Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Short communication: Total and leachable phosphorous in urban street tree leaves

Bulletin of the Chemical Society of Ethiopia, 2000
Leaves of different tree species were leached with distilled water (pH 7.0 plus or minus 0.2) and rain water (pH 5.7 plus or minus 0.3) in laboratory glass cylinders to simulate the release of phosphorous (P) pollutant to urban runoff.

Growth inhibition and recovery of Pinus massoniana in Chongqing since the 1980s

Ecological Indicators
Over recent decades, the forest ecosystems of southern China have been substantially affected by acid rain, a principal biogeochemical driver. Despite recent efforts to mitigate acid rain, the long-term adaptive responses of trees of varying ages remain ...

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Global Distribution and Local Variation of Pre-Rain Green-Up in Tropical Dryland

Remote Sensing
Pre-rain green-up is a distinctive phenological phenomenon observed in arid and semi-arid regions, featuring the sprouting of plants before the onset of the rainy season. This phenomenon indicates the intricate controls of vegetation phenology other than

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns
