Recent advances in satellite-borne optical sensors led to important developments in the
monitoring of tropical ecosystems in Asia, which have been strongly affected by recent …

Predicting the effects of climate warming on insect pollinators is challenging. Insects are
small, mobile, and can be excellent thermoregulators. We describe behavioral and …

In view of the living habits of the spruce budworm, a space–time discrete model with periodic
boundary conditions is established. Through the analysis of the effect of diffusion, rich …

Plants employ a diversity of reproductive safeguarding strategies to circumvent the
challenge of pollen limitation. Focusing on southern African Lachenalia (Asparagaceae …

Global warming has been predicted to cause big changes in terrestrial natural ecosystems
and processes. Forests, being a part of terrestrial ecosystems, help in the regulation of …

Terrestrial arthropods are a critical component of sagebrush ecosystems and serve as a key
food source for higher trophic levels, including many avian species of conservation concern …

The topological structure of interaction networks determines community dynamics and
stability. Closeness centrality is a species-level attribute that measures the relative position …

The relationship between bee community composition and habitat characteristics at local
scales may inform management decisions and conservation strategies for species of …

Ex situ conservation is an effective approach to prevent the extinction of endangered
species. Biotic interactions (eg herbivory and pollination) are critical to ex situ conservation …

A vast majority of angiosperms are pollinated by animals, and a decline in the number and
diversity of insects often affects plant reproduction through pollen limitation. This …
