How species associate with each other and other co-ocurrence patterns have been studied by Mahi Puri and colleagues along the west coast of India. Read the new Early View paper here: " Multi-scale patterns in co-occurrence of rocky inter-tidal gastropods along the west...
Climate change and plant movements and invasions was discussed during the ESA-meeting 2011. The result - a Forum paper is now published online in Oikos: "Movement, impacts and management of plant distributions in response to climate change: insights from invasions" by...
Do bold individuals have higher metabolic rates? Find out in the new Early View paper "Personality and basal metabolic rate in a wild bird population" by Sandra Bouwhuis and co-workers. Here's Sandra's short summary of the study: Like humans, individuals of many...
How can we provide the best circumstances for our kids? The new Oikos Early View paper "Adaptive transgenerational plasticity in the perennial Plantago lanceolata" , by Vit Latzel and co-workers, deals with this issue - in plants. Read Vit's story here: Imagine that...
The introduction of non-native plants usually invokes a wave of pessimism among biologists. Some of these introduced plants can invade natural ecosystems where they can cause tremendous problems. And to make matters worse, it is very difficult to predict much about the...
Now online: " Increased temperature alters feeding behavior of a generalist herbivore" by Nathan P. Lemoine and co-workers. Read more about how an increased temperature may affect plant growth and herbivory: Temperature plays a crucial role in determining ecological...
How interference competition affect population dynamics is explored in the new Early View paper in Oikos "Linked exploitation and interference competition drives the variable behavior of a classic predator–prey system" by John P. DeLong and David Vasseur. Here's John's...
What should be included in the term "Invasive species"? In the new Early View Forum paper "Another call for the end of invasion biology", Loic Valery discusses the issue. Here is a short summary of the paper: The bulk of the literature devoted to biological invasions...
Size is not all! Even small herbivores have effect on plant community, as shown in Salvador Rebollo and co-workers new Early View paper shows: "Disproportionate effects of non-colonial small herbivores on structure and diversity of grassland dominated by large...
In the new Early View paper "Trait-mediated indirect interactions in a marine intertidal system as quantified by functional responses" , Mhairi E. Alexander and co-workers, have studied how factors as habitat compelxity affect predators and how the predators effect...
