The oxygen and pressure physiology of upper elevational range limits in insects

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is widely expected to cause montane insects to shift upslope, and there is good evidence that some populations are doing so. Nevertheless, patterns are mixed—with evidence supporting upslope, downslope or even no movement of both lower and upper range ...

Resilience in the heights: Elevational filtering preserves taxonomic and functional beta diversity over time against biotic homogenization

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Environmental heterogeneity generates taxonomic and functional beta diversity, but a key question regards whether heterogeneity can maintain functional diversity when global change causes range shifts, potentially causing biotic homogenization by favouring species ...

Context‐dependent joint buffering of abiotic stress by parental care and sibling interactions

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of the 21st century, increasing global temperatures and the occurrence of extreme events, such as heatwaves, cold snaps, floods or droughts.

Functional trait modules link climatic niche geometry to projected range change in global butterflies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is redistributing insects, but species‐level projections alone rarely show which functional strategies are most exposed or how traits are linked to climatic niche structure.

Understanding natal emigration in group‐living carnivores

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Dispersal is a key ecological and evolutionary process, yet drivers of variation in emigration under human‐modified conditions remain understudied. Using a novel genetic approach applied to harvested grey wolves in Idaho, USA, we found that prey availability and population density shape natal emigration patterns in a cooperative breeder.
