied as a heritable quantitative ...

Connectivity: insights from the U.S. Long Term Ecological Research Network
Abstract Ecosystems across the United States are changing in complex and surprising ways. Ongoing demand for critical ecosystem services requires an understanding of the populations and communities in these ecosystems in the future. This paper represents a synthesis effort of the U.S.
