Plant-microbe interactions are important for plant development, particularly mutualisms where host promiscuity allows associations with diverse microbial partners. This flexibility is crucial for adaptation, especially in invasive species. Understanding microbial community dynamics is therefore key to explain invasion success. Acacia longifolia , a member of the Fabaceae family, is an aggressive invader capable of establishing...

Understanding delayed biodiversity responses to global changes is crucial for anticipating future ecosystem dynamics and informing conservation. Here, we analysed a 32‐year time series of benthic megafauna from the North Sea (Dogger Bank) to assess extinction debt and immigration credit using a probabilistic species pool framework. Within this framework, we generated suitability estimates for both observed diversity (i.e., spe...

Climate change is a growing threat that requires collective action to alter the technologies, consumption, and production methods. Circular economy aims to enhance resource efficiency and reduce waste, but its synergies and antagonists with climate mitigation and innovative policy approaches remain unknown. This study illustrates the antagonisms and synergy paths between climate mitigation and circular practices via a systemat...

Three indices estimated from measurements of the humerus and ulna were used to suggest possible ecological habits of eight extinct giant sloths from the Late Pleistocene of the Brazilian Intertropical Region. To make these inferences, data from extant primates and xenarthras representing suspensory, climbing and digging forms were compared. The results indicate niche differentiation existed between these species; Ahytherium au...

Aim Amazonia hosts more tree species from numerous evolutionary lineages, both young and ancient, than any other biogeographic region. Previous studies have shown that tree lineages colonized multiple edaphic environments and dispersed widely across Amazonia, leading to a hypothesis, which we test, that lineages should not be strongly associated with either geographic regions or edaphic forest types. Location Amazonia. Taxon A...

Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser‐availability hypothesis) and/or the availability of resources for constructing zoocho...
