Understanding the factors affecting thermal tolerance is crucial for predicting the impact
climate change will have on ectotherms. However, the role developmental plasticity plays in …

Plant–herbivore interactions have evolved in response to coevolutionary dynamics, along
with selection driven by abiotic conditions. We examine how abiotic factors influence trait …

Organisms use energy to grow and reproduce, so the processes of energy metabolism and
biological production should be tightly bound. On the basis of this tenet, we developed and …

Biodiversity faces unprecedented threats from rapid global change. Signals of biodiversity
change come from time-series abundance datasets for thousands of species over large …

Body size determines total reproductive-energy output. Most theories assume reproductive
output is a fixed proportion of size, with respect to mass, but formal macroecological tests are …

Mechanisms that favour rare species are key to the maintenance of diverse communities,–.
One of the most critical tasks for conservation of flowering plant biodiversity is to understand …

Data Integration, Manipulation and Visualization of Phylogenetic Trees introduces and
demonstrates data integration, manipulation and visualization of phylogenetic trees using a …

Abstract Analysis of environmental DNA is increasingly used to characterize ecological
communities, but the effectiveness of this approach depends on the accuracy of taxonomic …

Land plants play a key role in global carbon cycling, but the potential role of arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in the responses of a wide range of plant species to global change …

Abstract The USA National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is one of the world's
most important sources of biological information. NCBI databases like PubMed and …
