Changes in bee functional traits at community and intraspecific levels along an elevational gradient in a Mexical-type scrubland
Understanding the causes of morphological variation of organisms along climatic gradients has been a central challenge in ecological research. We...

Body size variation in a tropical seabird along a latitude-productivity gradient
Body size can vary across geographical gradients, and these clines have been mainly attributed to temperature (i.e., the heat conservation...

Molecular level characterization of DOM along a freshwater-to-estuarine coastal gradient in the Florida Everglades
Understanding dissolved organic matter (DOM) export to the ocean is needed to assess the impact of climate change on the global carbon cycle. The...

Common chironomids drive the biodiversity–temperature relationship during the Younger Dryas-Holocene transition in a southern Baltic coastal lake
The Younger Dryas-Holocene transition represents a period of significant thermal change, comparable in magnitude to modern warming, yet in a colder...

Common camas (Camassia quamash) response across an urban–rural gradient in coastal oak meadows in Greater Victoria, Canada
Coastal oak meadows are fragmented across an increasingly urbanized landscape in Greater Victoria with implications for common camas (qʷɫəɫ/KȽO,EL/ Cam...

Temperature and intraspecific variation affect host–parasite interactions
Parasites play key roles in regulating aquatic ecosystems, yet the impact of climate warming on their ecology and disease transmission remains poorly...
-
Influence of High Temperature Stress on Grain Crops
High temperature (HT) or heat stress is among the most important environmental stresses limiting productivity of major field grains. It is projected...

Shrinkage Behavior of Aquands Along a Longitudinal Climatic Gradient in Southern Chile
PurposeÑadi soils (Aquands) are derived from volcanic ashes and have a limited effective depth that restricts the movement of water throughout their...

Relationships Between Soil Microbial Diversities Across an Aridity Gradient in Temperate Grasslands
Soil microbes assemble in highly complex and diverse microbial communities, and microbial diversity patterns and their drivers have been studied...
-
Role of Transpiration in Regulating Leaf Temperature and its Application in Physiological Breeding
Global warming and consequent changes in climate will put intense pressure on crop production, undermining global food security. Adaptation...

Periphyton structure and stoichiometry along a gradient of urban land use in Sub-Antarctic streams from Tierra del Fuego, Argentina
We analyzed periphyton structure, elemental composition: carbon (C), nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), and algal composition along an urban gradient...

Population niche breadth and individual trophic specialisation of fish along a climate-productivity gradient
A mechanistic understanding of how environmental change affects trophic ecology of fish at the individual and population level remains elusive. To...

Species and genetic diversity relationships in benthic macroinvertebrate communities along a salinity gradient
BackgroundSpecies- and genetic diversity can change in parallel, resulting in a species-genetic diversity correlation (SGDC) and raising the question...

Stream macroinvertebrate community responses to an agricultural gradient alter consumer-driven nutrient dynamics
Although macroinvertebrate communities play a key role in the cycling of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) in streams, this process may be disrupted...
