    • Long-term trajectories of non-native vegetation on islands globally 

      Walentowitz, Anna; Lenzner, Bernd; Essl, Franz; Strandberg, Nichola; Castilla-Beltrán, Alvaro; Fernández-Palacios, José María; Björck, Svante; Connor, Simon; Haberle, Simon G.; Ljung, Karl; Prebble, Matiu; Wilmshurst, Janet M.; Froyd, Cynthia A.; de Boer, Erik J.; de Nascimento, Lea; Edwards, Mary E.; Stevenson, Janelle; Beierkuhnlein, Carl; Steinbauer, Manuel; Nogué, Sandra (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Human-mediated changes in island vegetation are, among others, largely caused by the introduction and establishment of non-native species. However, data on past changes in non-native plant species abundance that predate ...

    • Mammalian herbivores restrict the altitudinal range limits of alpine plants. 

      Lynn, Joshua Scott; Miller, Tom E.X.; Rudgers, Jennifer A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Although rarely experimentally tested, biotic interactions have long been hypothesised to limit low-elevation range boundaries of species. We tested the effects of herbivory on three alpine-restricted plant species by ...

    • A quantitative framework for identifying the role of individual species in Nature's Contributions to People 

      Bianco, Giovanni; Manning, Peter; Schleuning, Matthias (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      It is widely acknowledged that biodiversity change is affecting human well-being by altering the supply of Nature's Contributions to People (NCP). Nevertheless, the role of individual species in this relationship remains ...

    • Reading tea leaves worldwide: Decoupled drivers of initial litter decomposition mass-loss rate and stabilization 

      Sarneel, Judith M.; Hefting, Mariet M.; Sandén, Taru; van den Hoogen, Johan; Routh, Devin; Adhikari, Bhupendra S.; Alatalo, Juha M.; Aleksanyan, Alla; Althuizen, Inge; Alsafran, Mohammed H S A; Atkins, Jeff W.; Augusto, Laurent; Aurela, Mika; Azarov, Aleksej V.; Barrio, Isabel C.; Beier, Claus; Bejarano, María D; Benham, Sue E.; Berg, Björn; Bezler, Nadezhda V.; Björnsdóttir, Katrín; Bolinder, Martin A.; Carbognani, Michele; Cazzolla Gatti, Roberto; Chelli, Stefano; Chistotin, Maxim V.; Christiansen, Casper Tai; Courtois, Pascal; Crowther, Thomas W.; Dechoum, Michele S.; Djukic, Ika; Duddigan, Sarah; Egerton-Warburton, Louise M.; Fanin, Nicolas; Fantappiè, Maria; Fares, Silvano; Fernandes, Geraldo W.; Filippova, Nina V.; Fliessbach, Andreas; Fuentes, David; Godoy, Roberto; Grünwald, Thomas; Guzmán, Gema; Hawes, Joseph; He, Yue; Hero, Jean-Marc; Hess, Laura L.; Hogendoorn, Katja; Høye, Toke T.; Jans, Wilma W P; Jónsdóttir, Ingibjörg S; Keller, Sabina; Kepfer-Rojas, Sebastian; Kuz'menko, Natalya N.; Larsen, Klaus S.; Laudon, Hjalmar; Lembrechts, Jonas J.; Li, Junhui; Limousin, Jean-Marc; Lukin, Sergey M.; Marques, Renato; Marín, César; McDaniel, Marshall D.; Meek, Qi; Merzlaya, Genrietta E.; Michelsen, Anders; Montagnani, Leonardo; Mueller, Peter; Murugan, Rajasekaran; Myers-Smith, Isla H.; Nolte, Stefanie; Ochoa-Hueso, Raúl; Okafor, Bernard N.; Okorkov, Vladimir V.; Onipchenko, Vladimir G.; Orozco, María C; Parkhurst, Tina; Peres, Carlos A.; Petit Bon, Matteo; Petraglia, Alessandro; Pingel, Martin; Rebmann, Corinna; Scheffers, Brett R.; Schmidt, Inger; Scholes, Mary C.; Sheffer, Efrat; Shevtsova, Lyudmila K.; Smith, Stuart; Sofo, Adriano; Stevenson, Pablo R.; Strouhalová, Barbora; Sundsdal, Anders; Sühs, Rafael B.; Tamene, Gebretsadik; Thomas, Haydn J D; Tolunay, Duygu; Tomaselli, Marcello; Tresch, Simon; Tucker, Dominique L.; Ulyshen, Michael D.; Valdecantos, Alejandro; Vandvik, Vigdis; Vanguelova, Elena I.; Verheyen, Kris; Wang, Xuhui; Yahdjian, Laura; Yumashev, Xaris S.; Keuskamp, Joost A. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      The breakdown of plant material fuels soil functioning and biodiversity. Currently, process understanding of global decomposition patterns and the drivers of such patterns are hampered by the lack of coherent large-scale ...

    • Simple models combining competition, defence and resource availability have broad implications in pelagic microbial food webs 

      Våge, Selina; Bratbak, Gunnar; Egge, Jorun Karin; Heldal, Mikal; Larsen, Aud; Norland, Svein; Paulsen, Maria Lund; Pree, Bernadette; Sandaa, Ruth-Anne; Skjoldal, Evy Foss; Tsagaraki, Tatiana Margo; Øvreås, Lise; Thingstad, T. Frede (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-09)
      In food webs, interactions between competition and defence control the partitioning of limiting resources. As a result, simple models of these interactions contain links between biogeochemistry, diversity, food web structure ...

    • Spatial covariance of herbivorous and predatory guilds of forest canopy arthropods along a latitudinal gradient 

      Mottl, Ondřej; Fibich, Pavel; Klimes, Petr; Volf, Martin; Tropek, Robert; Anderson-Teixeira, Kristina; Auga, John; Blair, Thomas; Butterill, Phil; Carscallen, Grace; Gonzalez-Akre, Erika; Goodman, Aaron; Kaman, Ondřej; Lamarre, Greg PA; Libra, Martin; Losada, Maria E.; Manumbor, Markus; Miller, Scott E.; Molem, Kenneth; Nichols, Geoffrey; Plowman, Nichola S.; Redmond, Conor; Seifert, Carlo L.; Vrana, Jan; Weiblen, George D.; Novotny, Vojtech (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      In arthropod community ecology, species richness studies tend to be prioritised over those investigating patterns of abundance. Consequently, the biotic and abiotic drivers of arboreal arthropod abundance are still relatively ...
