Phenological events play a key role modulating ecosystem services; however, the complex
and interlinked nature of ecosystems indicates that interactions among different taxa during …

The relationship between niche and distribution, and especially the role of biotic interactions
in shaping species' geographic distributions, has gained increasing interest in the last two …

[This paper is part of the Focused Collection on Quantitative Methods in PER: A Critical
Examination.] A common goal in discipline-based education research (DBER) is to …

Sexual reproduction often declines towards range edges, reducing fitness, dispersal and
adaptive potential. For plants, sexual reproduction is frequently limited by inadequate …

We explore the relationship between plant mating system (selfing or outcrossing) and niche
breadth to gain new insights into processes that drive species distributions. Using a …

Shifts in phenology that are driven by climate change have substantial impacts on
ecosystems, but the effects of these ecological shifts on coupled social–ecological systems …

Insect pollination is among the most essential ecosystem services for humanity. Globally,
bees are the most effective pollinators, and tropical bees are also important for maintaining …

Aim Range‐restricted species are of high conservation concern, and the way in which they
interact with more widespread species has implications for their persistence. Here, we …

The previous studies show soil microbes play a key role in the material and nutrient cycles in
the forest ecosystem, but little is known about how soil microbes respond to plant …

Rapid climate change in the Arctic may increase sexual reproduction in plants because of
changes in both abiotic factors, such as temperature, and biotic factors, such as pollination …
