Long-term hydrological monitoring in arid-semiarid Almería, SE Spain. What have we learned?

Cuadernos de Investigación Geográfica, 2018
A combination of high temporal variability and spatial heterogeneity of rainfall, soil surfaces, and plant cover is the cause of the complex hydrological response in arid/semiarid regions.

Scaling from microsite to landscape to resolve litter decomposition dynamics in globally extensive drylands

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Decomposition is the transformation of dead organic matter into its inorganic constituents. In most biomes, decomposition rates can be accurately predicted with simple mathematical models, but these models have long under‐predicted decomposition in globally extensive ...

Weed flora in forage maize fields as an attraction for entomophagous insects

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Phytosanitary problems, particularly insect pests, frequently threaten forage maize crops. However, spontaneous weed flora associated with these crops may provide key ecological functions by hosting entomophagous insects that contribute to ...

A response to ‘Quantifying phenotypic plasticity at multiple levels—A comment on Gómez et al.’

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In this reply, we clarify several conceptual misunderstandings raised in response to our Perspective on quantifying phenotypic plasticity. We emphasize that our central argument concerns the rigorous estimation of the magnitude of plasticity, rather than its mere ...

Harnessing iEcology data to uncover invasive species behaviour

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Invasive animal species threaten ecosystems, biodiversity and human livelihoods. Behavioural traits such as boldness, exploratory tendencies, learning ability and social interactions are known to influence invasion success. Yet these behavioural traits remain underexplored due to challenges in observing behaviour across large spatial and ...

Runoff Reconstructions and Future Projections Indicate Highly Variable Water Supply From Pacific Rim Water Towers

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Anthropogenic climate change affects regional hydrological cycles and poses significant challenges to the sustainable supply of freshwater. The Central China water tower (CCWT) is the key source region feeding the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, and its runoff is indispensable for the surrounding mega‐city clusters. Here we present a reconstruction
