  • Does mangrove leaf chemistry help explain crab herbivory patterns? 
    Erickson, Amy A.; Bell, Susan S.; Dawes, Clinton J. (2004)
  • Does morphological variation buffer against extinction? A test using veneroid bivalves from the Plio-Pleistocene of Florida 
    Kolbe, Sarah E.; Lockwood, Rowan; Hunt, Gene (2011)
    Although morphological variation is known to influence the evolutionary fates of species, the relationship between morphological variation and survivorship in the face of extinction-inducing perturbations is poorly understood. ...
  • Does motivation in citizen science change with time and culture? 
    Rotman, Dana; Hammock, Jen; Preece, Jenny J.; Boston, Carol L.; Hansen, Derek L.; Bowser, Anne; He, Yurong (ACM Press, 2014)
  • Does motor noise from recreational boats alter parental care behaviour of a nesting freshwater fish? 
    Maxwell, Ryan J.; Zolderdo, Aaron J.; de Bruijn, Robert; Brownscombe, Jake W.; Staaterman, Erica; Gallagher, Austin J.; Cooke, Steven J. (2018)
    1. Recreational boating activity has the potential to generate noise pollution that may influence wild fish. Such noise may be particularly relevant to fish engaged in parental care ( PC), where alterations in behaviour ...
  • Does Natural Selection Organize Ecosystems for the Maintenance of High Productivity and Diversity? 
    Leigh, Egbert Giles, Jr.; Vermeij, Geerat Jacobus (2002)
  • Does non-native diversity mirror Earth's biodiversity? 
    Briski, Elizabeta; Kotronaki, Syrmalenia G.; Cuthbert, Ross N.; Bortolus, Alejandro; Campbell, Marnie L.; Dick, Jaimie T. A.; Fofonoff, Paul; Galil, Bella S.; Hewitt, Chad L.; Lockwood, Julie L.; MacIsaac, Hugh J.; Ricciardi, Anthony; Ruiz, Gregory; Schwindt, Evangelina; Sommer, Ulrich; Zhan, Aibin; Carlton, James T. (2023)
    Aim Human activities have introduced numerous non-native species (NNS) worldwide. Understanding and predicting large-scale NNS establishment patterns remain fundamental scientific challenges. Here, we evaluate if NNS ...
  • Does one size fit all? A multispecies approach to regional landscape corridor planning 
    Wang, Fang; McShea, William J.; Li, Sheng; Wang, Dajun (2018)
    Aim: The practical value of the single-species approach to conserve biodiversity could be minimal or negligible when sympatric species are limited by factors that are not relevant to the proposed umbrella species. In this ...
  • Does Plasmodium Infection Affect Mosquito Attraction? 
    Santiago-Alarcon, Diego; Ferreira, Francisco C. (2020)
    Vector-host interactions play a central role in the transmission of vector-borne diseases. Determining the factors that affect vector attraction to vertebrate hosts is critical to understand disease ecological dynamics. ...
  • Does Presence of a Mid-Ocean Ridge Enhance Biomass and Biodiversity? 
    Priede, Imants G.; Bergstad, Odd Aksel; Miller, Peter I.; Vecchione, Michael; Gebruk, Andrey; Falkenhaug, Tone; Billett, David S. M.; Craig, Jessica; Dale, Andrew C.; Shields, Mark A.; Tilstone, Gavin H.; Sutton, Tracey T.; Gooday, Andrew J.; Inall, Mark E.; Jones, Daniel O. B.; Martinez-Vicente, Victor; Menezes, Gui M.; Niedzielski, Tomasz; Sigurosson, Porsteinn; Rothe, Nina; Rogacheva, Antonina; Alt, Claudia H. S.; Brand, Timothy; Abell, Richard; Brierley, Andrew S.; Cousins, Nicola J.; Crockard, Deborah; Hoelzel, A. Rus; Hoines, Age; Letessier, Tom B.; Read, Jane F.; Shimmield, Tracy; Cox, Martin J.; Galbraith, John K.; Gordon, John D. M.; Horton, Tammy; Neat, Francis; Lorance, Pascal (2013)
    In contrast to generally sparse biological communities in open-ocean settings, seamounts and ridges are perceived as areas of elevated productivity and biodiversity capable of supporting commercial fisheries. We investigated ...
