Feedback between plants and soil microbial communities can be a powerful driver of
vegetation dynamics. Plants elicit changes in the soil microbiome that either promote or …

Seed dispersal, or the movement of diaspores away from the parent location, is a multiscale,
multipartner process that depends on the interaction of plant life history with vector …

Functional ecology is the branch of ecology that focuses on various functions that species
play in the community or ecosystem in which they occur. This accessible guide offers the …

The global impacts of biodiversity loss and climate change are interlinked, but the feedbacks
between them are rarely assessed. Areas with greater tree diversity tend to be more …

Understanding how species respond to climate change is critical for forecasting the future
dynamics and distribution of pests, diseases and biological diversity,,. Although ecologists …

We review progress in our understanding of the importance of waterbirds as dispersal
vectors of other organisms, and identify priorities for further research. Waterbirds are …

Dispersal is fundamental to ecological processes at all scales and levels of organization, but
progress is limited by a lack of information about the general shape and form of plant …

Aim Climate change is expected to impact mountain biodiversity by shifting species ranges
and the biomes they shape. The extent and regional variation in these impacts are still …

Despite the disproportionate influence that propagule production, dispersal, seed‐to‐
seedling recruitment and vegetative reproduction can have on plant population and …

Biological invasions provide opportunities to study evolutionary processes occurring over
contemporary timescales. To explore the speed and repeatability of adaptation, we …
