Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Phylogenetic structure of conifers in regional floras in relation to climate and environmental heterogeneity worldwide

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite having only about 670 species worldwide, conifers are one of the ecologically and economically most important plant groups. They have a rich fossil record and previous studies have shown that their current diversity is the result of past radiations, extinction, and dispersal events, restricting many genera to either the Northern or Southern ...

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

Ecography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Future warming enhances rates of population increase of arthropod crop pests globally

Ecography, EarlyView.
Arthropod herbivores cause severe crop yield losses worldwide. Global warming is expected to shift their ranges, phenologies and performances, highlighting the need for improved forecasts of their potential expansion and impacts on food security. After decades of experimental research on thermal biology of arthropod crop pests, available data and tools

Thermal niche breadth shapes regional elevational range sizes of tropical‐like mountain stream insects: evidence for Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis

Ecography, EarlyView.
The core of Janzen's tropical mountain passes hypothesis is that relatively stable annual temperature variation limits species' thermal tolerances breadth, which, in combination with steep elevational temperature gradients, constrains the elevational distributions of these species. In addition to thermal niche breadth, elevational ranges were shaped by

Public Opinion About Community Participation in Natural Resources Governance: A Population Survey in Indonesia and Malaysia

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The international conservation and natural resources communities have increasingly embraced the principle of community participation. This rhetoric around participation has gained power and influence in setting countries' agendas for natural resources governance, largely without a sound understanding of public opinion on the issues.