  • Does probability of occurrence relate to population dynamics? 
    Thuiller, Wilfried; Münkemüller, Tamara; Schiffers, Katja H.; Georges, Damien; Dullinger, Stefan; Eckhart, Vincent M.; Edwards, Thomas C.; Gravel, Dominique; Kunstler, Georges; Merow, Cory; Moore, Kara; Piedallu, Christian; Vissault, Steve; Zimmermann, Niklaus E.; Zurell, Damaris; Schurr, Frank M. (2014)
    Hutchinson defined species' realized niche as the set of environmental conditions in which populations can persist in the presence of competitors. In terms of demography, the realized niche corresponds to the environments ...
  • Does pyrogenicity protect burning plants? 
    Gagnon, Paul R.; Passmore, Heather A.; Platt, William J.; Myers, Jonathan A.; Paine, C. E. Timothy; Harms, Kyle Edward (2010)
    Pyrogenic plants dominate many fire-prone ecosystems. Their prevalence suggests some advantage to their enhanced flammability, but researchers have had difficulty tying pyrogenicity to individual-level advantages. Based ...
  • Does rainforest logging threaten marine turtles? 
    Laurance, William F.; Fay, J. Michael; Parnell, Richard J.; Sounguet, Guy-Philippe; Formia, Angela; Lee, Michelle E. (2008)
    Industrial logging is expanding rapidly in Central African rainforests. We suggest that logging operations in this region pose an indirect threat to nesting marine turtles, especially the Critically Endangered leatherback ...
  • Does science replace traditions? Correlates between traditional Tibetan culture and local bird diversity in Southwest China 
    Shen, Xiaoli; Li, Sheng; Chen, Nyima; Li, Shengzhi; McShea, William J.; Lu, Zhi (2012)
    A positive relationship between traditional cultures and biodiversity exists worldwide, but when traditional and formal conservation institutions coexist, how they interact and affect biodiversity remains poorly studied. ...
  • Does Sex Speed Up Evolutionary Rate and Increase Biodiversity? 
    Melián, Carlos J.; Alonso, David; Allesina, Stefano; Condit, Richard S.; Etienne, Rampal S. (2012)
    Most empirical and theoretical studies have shown that sex increases the rate of evolution, although evidence of sex constraining genomic and epigenetic variation and slowing down evolution also exists. Faster rates with ...
  • Does sexual conflict contribute to the evolution of novel warning patterns? 
    Hausmann, Alexander E.; Freire, Marília; Alfthan, Sara A.; Kuo, Chi-Yun; Linares, Mauricio; McMillan, Owen; Pardo-Diaz, Carolina; Salazar, Camilo; Merrill, Richard M. (2023)
    Why warning patterns are so diverse is an enduring evolutionary puzzle. Because predators associate particular patterns with unpleasant experiences, an individual's predation risk should decrease as the local density ...
  • Does sexual dimorphism vary by population? Laryngeal and ear anatomy in cricket frogs 
    McClelland, Blinda E.; Ryan, Michael J.; Wilczynski, Walter (2018)
    Abstract. Acoustic communication in many anuran species can show the effects of both natural and sexual selection. This is reflected in the sexually dimorphic
  • Does size matter?: a study of visitors to BIGsmall at the National Museum of African Art 
    Munteanu, Ioana; Costello, Lance; Smithsonian Institution Office of Policy and Analysis (2006)
  • Does soil moisture availability explain liana seedling distribution across a tropical rainfall gradient? 
    Manzané-Pinzón, Eric; Goldstein, Guillermo; Schnitzer, Stefan A. (2018)
    Liana density tends to increase with decreasing rainfall and increasing seasonality. However, the pattern of liana distribution may be due to differences in soil water retention capacity, not rainfall and seasonality per ...

    Stereotyped sunning behaviour in birds has been hypothesized to inhibit keratin-degrading bacteria but there is little evidence that solar irradiation affects community assembly and abundance of plumage microbiota. The ...
