Shrubs benefit from being functionally more conservative and distinct from neighbour trees

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Multi‐strata forests can enhance ecosystem functioning, with interactions between overstorey trees and understorey shrubs playing a pivotal role. However, how the structure and composition of neighbouring trees, together with shrub traits, influence shrub growth remains

Zinc accumulation in fiddler crabs Uca annulipes latreille and Uca triangularis (milne edwards)

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 1989
The effect of exposure time and concentration on the tissue-specific accumulation of Zn in two fiddler crabs, Uca annulipes and Uca triangularis, obtained from polluted (Visakhapatnam Harbor) and unpolluted (Bhimilipatnam) areas was studied. Hepatopancreas registered major accumulation of Zn when the crabs were exposed to sublethal concentrations (6.38

Water Use Behavior of Individual Birds: Ring Ouzels in an Arid High‐Mountain Ecosystem

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Water is a limiting resource for birds in arid ecosystems. Individual birds differ strongly in how they use shared water sources, with drinking behavior increasing with temperature. Behavioral differences, hierarchy, and social context ultimately shape unequal access to water within the population. ABSTRACT Water availability strongly constrains animal
