Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Zero Deforestation Commitments and Industry 4.0 Enabling Technologies: An Analysis of Their Role in Mitigating Deforestation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines the role of corporate zero‐deforestation commitments (ZDCs) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) enabling technologies in mitigating deforestation. Drawing on data from 110 companies included in the Forest 500 dataset, the research explores whether sustainability commitments and digital innovation influence firms' deforestation ...

Leguminous and gramineous plant silages display unique characteristics of bacterial community ecology

Environmental Microbiome
Background Silage is the most important part of a ruminant diet and is also a renewable feedstock. Leguminous and gramineous plants are the main materials used to make silage. However, the general characteristics of silage fermentation and the mechanisms
