    Robust data to refute or support claims of global insect decline are currently lacking, particularly for the soil fauna in the tropics. DNA metabarcoding represents a powerful approach for rigorous spatial and temporal ...
  • Kibet, Staline; Nyangito, Moses; MacOpiyo, Laban; Kenfack, David (2021)
    The need to address wildlife conservation outside of protected areas has become more urgent than ever before to meet environmental and socio-economic goals. However, there is limited knowledge about how woody plants respond ...
  • Lucey, Noelle M.; Haskett, Eileen; Collin, Rachel (2021)
    Coastal deoxygenation is poorly documented in the tropics. When the Isthmus of Panama separated the Caribbean from the Pacific, sister lineages diverged and adapted to changing oxy-thermal conditions along both coasts. ...
  • Torchin, Mark E.; Freestone, Amy L.; McCann, Linda; Larson, Kristen; Schlöder, Carmen; Steves, Brian P.; Fofonoff, Paul; Repetto, Michele F.; Ruiz, Gregory M. (2021)
    Understanding the mechanisms of spatial variation of biological invasions, across local-to-global scales, has been a major challenge. The importance of evolutionary history for invasion dynamics was noted by Darwin, and ...

Joseph; Zailaa, Joseph; McMahon, Sean M. (2021)
    Deep-water access is arguably the most effective, but under-studied, mechanism that plants employ to survive during drought. Vulnerability to embolism and hydraulic safety margins can predict mortality risk at given levels ...

    Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) associations are critical for host-tree performance. However, how mycorrhizal associations correlate with the latitudinal tree beta-diversity remains untested. Using a ...
  • Kenfack, David; Arellano, Gabriel; Kibet, Staline; Kimuyu, Duncan; Musili, Paul (2021)
    Key message The high mortality and low recruitment of the myrmecophytic Acacia drepanolobium are not consistent with the demographic rates of monodominant species. The positive conspecific density dependence observed from ...

  • Luskin, Matthew Scott; Johnson, Daniel J.; Ickes, Kalan; Yao, Tze Leong; Davies, Stuart J. (2021)
    Large vertebrates are rarely considered important drivers of conspecific negative density-dependent mortality (CNDD) in plants because they are generalist consumers. However, disturbances like trampling and nesting also ...

    The morphological diversity of marine annelid larvae is stunning. Although many of the larval forms have been categorized as trochophores or modified trochophores, there are a few groups with distinctive larval features ...
