Soil properties variation in a small-scale altitudinal gradient of an evergreen foothills forest, Ecuadorian Amazon region
The aim of this study was to evaluate variation in the soil physical and chemical properties in a small-scale elevation gradient at 601–1000 m above...

Effects of dissolved organic carbon gradient on epilimnetic zooplankton communities in lakes
Lake browning is expected to change aquatic ecosystems considerably. The changes that may occur in zooplankton communities with a high concentration...
-
Oak stands along an elevation gradient have different molecular strategies for regulating bud phenology
BackgroundGlobal warming raises serious concerns about the persistence of species and populations locally adapted to their environment, simply...

The variability of muscle–blubber interface temperature with activity level in a captive Risso’s dolphin (Grampus griseus)
BackgroundTo reduce heat loss underwater, marine mammals cover their bodies with insulation. Cetaceans in particular rely solely on blubber for...
-
Alpine plant communities differ in their seed germination requirements along a snowmelt gradient in the Caucasus
Mesoscale heterogeneity of alpine landscapes generates snowmelt gradients resulting in a distinct vegetation zonation from almost snow-free...
-
Moisture thresholds for ignition vary between types of eucalypt forests across an aridity gradient
ContextQuantifying spatial and temporal variations in landscape flammability is important for implementing ecologically desirable prescribed burns...
-
Landscape gradient of autumn photosynthetic decline in Abies sachalinensis seedlings
Understanding what environmental factors are genetically linked to a phenological event is critical for predicting responses to climate change....
-
Isopod mouthpart traits respond to a tropical forest recovery gradient
Functional trait ecology has the potential to provide generalizable and mechanistic predictions of ecosystem function from data of species...
-
Species Diversity of Three Faunal Communities Along a Successional Cloud Forest Gradient
The relationship between cloud forest regeneration processes and fauna recovery is poorly understood. We assessed the species diversity of...
-
Solar Energy, Temperature and Rainfall
The climatic forces that determine Angola’s biodiversity and ecosystem patterns (and all life forms on Earth) are based on the energy that comes from...

Symbiont community dynamics in the turbid reef specialist, Turbinaria reniformis, along a latitudinal and environmental gradient in Western Australia
Thermal stress triggers the breakdown of the obligate symbiosis between the cnidarian coral host and its autotrophic dinoflagellates of the family...
-
Liana functional assembly along the hydrological gradient in Central Amazonia
Soil hydrology, nutrient availability, and forest disturbance determine the variation of tropical tree species composition locally. However, most...

Optimizing high-throughput viral vector characterization with density gradient equilibrium analytical ultracentrifugation
Viral vector-based gene therapies and vaccines require accurate characterization of capsid species. The current gold standard for assessing capsid...

Variation in species and functional composition of octocorals and zoantharians across a tropical to temperate environmental gradient in the Indo-Pacific
Global warming causes functional shifts and reorganisation in marine communities through range shifts to high-latitude reefs and cnidarian bleaching...
-
Crop Responses to High Temperature Stress
Plants face a variety of temperatures in their whole life cycle and require continuous adaptation on diurnal and periodic levels. The different...

Patterns in Wing Morphology and Fluctuating Asymmetry in Eulaema nigrita along an Altitudinal Gradient in the Brazilian Rupestrian Grassland
Mountain ecosystems experience abrupt abiotic changes that represent environmental filters for many organisms, sha** their phenotypic expressions....

Genetic Variation and Population Structure of Rhododendron anthopogon Along an Altitudinal Gradient: A Case Study from Himalaya
High-altitude regions like the Himalaya, where various slopes are present on a very small spatial scale, are one of the best natural laboratories for...
-
Composition and structure of winter aphid–parasitoid food webs along a latitudinal gradient in Chile
All species interact in complex antagonistic or mutualistic networks that may be driven by turnover in species composition due to spatiotemporal...
-
Testing the stress gradient hypothesis in soil bacterial communities associated with vegetation belts in the Andean Atacama Desert
BackgroundSoil microorganisms are in constant interaction with plants, and these interactions shape the composition of soil bacterial communities by...

Tree stem and soil methane and nitrous oxide fluxes, but not carbon dioxide fluxes, switch sign along a topographic gradient in a tropical forest
PurposeTropical forests exchange large amounts of greenhouse gases (GHGs: carbon dioxide, CO 2 ; methane, CH 4 ; and nitrous oxide, N 2 O) with the...
