Total herbivore exclusion alters plant species dominance and trait expression in endangered grassy woodlands. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Herbivores are important drivers of plant community composition and dominance in grassy ecosystems, yet few studies have attempted to understand how different types of herbivores impact plant dominance and function. This study examined the biomass of dominant grass species and other plant functional groups after 3 years of nested herbivore ...

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on
