      Spatial variation in plant chemical defence towards herbivores can help us understand variation in herbivore top–down control of shrubs in the Arctic and possibly also shrub responses to global warming. Less defended, ...
    • distantia: an open-source toolset to quantify dissimilarity between multivariate ecological time-series 

      Benito De Pando, Blas Manuel; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      There is a large array of methods to extract knowledge and perform ecological forecasting from ecological time‐series. However, in spite of its importance for data‐mining, pattern‐matching and ecological synthesis, methods ...
    • Ecological memory at millennial time-scales: the importance of data constraints, species longevity and niche features 

      Benito De Pando, Blas Manuel; Gil-Romera, Graciela; Birks, Harry John Betteley (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Ecological memory describes how antecedent conditions drive the dynamics of an ecological system. Palaeoecological records are paramount to understand ecological memory at millennial time‐scales, but the concept is widely ...
    • More than what they eat: uncoupled biophysical constraints underlie geographic patterns of herbivory 

      Lynn, Joshua Scott; Fridley, Jason D.; Vandvik, Vigdis (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Herbivory rates have classically been hypothesized to decrease from the tropics towards higher latitudes because the more benign abiotic conditions in tropical systems foster greater ecosystem complexity including greater ...
    • Phylogenetic conservatism and biogeographic affinity influence woody plant species richness–climate relationships in eastern Eurasia 

      Su, Xiangyan; Shrestha, Nawal; Xu, Xiaoting; Sandanov, Denis; Wang, Qinggang; Wang, Siyang; Dimitrov, Dimitar; Wang, Zhiheng (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Mechanisms underlying species richness patterns remain a central yet controversial issue in biology. Climate has been regarded as a major determinant of species richness. However, the relative influences of different ...
    • Predator–prey overlap in three dimensions: cod benefit from capelin coming near the seafloor 

      Fall, Johanna Jennifer Elisabeth; Johannesen, Edda; Englund, Göran; Johansen, Geir Odd; Fiksen, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Spatial overlap between predator and prey is a prerequisite for predation, but the degree of overlap is not necessarily proportional to prey consumption. This is because many of the behavioural processes that precede ...
    • Trophic interactions and abiotic factors drive functional and phylogenetic structure of vertebrate herbivore communities across the Arctic tundra biome 

      Speed, James David Mervyn; Skjelbred, Ina Åsnes; Barrio, Isabel C.; Martin, Michael David; Berteaux, Dominique; Bueno, Guillermo; Christie, Katie; Forbes, Bruce C.; Forbey, Jennifer; Fortin, Daniel; Grytnes, John-Arvid; Hoset, Katrine Skamfer; Lecomte, Nicolas; Marteinsdottir, Bryndis; Mosbacher, Jesper Bruun; Pedersen, Åshild Ø.; Ravolainen, Virve; Rees, Eileen C.; Skarin, Anna; Sokolova, Natalya; Thornhill, Andrew H; Tombre, Ingunn; Soininen, Eeva M (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Communities are assembled from species that evolve or colonise a given geographic region, and persist in the face of abiotic conditions and interactions with other species. The evolutionary and colonisation histories of ...
