Advancing spring phenology is a well documented consequence of anthropogenic climate change, but it is not well understood how climate change will affect the variability of phenology year to year. Species' phenological timings reflect the adaptation to a broad suite of abiotic needs (e.g., thermal energy) and biotic interactions (e.g., predation and pollination), and changes in patterns of variability may disrupt those adaptat...
Bears benefit plants via a cascade with both antagonistic and mutualistic interactionsNARA Subscribed
Predators can influence primary producers by generating cascades of effects in ecological webs. These effects are often non‐intuitive, going undetected because they involve many links and different types of species interactions. Particularly, little is understood about how antagonistic (negative) and mutualistic (positive) interactions combine to create cascades. Here, we show that black bears can benefit plants by consuming a...
Stochastic and deterministic drivers of spatial and temporal turnover in breeding bird communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim A long‐standing challenge in ecology is to identify the suite of factors that lead to turnover in species composition in both space and time. These factors might be stochastic (e.g. sampling and priority effects) or deterministic (e.g. competition and environmental filtering). While numerous studies have examined the relationship between turnover and individual drivers of interest (e.g. primary productivity, habitat hetero...
A wide diversity of previously undetected free‐living relatives of diplomonads isolated from marine/saline habitatsNARA Subscribed
Summary Over the last 15 years classical culturing and environmental PCR techniques have revealed a modest number of genuinely new major lineages of protists; however, some new groups have greatly influenced our understanding of eukaryote evolution. We used culturing techniques to examine the diversity of free‐living protists that are relatives of diplomonads and retortamonads, a group of evolutionary and parasitological impor...
Grazing and fire and are major forces shaping patterns of native and exotic species diversity in many grasslands, yet both of these disturbances have notoriously variable effects. Few studies have examined how landscape‐level heterogeneity in grassland characteristics, such as soil‐based variation in biomass and species composition, may contribute to variation in the effects of fire or grazing. We studied the effects of livest...
