Intra-population niche differences in generalist foragers have captured the interest of
ecologists, because such individuality can have important ecological and evolutionary …

Road salt runoff has potentially large effects on wetland communities, but is typically
investigated in short‐term laboratory trials. The authors investigated effects of road salt …

Background In species with complex life cycles, size at metamorphosis is a key life-history
trait which reflects the complex interactions between costs and benefits of life in the aquatic …

Most animals have complex life histories, composed of a series of ecologically distinct
stages, and the transitions between stages are often plastic. Anurans are models for …

Amphibian invasions have considerable detrimental impacts on recipient ecosystems.
However, reliable risk analysis of invasive amphibians still requires research on more non …

The conditions experienced early in development can have long-term effects on an
organism's phenotype and performance. We tested whether variation in canopy cover over …

For organisms with complex life cycles, conditions experienced during early life stages may
constrain later growth and survival. Conversely, compensatory mechanisms may attenuate …

Understanding drivers of metapopulation dynamics remains a critical challenge for ecology
and conservation. In particular, the degree of synchrony in metapopulation dynamics …

Understanding mechanisms that underlie species range limits is at the core of evolutionary
ecology. Asymmetric gene flow between larger core populations and smaller edge …

Interspecific competition is considered a major determinant of ecological niche. It is
hypothesized that increased competition should reduce niche breadth. However, there are …
