Abstract:
... Plasticity in life history traits is commonly used to explain the invasion success of social insects. While intraspecific plasticity is often recognized, interspecific variability is easily overlooked, whereby different species exhibit different strategies. The presence of many queens per colony and the collapse of colony boundaries have favored invasiveness for many ant species. However, these st ...

Abstract:
... Warning coloration deters predators from attacking unpalatable prey, and is often characterized by long-wavelength colors, such as orange and red. However, warning colors in nature are more diverse and include short-wavelength colors, like blue. Blue has evolved as a primary defense in some animals but is not common. One hypothesis for the maintenance of this diversity is interspecific variation i ...

Abstract:
... The role of the human-made structures in coastal ecosystems can determine the spatial distribution or patterns of spatial abundances of marine organisms. To contribute to the understanding of linkages between different components of habitats (i.e. natural and artificial structures), we explored the role of type of larval development (planktotrophic vs. non-planktotrophic) on patterns of spatial va ...

Abstract:
... Vegetation states in savannas are highly sensitive to tree growth rates, which determine whether individual trees can “escape” periodic disturbances. Resprouting trees have lopsided shoot:root ratios and are often multi‐stemmed, and these variables can modify post‐disturbance growth rates and therefore the probability of escape. To date, few studies have systematically examined the implications of ...

Daphnia, keystone herbivores in lakes, routinely produce immediately hatching eggs; additionally, they also produce resting eggs enveloped by an ephippial case, a thickened carapace that allows population survival under harsh environmental conditions. To examine differences in ephippial morphology between Daphnia species in different subgenera, we conducted microscopic observations and genetic ana ...

Ecological risk assessments of substances with limited ecotoxicity datasets typically employ an assessment factor (AF) method to determine a predicted no-effect concentration (PNEC) needed for risk characterization. A PNEC is usually derived by dividing the lowest toxicity value in the substance’s dataset by a certain assessment factor. The AF method, in its various iterations, has been used for d ...

We are putting forward a new hypothesis that an important advantage of the herbaceous growth form lies in its greater capacity for plastic response to neighbour shading. Since most herbs form abovegr ...

Abstract:
... Because most emerging human pathogens originate in mammals, many studies aim to identify host traits that determine the risk of sourcing zoonotic outbreaks. Studies regularly assert that 'fast-lived' mammal species exhibiting greater fecundity and shorter lifespans tend to host more zoonoses; however, the causes of this association remain poorly understood and they cover a range of immune and noni ...
