Dispersal is a central process in ecology and evolution. It strongly influences the dynamics
of spatially structured populations and affects evolutionary processes by shaping patterns of …

The environment experienced early in life often affects the traits that are developed after an
individual has transitioned into new life stages and environments. Because the phenotypes …

Ecological carryover effects, or delayed effects of the environment on an organism's
phenotype, are central predictors of individual fitness and a key issue in conservation …

The input of senescent terrestrial leaf litter into soil and aquatic ecosystems is one of the
most massive cyclic subsidies on Earth, particularly within forested ecosystems. For …

Determining the contribution of elevated ultraviolet-B radiation (UVBR; 280–315 nm) to
amphibian population declines is being hindered by a lack of knowledge about how different …

Assessing carryover effects from the aquatic to the terrestrial stage of pond-breeding
amphibians is critical as temperature and hydrologic regimes of temporary ponds continue …

A mechanistic understanding of phenology, the seasonal timing of life history events, is
important for understanding species' interactions and the potential responses of ecological …

Amphibians have declined dramatically worldwide. Many of these declines are occurring in
areas where no obvious anthropogenic stressors are present. It is proposed that in these …

Neonicotinoid pesticides are widely used to combat agricultural and forest pests, yet the
extent of their biological effects and synergies with other stressors is not well understood …

Recent global declines, extirpations and extinctions of wildlife caused by newly emergent
diseases highlight the need to improve our knowledge of common environmental factors that …
