Climate feedbacks, key determinants of Earth’s temperature response to radiative forcing, remain uncertain, largely because of challenges in representing cloud and convective processes. Global storm-resolving models (GSRMs), which explicitly simulates storm-scale convective circulations, have recently emerged as a promising alternative to conventional general circulation models to reduce uncertainties in clouds, convection, an...

Aim Understanding how body size and geographic range size influence species abundance is central to macroecology. Here, we characterized these relationships for reef fishes, the world's most diverse vertebrate group, across global and regional scales. Location Global tropical and subtropical reefs. Time Period Current. Major Taxa Studied Reef‐associated fishes. Methods We compiled a comprehensive dataset on abundance, body siz...

Background Infants born extremely preterm (< 28 weeks’ gestation) are born during a phase of rapid cerebellar growth, when disturbances in brain maturation are common and reduced cerebellar size has been linked to unfavorable neurodevelopment. During late gestation, sleep is the dominant brain state and provides structured endogenous activity supporting circuit formation. In the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), sleep may b...

The presence and distribution of mycorrhizal symbionts can influence plant distribution through specific host–mycorrhiza symbiosis interactions. However, generalist hosts also exist, such as dual–mycorrhizal plants that form symbiotic associations with both ectomycorrhizal fungi (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM). Little is known about the effect of dual mycorrhization status on the hosts' global distribution and accli...

Human activities and climate change have accelerated species losses and degradation of ecosystems to unprecedented levels. Both theoretical and empirical evidence suggest that extinction cascades contribute substantially to global species loss. The effects of extinction cascades can ripple across levels of ecological organization, causing not only the secondary loss of taxonomic diversity but also functional diversity erosion....
