Varying hydraulic strategies within leaves, stems and roots of coexisting desert shrubs
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Effective and continuous root‐to‐leaf hydraulic transport is crucial for plant survival and growth during drought. However, the capacity to resist hydraulic dysfunction remains understudied in leaves and roots, especially for desert shrubs.

Limited capacity for rapid acclimation to marine heatwaves in coastal invertebrates
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Across 10 coastal invertebrate species, we provide a rare multi‐species test of rapid acclimation to realistic marine heatwaves. Responses are consistently weak, revealing that short‐term plasticity cannot keep pace with warming and may lead to underestimated vulnerability in coastal ecosystems. Abstract Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study introduces validated methods to predict sex ratios in wild Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests. It quantifies beach‐scale temperature heterogeneity, incorporates clutch‐level variation in thermal sensitivity and models temperature effects across the thermosensitive period, demonstrating how temporal temperature dynamics and spatial ...
