Most young leaves pale in comparison to mature leaves: delayed greening is neither binary nor tropical Ecography (IF 5.4) Pub Date : 2025-05-20 Giancarlo M. Chiarenza, Angela T. Moles
Delayed greening, the phenomenon in which expanding leaves appear red, blue or pale green due to low chlorophyll content, has long intrigued ecologists. However, little is known about what type of species are most likely to delay greening or which environmental conditions are associated with delayed greening. We spectroscopically quantified leaf pigments in 105 species from 12 representative terrestrial

Environmental and local habitat variables as predictors of trophic interactions in subtidal rocky reefs along the SE Pacific coast Ecography (IF 5.4) Pub Date : 2025-05-20 Catalina A. Musrri, Alistair G. B. Poore, Oscar Pino, Nicolás Riquelme, Wolfgang B. Stotz, Fadia Tala, Martin Thiel
Temperature generally drives latitudinal patterns in the strength of trophic interactions, including consumption rates. However, local community and other environmental conditions might also affect consumption, disrupting latitudinal gradients, which results in complex large-scale patterns. This study assessed the relative effect of environmental variables and local consumer communities on predation

Shifts in avian migration phenologies do not compensate for changes to conditions en route in spring and fall Ecology (IF 4.4) Pub Date : 2025-05-19 Carrie Ann Adams, Monika A. Tomaszewska, Geoffrey M. Henebry, Kyle G. Horton
Several factors are known to affect bird migration timing, but no study has simultaneously compared the effects of temperature, land surface phenology, vegetation greenness, and relative humidity in both spring and fall. In addition, it is unclear whether long‐term shifts in migration phenologies have kept pace with changing climates. For example, if migration shifts earlier in the spring, temperatures

Life‐history variation can contribute to the long‐term persistence of populations; however, it remains unclear which environmental factors drive life‐history variation within a population. Seasonally recurring resource subsidies are common in nature and may influence variations in recipient consumers' life‐history traits. In this study, we experimentally demonstrated that terrestrial invertebrate subsidies

Freshwater fish functional diversity shows diverse responses to human activities, but consistently declines in the tropics Ecography (IF 5.4) Pub Date : 2025-05-16 Romullo Guimarães de Sá Ferreira Lima, Bruno Eleres Soares, Marc Cadotte, Míriam Pilz Albrecht
Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts. Changes in FD can be expressed by quantifying its three

Ecological communities under extreme environments are shaped by a balance of environmental filtering and coexistence mechanisms that result in a series of assembly rules.

Anthropogenic climate change, particularly changes in temperature and precipitation, affects plants in multiple ways. Because plants respond dynamically to stress and acclimate to changes in growing conditions, diagnosing quantitative plant‐environment relationships is a major challenge. One approach to this problem is to quantify leaf responses using spectral reflectance, which provides rapid, inexpensive

Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare.
