Tree diversity reduces variability in sapling survival under drought
Charlotte Grossiord, Jingjing Liang, Xiaojuan Liu
Enhancing tree diversity may be important to fostering resilience to drought-related climate extremes. So far, little attention has been given to whether tree diversity can increase the survival of trees and reduce its variability in young forest plantatio ...
Wiley2024Drosophila melanogaster cloak their eggs with pheromones, which prevents cannibalism
Yury Tsybin, Laure Menin, Konstantin Nagornov
Oviparous animals across many taxa have evolved diverse strategies that deter egg predation, providing valuable tests of how natural selection mitigates direct fitness loss. Communal egg laying in nonsocial species minimizes egg predation. However, in cann ...
PUBLIC LIBRARY SCIENCE2019A minimalist model of extinction and range dynamics of virtual mountain species driven by warming temperatures
Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Damiano Pasetto, Jonathan Giezendanner
A longstanding question in ecology concerns the prediction of the fate of mountain species under climate change, where climatic and geomorphic factors but also endogenous species characteristics are jointly expected to control species distributions. A sign ...
2019The ultimate and proximate mechanisms driving the evolution of long tails in forest deer mice
Understanding both the role of selection in driving phenotypic change and its underlying genetic basis remain major challenges in evolutionary biology. Here, we use modern tools to revisit a classic system of local adaptation in the North American deer mou ...
Wiley2017Intensive travel time: an obligation or a choice?
This paper explores what prompts some individuals to spend a significant amount of time travelling. In the literature, travel time tends to be regarded as useless, unproductive time and, in some cases, as the worst time of the day. The actual behaviour of ...
