Patterns of resource use observed at the species level emerge from the way individuals
exploit the range of available resources. Hence, accounting for interindividual differences in …

Elucidating how multiple factors affect biodiversity and plant community assembly is a
central issue in ecology, especially in vulnerable ecosystems such as tropical mountains …

Abstract Models applying space‐for‐time substitution, including those projecting ecological
responses to climate change, generally assume an elevational and latitudinal equivalence …

Animals as diverse as cephalopods, insects, fish, and mammals signal social dominance to
conspecifics to avoid costly fights. Even though between-species fights may be equally …

In terrestrial ecosystems, arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi engage in symbiosis with> 70%
of terrestrial plants (Brundrett & Tedersoo, 2018). These fungi occupy the soil where their …

In New Guinea, low elevations are thought to be dominated by plant species with
biogeographic origins in Sunda (Borneo, Sumatra, Java, Mainland Asia) and high elevations …

While the theory of micro-evolution by natural selection assigns a crucial role to competition,
its role in macroevolution is less clear. Phylogenetic evidence for a decelerating …

A major goal in ecology is understanding the factors which determine the diversity and
distribution of organisms. The outcome of the symbiotic relationship between plants and …

Functional trait distances between coexisting organisms reflect not only complementarity in
the way they use resources, but also differences in their competitive abilities. Accordingly …

Closely related species that use similar resources often differ in their seasonal patterns of
activity, but the factors that limit their distributions across seasons are unknown for most …
