How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Soil moisture partitioning strategies in blowouts in the Hulunbeier grassland and response to rainfall

Frontiers in Environmental Science
IntroductionSoil moisture and soil water retention capacity are key influencing factors for the normal growth and development of vegetation. Understanding the dynamic change characteristics of soil moisture in blowouts and soil water retention capacity is of great significance for the management of blowouts.MethodsThis study employs drying and in situ ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Recent changes in rainfall patterns alter precipitation partitioning in European beech forest

Environmental Research Communications
Climate change models suggest increasing rain variability in Europe with hypothesized cascading effects on ecosystems. However, model results are inconsistent, coarse and lack empirical data.

Do High Temperatures Affect Firm Demography? Evidence From Italy

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study analyses the impact of high temperatures and heat stress on Italian firm demography during 2009–2022. Combining provincial‐firm‐level data with a high‐resolution multidecadal meteorological dataset, we investigate whether high temperatures—absolute and anomalous—affect firm entry and exit rates.

The Role of Vadose Zone Storage Deficits in Modulating Groundwater Recharge and Streamflow in Seasonally Dry Watersheds

Water Resources Research
In forested, seasonally dry watersheds, winter rains commonly replenish water storage deficits in the vadose zone before recharging underlying hillslope groundwater systems that sustain streamflow.
