Extreme climate events are predicted to increase in the future, which will have significant
effects on insect biodiversity. Research into this area has been rapidly expanding, but …

Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the incidence of climate extremes.
Consequences of climate extremes on biodiversity can be highly detrimental, yet few studies …

Climate models predict at least another 1.5° C warming in the next 75 years. This warming
drives increased atmospheric drying and a global increase in the severity and duration of …

Positive associations between animals and foundational shrub species are frequent in
desert ecosystems for shelter, resources, refuge, and other key ecological processes …

Few studies have explored how–within the same system–clonality and positive plant–plant
interactions might interact to regulate plant community composition. Canopy‐dwelling …

Heterogeneity is widespread in natural environments; as a result, connected clonal ramets
often live in areas characterized by patches of different resources. Specifically, clonal plants …

Despite the recognition of positive interactions as an important driver of species coexistence
and community structure, the underlying mechanism of how facilitation affects assembly …

Positive interactions between shrubs and animals are frequent in desert ecosystems. Shrub
canopies can provide refuge to some animal species from predators and shelter from …

As global temperatures rise, droughts are becoming more frequent and severe. To predict
how drought might affect plant communities, ecologists have traditionally designed drought …

The mechanisms supporting positive ecological interactions are important. Foundation
species can structure desert biodiversity by facilitating seedbanks of annual plants, but the …
