Phosphorus Efficiency Of Bornean Rain Forest Productivity: Evidence Against The Unimodal Efficiency Hypothesis
(Ecological Society of AmericaWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2005-06)
Alewife planktivory controls the abundance of two invasive predatory cladocerans in Lake Michigan
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2007-03)
Why does fertilization reduce plant species diversity? Testing three competition-based hypotheses
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2002-04)
1 Plant species diversity drops when fertilizer is added or productivity increases. To explain this, the total competition hypothesis predicts that competition above ground and below ground both become more important, ...
More TORC for the gluconeogenic engine
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-03)
Hepatic gluconeogenesis plays a key role in the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. The hormone glucagon stimulates this process, whereas insulin and adiponectin are inhibitory. In a recent report, Koo et al identify the ...
Forest edges benefit adults, but not seedlings, of the mistletoe Alepis flavida (Loranthaceae)
(Blackwell Science Ltd, 2005-02)
1 We tested the hypothesis that different life-history stages of the same plant species show different responses to forest edge and interior environments. We investigated the effects of forest edges on growth, survival ...
Retrievable hydrogels for ovarian follicle transplantation and oocyte collection
(American Cancer SocietyWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-08)
Cancer survivorship rates have drastically increased due to improved efficacy of oncologic treatments. Consequently, clinical concerns have shifted from solely focusing on survival to quality of life, with fertility ...
A boundary current drives synchronous growth of marine fishes across tropical and temperate latitudes
(R Foundation for Statistical ComputingWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2018-05)
Entrainment of growth patterns of multiple species to single climatic drivers can lower ecosystem resilience and increase the risk of species extinction during stressful climatic events. However, predictions of the effects ...
PERSISTENCE OF EGG RECOGNITION IN THE ABSENCE OF CUCKOO BROOD PARASITISM: PATTERN AND MECHANISM
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2006-01)
Broad ecological shifts can render previously adaptive traits nonfunctional. It is an open question as to how and how quickly nonfunctional traits decay once the selective pressures that favored them are removed. The village ...
Vegetation connectivity increases ant activity and potential for antâ provided biocontrol services in a tropical agroforest
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-01)
In natural and managed systems, connections between trees are important structural resources for arboreal ant communities with ecosystemâ level effects. However, ongoing agricultural intensification in agroforestry systems, ...
Different axes of environmental variation explain the presence vs. extent of cooperative nest founding associations in Polistes paper wasps
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Cambridge University Press, 2015-10)
Ecological constraints on independent breeding are recognised as major drivers of cooperative breeding across diverse lineages. How the prevalence and degree of cooperative breeding relates to ecological variation remains ...
