BACKGROUND Neonicotinoid insecticides have been identified as an important factor
contributing to bee diversity declines. Nonetheless, uncertainties remain about their impact under …

Soil phosphatase enzymes are produced by plant roots and microorganisms and play a key
role in the cycling of phosphorus (P), an often‐limiting element in terrestrial ecosystems. The …

Temporally variable production of seed crops by perennial plants (masting) has been
hypothesized to be a valuable mechanism in the reduction of seed predation by satiating and …

Range maps provide important information in species conservation management, specially
in the case of rare species of conservation interest. For the vast majority of cases, this …

Vegetation burning in tropical countries is a threat to the environment, causing not only local
ecological, economic and social impacts, but also large-scale implications for global change…

Plant transpiration is the main evaporative flux from terrestrial ecosystems; it controls land
surface energy balance, determines catchment hydrological responses and influences …

The effects of land use and land cover (LULC) dynamics on landslide susceptibility are not
fully understood. This study evaluates the influence of LULC on landslide susceptibility and …

The sulfoximine insecticide sulfoxaflor is regarded as a potential substitute for neonicotinoids
that were recently banned in the EU due to their side effects on bees. Like neonicotinoids, …

Leaf unfolding in temperate forests is driven by spring temperature, but little is known about
the spatial variance of that temperature dependency. Here we use in situ leaf unfolding …

Ecological communities are defined by species interacting dynamically in a given location
at a given time, and can be conveniently represented as networks of interactions. Pairwise …
