Macroinvertebrate communities reveal regional asymmetries in riverine ecosystems along a gradient of water availability in hydrologically distinct years
Climate change has been increasing the frequency and severity of drought periods. There is a need to understand how this water scarcity affects...

The Perception of Availability Explains the Use Value of Plants: Investigating the Ecological Apparency Hypothesis
The ecological apparency hypothesis tests how humans select plants. It is important to distinguish whether an “apparent” plant is the ecologically...

Phosphorus Availability Mediates Grazing Impacts on Resorption and Allocation of Foliar Nitrogen and Phosphorus by Dominant Species in Semiarid Grasslands
Nutrient resorption and relative allocation of nutrient to younger leaves are important mechanisms of resource conservation and utilization for...

GLUT4 localisation with the plasma membrane is unaffected by an increase in plasma free fatty acid availability
BackgroundInsulin-stimulated glucose uptake into skeletal muscle occurs via translocation of GLUT4 from intracellular storage vesicles to the plasma...

The priming effect dynamics are driven by microbial activation and growth and constrained by the relative availability of input C and soil N
Fresh organic inputs can prime the decomposition of native soil organic matter (SOM) and the release of soil mineral N, yet it remains unclear...

Contrasting maize responses to soil phosphorus and potassium availability driven by biochar under reduced irrigation
Background and aimsBiochar is increasingly recognized for its potential to enhance soil water retention and improve soil fertility in agricultural...

Direct links between resource availability and activity budget better reveal ecological patterns of endangered Coimbra-Filho’s titi monkey
Many primatological studies do not assess direct indexes of food availability to make inferences about behavioral strategies. We related the diet and...

Root exudates induced coupled carbon and phosphorus cycling in a soil with low phosphorus availability
Background and aimsThe amount and type of root exudates can influence P availability in the rhizosphere directly by desorption or dissolution of soil...
-
No evidence of sex ratio manipulation by black-throated blue warblers in response to food availability
Sex allocation theory predicts that females should bias their offspring sex ratios when the fitness benefits of producing sons or daughters differ...
