Seasonal variation in urban pollen resource use by north temperate European honeybees
Urban green infrastructure can provide important habitats for pollinators and support urban ecosystem services. Therefore, these areas must be...
-
Resource use differences of two coexisting chironomid species at localized scales
Competing species may show positive correlations in abundance through time and space if they rely on a shared resource. Such positive correlations...
-
Inter- and intrapopulation resource use variation of marine subsidized western fence lizards
Marine resource subsidies alter consumer dynamics of recipient populations in coastal systems. The response to these subsidies by generalist...
-
Relations between root anatomical traits and leaf resource-use efficiency in alpine meadows of the Tibetan Plateau
Background and aimsWater and nutrient availability in soil can affect leaf resource-use efficiency. Within a given location and given common soil...
-
Shifts in plant resource use strategies across climate and soil gradients in dryland steppe communities
Background and aimsDespite being Earth’s largest biome and a key contributor to global energy budgets, arid regions (or drylands) are critically...
-
Energetic consequences of resource use diversity in a marine carnivore
Understanding how intraspecific variation in the use of prey resources impacts energy metabolism has strong implications for predicting long-term...
-
Resource predictability modulates spatial-use networks in an endangered scavenger species
BackgroundChanges in human-induced resource availability can alter the behaviour of free-living species and affect their foraging strategies. The...

Land use drives differential resource selection by African elephants in the Greater Mara Ecosystem, Kenya
Understanding drivers of space use by African elephants is critical to their conservation and management, particularly given their large home-ranges,...
-
Root Phenoty** for Improved Resource Use Efficiency in Crops
To ensure the conservation of natural resources and food security for future, utilization of different tools and techniques for improving resource...

Food production and resource use of urban farms and gardens: a five-country study
There is a lack of data on resources used and food produced at urban farms. This hampers attempts to quantify the environmental impacts of urban...
-
Resource Use Efficiency Estimation and Technology Verification Trial for Sustainable Improvement in Paddy Production: An Action-Based Research
Augmenting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into paddy production efficiency measurements suggests possible GHG reduction through optimal utilization...

Anthropogenic subsidies influence resource use during a mange epizootic in a desert coyote population
Colonization of urban areas by synanthropic wildlife introduces novel and complex alterations to established ecological processes, including the...
-
Local interactions affect spread of resource in a consumer-resource system with group defense
Integrodifference equations are a discrete-time spatially explicit model that describes the dispersal of ecological populations through space. This...

Walleye and yellow perch resource use in large lakes invaded by spiny water fleas and zebra mussels
Walleye ( Sander vitreus ; WAE) and yellow perch ( Perca flavescens ; YEP; collectively percids) are freshwater fishes threatened by multiple stressors,...
-
Acquisitive to conservative resource use strategy and increased site-specific trait variance contribute to Sophora moorcroftiana dominance along an altitudinal gradient in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau
Exploring plant trait variance within a species that is naturally distributed along an environmental gradient is key to understanding plant...
-
Isotopic diversity and niche patterns reveal contrasting resource use among co-occurring non-native fishes within a flow-altered African river system
Classic and contemporary trophic ecology-based studies have shown that most non-native freshwater fish species (NNS) that integrate into novel...
