Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Seasonal Dynamics of Soil Multitrophic Biodiversity, Co‐Occurrence Network and Assembly Mechanisms Under Typical Vegetation Restoration Patterns in Karst Region

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies often overlooked the dynamic effects of karst vegetation restoration on soil multi‐trophic biodiversity and the underlying community‐assembly mechanisms. To fill this gap, we performed a seasonal comparative analysis of soil biodiversity, co‐occurrence network architecture, and assembly processes across three representative ...

Conducting Luxury Research: Methodological Foundations and Standards

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The field of luxury research has grown rapidly in recent years, corresponding to the economic importance of the luxury industry. Despite this, the luxury field lacks established methodological foundations for rigorous luxury research. This is particularly problematic as a core tenet of luxury research is that luxury differs from other sectors ...

Food Web of Icy Strait, Alaska: Comparison of Position, Size, and Overlap of Trophic Niche Among Fish Species

, 2023
The Icy Strait of southeast Alaska, USA is an ideal system to study how ecological diversity is maintained. This area has historical ecological significance and supports diverse assemblages of fish species that are easily sampled.

Asynchronous population trends stabilize mesopredatory coral reef fish communities in the face of global change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can underpin stability in communities, allowing them to withstand environmental fluctuations without changes in aggregate properties like total abundance or biomass. We investigated the influence of biodiversity on two crucial population‐level mechanisms governing abundance stability in mesopredatory coral reef fishes: 1) ‘community ...

Alike but still different: coexistence of four raptor species explained by breeding habitat segregation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

The Influence of Habitat Heterogeneity and Human Disturbance on Trophic Interactions of Sebastiscus marmoratus and Scorpaenopsis cirrosa in Wanshan Archipelago

Ecology and Evolution
Habitat heterogeneity and human disturbances drive variations in interspecific interactions among fish species. Trophic niche analysis is a crucial approach for understanding these interactions.

Land use extent and intensity affect the trophic structure of apex fish in neotropical lagoons

Water Biology and Security
The conversion of natural ecosystems to human land use is a primary cause of worldwide biodiversity loss and trophic structure changes in ecosystems. We investigated the effect of human land use at different spatial extents and aquatic trophic state on ...

Projected Climate Change Effects on Nuthatch Distribution and Diversity Across Asia [PDF]

, 2009
We used ecological niche modeling approaches to explore climate change implications for one family of birds, the Sittidae, in Asia. Quantitative niche models based on present-day distributions for each of 13 species were projected onto future climate ...
