Bryophytes dominate plant regulation of soil microclimate in alpine grasslands
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Soil temperature and moisture are important regulators of a broad range of biotic and abiotic processes in terrestrial ecosystems. Vegetation can, in turn, play a role in regulating soil microclimate, which creates potential ... -
Coastal heathland vegetation is surprisingly resistant to experimental drought across successional stages and latitude
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)In the last decade, several major dwarf-shrub dieback events have occurred in northern European coastal heathlands. These dieback events occur after extended periods with sub-zero temperatures under snow-free conditions ... -
Fish resist temptation from junk food: state-dependent diet choice in reproductive Atlantic cod Gadus morhua facing seasonal fluxes of lipid-rich prey
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In ecological sciences, animal diets are often simplified to ‘resources' or ‘caloric quantities'. However, in the present study, we investigated the optimal foraging strategy of Atlantic cod Gadus morhua when both macro- ... -
Habitat preferences and functional traits drive longevity in Himalayan high-mountain plants
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Plant lifespan has important evolutionary, physiological, and ecological implications related to population persistence, community stability, and resilience to ongoing environmental change impacts. Although biologists have ... -
Inter-specific aggression generates ant mosaics in canopies of primary tropical rainforest
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The ant mosaic is a concept of the non-random spatial distribution of individual ant species in trees built upon the assumption of interspecific behavioural associations. However, colony identity and environmental variance ... -
Interspecific differences in root foraging precision cannot be directly inferred from species' mycorrhizal status or fine root economics
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Nutrient acquisition in plants can be represented by a suite of intercorrelated root traits such as root diameter, nitrogen content, root tissue density and specific root length. However, it is unclear how a plant's ability ...
