A global analysis of viviparity in squamates highlights its prevalence in cold climates
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Springer, 2022-12)
AimViviparity has evolved more times in squamates than in any other vertebrate group; therefore, squamates offer an excellent model system in which to study the patterns, drivers and implications of reproductive mode ...
Exploring the secondary mineral products generated by microbial iron respiration in Archean ocean simulations
(ElsevierWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-11)
Marine chemical sedimentary deposits known as Banded Iron Formations (BIFs) archive Archean ocean chemistry and, potentially, signs of ancient microbial life. BIFs contain a diversity of iron- and silica-rich minerals in ...
Smallholder farms have and can store more carbon than previously estimated
(American Society of Agronomy, Soil Science Society of AmericaWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
Increasing soil organic carbon (SOC) stocks is increasingly targeted as a key strategy in climate change mitigation and improved ecosystem resiliency. Agricultural land, a dominant global land use, provides substantial ...
Linking seed size and number to trait syndromes in trees
(Cambridge University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-05)
AimOur understanding of the mechanisms that maintain forest diversity under changing climate can benefit from knowledge about traits that are closely linked to fitness. We tested whether the link between traits and seed ...
Damage to living trees contributes to almost half of the biomass losses in tropical forests
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2023-06)
Accurate estimates of forest biomass stocks and fluxes are needed to quantify global carbon budgets and assess the response of forests to climate change. However, most forest inventories consider tree mortality as the only ...
