Scale‐dependent variation in leaf functional traits clarifies mechanisms of invasion
Comparing the functional traits of co‐occurring native and invasive plant species can offer insight regarding mechanisms of invasion. Previous studies have failed to reach a consensus, indicating that the extent of trait differences between native and invasives might depend on the environmental context and on the spatial grain of the analysis.

Relative to its size, tropical Asia is likely to be the richest region in terms of biodiversity. However, the factors of species diversity formation and maintenance in Southeast (SE) Asia and neighboring regions remain poorly understood. Here we infer the evolutionary relationships within psilodercid spiders by incorporating fossil information into a ...

An invasive pathogen generally contracts species to their niche cores, not margins
Quantifying how species' distributions contract in response to threats can reveal pathways of decline and the role of environmental conditions in moderating threat impacts. Two general patterns of niche contraction have been described: ecological marginalization, where species contract away from threat impacts to peripheral, sub‐optimal areas of their ...

Trade‐offs relating to resource acquisition and conservation, reproduction and longevity generate considerable trait variation among co‐occurring tree species, yet little is known about how the nature and strength of these trade‐offs shift along gradients of resource availability.
