Light and dispersal strategies structure palm community along an elevation gradient in the Atlantic Forest
Light availability and seed dispersal can play a determinant role for plant growth and survival. The intricate interplay among these factors, coupled...

The effect of artificial light on bat richness and nocturnal soundscapes along an urbanization gradient in an arid landscape of central Peru
Urbanization usually reduces bat richness; however, the presence of green areas within cities and peripheral rural areas in arid ecosystems may...

Quantifying functional trait assembly along a temperate successional gradient with consideration of intraspecific variations and functional groups
Advances in functional trait ecology allow us to evaluate community structure and community assembly in a more quantitative and generalised manner....

Contrasting effects of experiencing temporally heterogeneous light availability versus homogenous shading on plant subsequent responses to light conditions
Temporally heterogeneous environments is hypothesized to correlate with greater plasticity of plants, which has rarely been supported by direct...
-
Light Perception and Transduction
Plants utilize light not only for photosynthesis but also as an environmental signal for many developmental processes. Plants are highly sensitive to...

Changing water quality and thermocline depth along an aquaculture gradient in six tropical crater lakes
Understanding how lakes respond to changes in nutrient loading along a productivity gradient can help identify key drivers of aquatic change, thereby...

Effects of temperature gradient on functional fruit traits: an elevation-for-temperature approach
Fruit traits mediate animal-plant interactions and have to a large degree evolved to match the sensory capacities and morphology of their respective...
