Carbon Stocks and Transfers in Coniferous Boreal Forests Along a Latitudinal Gradient
Carbon (C) sequestrated in the boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in climate regulation. This study’s objectives were to quantify the...

Radiating diversification and niche conservatism jointly shape the inverse latitudinal diversity gradient of Potentilla L. (Rosaceae)
BackgroundThe latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), characterized by an increase in species richness from the poles to the equator, is one of the...
-
Metabolic rates of a widely distributed crayfish shift along a latitudinal gradient
Species are often exposed to novel thermal regimes as a result of anthropogenic activities. Understanding the extent to which populations are locally...

Bergmann-Rensch Continuum Under Shell: Gender-Specific Trend in Response to Latitudinal Gradient
Two macroecological and evolutionary rules are strongly related to the body size of organisms: Bergmann’s and Rensch’s rules. Bergmann’s rule states...

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...
-
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...

Investing in a nest egg: intraspecific variation in the timing of egg laying across a latitudinal gradient
Avian reproductive strategies vary widely, and many studies of life-history variation have focused on the incubation and hatching stages of nesting....

Neutral genetic diversity follows a latitudinal gradient in the endangered plant Arnica montana L.: a range-wide study
Arnica montana is a clonal, self-incompatible herb of economic and intrinsic ecological value which is declining in large parts of its range. With...

An ecothermal paradox: bull trout populations diverge in response to thermal landscapes across a broad latitudinal gradient
Maintaining natural thermal regimes in montane stream networks is critical for many species, but as climate warms, thermal regimes will undoubtedly...

Variation in behavioral traits across a broad latitudinal gradient in a livebearing fish
Variation in animal behavior can have important consequences for ecological processes like mate choice, resource competition and invasive potential....

Warm and cold temperatures limit the maximum body length of teleost fishes across a latitudinal gradient in Norwegian waters
As the majority of marine organisms are water-breathing ectotherms, temperature and dissolved oxygen are key environmental variables that influence...

Effects of Tuber borchii inoculation on Pinus pinea 3 years after establishment along a latitudinal gradient in the Southern Hemisphere
Stone pine ( Pinus pinea ) produces a highly demanded dried fruit, the pine nuts; Tuber borchii produces a well-known commercialized truffle. Thus, the...

Phenotypic Plasticity in Sargassum Forests May Not Counteract Projected Biomass Losses Along a Broad Latitudinal Gradient
Phenotypic plasticity and local adaptation can adjust individual responses to environmental changes across species’ ranges. Studies addressing the...
-
Variable response of Red Sea coral communities to recent disturbance events along a latitudinal gradient
Coral reefs are experiencing a dramatic loss of hard coral abundance and associated habitat structure from a myriad of local and global factors....

Latitudinal cline in reproductive traits in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
AbstractSeveral previous studies have reported geographic variation and/or latitudinal clines of morphological sexual characteristics, but there are...

Natural variation of domestication-related genes contributed to latitudinal expansion and adaptation in soybean
Soybean is a major source of protein and edible oil worldwide. Originating from the Huang-Huai-Hai region, which has a temperate climate, soybean has...

Latitudinal Trends in Scorpion Assemblages of Brazilian Atlantic Forest: Do the Rapoport’s and Bergmann’s Rules Apply?
By testing some of the most known ecogeographic rules, such as Rapoport’ rule, and Bergmann’s rule, we expand our knowledge on the spatial patterns...

Functional diversity of fish assemblages across a latitudinal gradient in coral ecosystems of the Mexican Tropical Pacific
Fishes are relevant indicators of reefs’ conservation status due to the wide variety of functions they perform in the ecosystem. Natural and...

Latitudinal gradients in avian colourfulness
It has long been suggested that tropical species are generally more colourful than temperate species, but whether latitudinal gradients in organismal...
