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 …

Telomere attrition is considered a hallmark of ageing. Untangling the proximate causes of
telomere attrition may therefore reveal important aspects about the ageing process. In a …

We present the results of the search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave
background (GWB) at nanohertz frequencies using the second data release of the European …

Forest restoration is being scaled up globally to deliver critical ecosystem services and
biodiversity benefits; however, there is a lack of rigorous comparison of cobenefit delivery …

Anthropogenic change is contributing to the rise in emerging infectious diseases, which are
significantly correlated with socioeconomic, environmental and ecological factors. Studies …

Microbial consortium inoculation has been proposed as a natural-based strategy to
safeguard multiple ecosystem services. Still, its observed effects and comparisons to single …

Extreme temperature events are increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate
change. Such events threaten insects, including pollinators, pests and disease vectors …

Meta-analysis is a quantitative way of synthesizing results from multiple studies to obtain
reliable evidence of an intervention or phenomenon. Indeed, an increasing number of meta …

Megafauna (animals≥ 45 kg) have probably shaped the Earth's terrestrial ecosystems for
millions of years with pronounced impacts on biogeochemistry, vegetation, ecological …

Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena
is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone …
