1. The Future of Complementarity: Disentangling Causes from Consequences

Abstract:
... Evidence suggests that biodiversity supports ecosystem functioning. Yet, the mechanisms driving this relationship remain unclear. Complementarity is one common explanation for these positive biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships. Yet, complementarity is often indirectly quantified as overperformance in mixture relative to monoculture (e.g., ‘complementarity effect’). This overperformanc ...

Abstract:
... Timberlake (1993) proposed that much learning research can be better understood in the context of behavior systems theory. Learning theories generally have not considered how procedures may interact with evolutionarily prepared foraging contexts, thereby leading to anomalous conclusions. An example of such a conclusion is the apparent species difference when given a choice between a lower percenta ...

Abstract:
... Spatial orientation is a ubiquitous feature of animal behavior. Environmental and self-movement cues are sources of information used to maintain spatial orientation. The literature has typically focused on differences between mice and rats using environmental cues to guide movement. The current study uses the organization of exploratory behavior under dark conditions to investigate species differe ...

Abstract:
... The genus Eudonia is rarely recorded in Tibet despite having a wide occurrence in the plateau. In the taxonomy of the genus, the morphological characters are insufficient to delimit the closely related congeners due to the subtly interspecific differences and conspicuously intraspecific variability. In this study, the Tibetan species are studied with an integrative approach using molecular data an ...

Abstract:
... Five of the seven modern species of the family Anomaluridae have been studied. Significant intergeneric differences in the structure of the tongue between Anomalurus and Idiurus have been identified. These differences affect even such taxonomically important features as the number of circumvallate papillae (three in Anomalurus and two in Idiurus) and the distribution pattern of fungiform papillae. ...

Monomer variants of DTHS3 satDNA were compared in 12 bivalve species belonging to two different subclasses, Heterodonta and Pteriomorphia. This satDNA, whose age is estimated to a minimum of 516 Ma, is contributing to the concept of the dual character of satDNA sequences: their sequence ...

The implementation of Anammox process in wastewater has been a growing concern, but chromium toxicity, created by the coexistence of chromium and ammonium, is a challenge, In this study, the acute toxicity of two typical chromium ions (i.e., Cr(III) and Cr(VI)) on Anammox process as well as the kinetics under Cr(VI) stress and the fate of Cr(VI) were assessed. The results showed that Cr(III) had l ...

Joint species distribution modeling has enabled researchers to move from species‐level to community‐level analyses, leading to statistically more efficient and ecologically more informative use of data. Here, we propose joint species movement modeling (JSMM) as an analogous approach that enables inferring both species‐ and community‐level movement parameters from multispecies movement data.

Abstract:
... It is now commonplace for community ecologists to infer assembly processes from the evolutionary relatedness of co‐occurring species. Such inferences, however, have typically depended on assembly theories that assume competitive equilibrium and that are species based. In reality, all natural communities are dynamic, particularly during the course of succession, and the ecological interactions whic ...

Recent studies have shown that larger‐bodied insect species are more likely to decrease in size when reared at increased temperature, compared with smaller‐sized species. These findings have led to the prediction that a ...

Abstract:
... Research addressing the effects of global warming on the distribution and persistence of species generally assumes that population variation in thermal tolerance is spatially constant or overridden by interspecific variation. Typically, this rationale is implicit in sourcing one critical thermal maximum (CTₘₐₓ) population estimate per species to model spatiotemporal cross‐taxa variation in heat to ...
