Juan Traine, Florian P. Schiestl, Quint Rusman This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. To survive, plants need to constantly adapt to a ch…

Doctoral Candidate (PhD) in plant community ecology

Drought threatens forests worldwide, but bedrock effects are overlooked. This study suggests that bedrock lithology reverses demographic drought responses in karst forests, leaving younger and smaller...

Our journal club has a (relatively) new feature

The University of Gothenburg tackles society’s challenges with diverse knowledge. 58 000 students and 6800 employees make the university a large and inspiring place to work and study. Strong research ...

AbstractBackground and Aims. Secondary sex ratios in dioecious plant species often deviate from the expected 1:1 primary male-to-female ratio due to differ

In a new study, researchers established an accurate methodology for tracking, measuring, and forecasting pollen dispersal of genetically engineered switchgrass at both the ground and atmospheric level...

The University of Alaska Southeast invites applications for a postdoctoral associate in glaciology for a project aimed at constraining uncertainty in glacier outburst flood models. Mendenhall Glacier,...

Sign up for the opportunity to write and/or edit for The American Naturalist! We are seeking authors to write press releases for new journal articles. See examples of recent press releases here. We a...

As the world faces the twin crises of climate change and biodiversity loss, researchers are trying to understand how to restore degraded forests to most effectively sequester carbon, benefit…

Incorporation of evolutionary theory into experimental investigations of natural populations was important to the development of plant ecology. We review the prominent role grasses (Poaceae) have play...

The results indicate that successful restoration of grassland vegetation and butterflies is strongly linked. To fully restore target butterfly assemblages, future grassland restoration should aim to ....

Common (and commonly ignored) problems in spatial analysis.

Many statisticians have had the experience of fitting a linear model with uncorrelated errors, then adding a spatially-correlated error term (random effect) and finding that the estimates of the f...

Divergent regional trends in alpine tundra productivity linked to changes in snow-free season length and summer warming, Moore, Miles A., Emery, Nancy C., Elmendorf, Sarah C.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the designation of Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni, protecting nearly one million acres of sacred Indigenous land and critical wildlife habitat from extractive industries.

Background Soil microbiota are key players of terrestrial ecosystem functioning, including decomposition, soil organic matter formation, and nutrient cycling, and interact strongly with plants in the ...
