Drylands account for more than 30% of China's terrestrial area, while the ecological drivers
of taxonomic (TD), functional (FD) and phylogenetic (PD) diversity in dryland regions have …

The concept of ecological resilience (the amount of disturbance a system can absorb before
collapsing and reorganizing) holds potential for predicting community change and collapse …

Understanding constraints on consumer-resource body size-ratios is fundamentally
important from both ecological and evolutionary perspectives. By analyzing data on 4,685 …

Movement by mammals generally increases with body size, described by a positive
exponent scaling with either home range area or day range distances. Below ca. 100 g …

Abstract The European Water Framework Directive requires the integration of body size
characters as an important part of fish-based bioassessment tools for freshwaters ecological …

Freshwaters are increasingly exposed to complex mixtures of pharmaceutical and personal
care products (PPCPs) from municipal wastewater, which are known to alter freshwater …

Forecasting undesirable change is, arguably, the holy grail of ecology. Paired with an
understanding of system interactions, a forecast is ideal if it provides reliable predictions in …

A study was carried out to determine the influence of latitudes on benthic community
assemblages at different stations in the West Antarctic Peninsula in January 2016. Three …

Theoretical studies of the resilience of ecological systems to environmental change predict
that the size distributions of species in ecosystems should have discontinuities that reflect …

We explored the effects of land-cover configuration, body size and trophic diversity in
determining avian species richness on Prince Edward Island, Canada. Data on avian …
