Varying hydraulic strategies within leaves, stems and roots of coexisting desert shrubs

open access: yesFunctional 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.

Stem water content predicts drought‐induced mortality in tropical semiarid species

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hydraulic Failure is one of the primary mechanisms underlying plant mortality during drought. Hydraulic failure occurs when the plant's xylem, under water stress, crosses a critical percentage of loss of xylem hydraulic conductivity (PLC) threshold, which causes the ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

Spatial Patterns of Avian Stable Isotopes Reveal Ecological Impacts of Climate and Land‐Use Change

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Increased feather δ15N values with pasture coverage reveal an elevated baseline δ15N in grazing landscapes, while broader isotopic niches in farmland habitats reflect agricultural expansion's significant influence on resource use patterns of the avian community.

Variations in leaf stomatal density and distribution of 53 vine species in Japan

open access: yes, 2008
To determine variations in stomatal density and distribution in individual leaves of vine species with different growth/life forms and different habitat types, we quantified and compared leaf-area-based stomatal density, epidermal cell density and ...
