Diazotrophy modulates cyanobacteria stoichiometry through functional traits that determine bloom magnitude and toxin productionNARA Subscribed
Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are an increasing threat to water quality. The interactions between two ecophysiological functional traits of cyanobacteria, diazotrophy (nitrogen [N]‐fixation) and N‐rich cyanotoxin synthesis, have never been examined in a stoichiometric explicit manner. We explored how a gradient of resource N : phosphorus (P) affects the biomass, N, P stoichiometry, light‐harvesting pigments, and cylindrospermo...
Compensatory dynamics of lotic algae break down nonlinearly with increasing nutrient enrichmentNARA Subscribed
One important mechanism governing the temporal maintenance of biodiversity is asynchrony in co‐occurring competitors due to fluctuating environments (i.e., compensatory dynamics). Temporal niche partitioning has evolved in response to predictable oscillations in environmental conditions so that species may offset competition, but we do not yet have a clear understanding of how novel anthropogenic stressors alter seasonal patte...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
Eutrophication has become one of the most widespread anthropogenic forces impacting freshwater biological diversity. One potentially important mechanism driving biodiversity changes in response to eutrophication is the alteration of seasonal patterns of succession, particularly among species with short, synchronous, life cycles. We tested the hypothesis that eutrophication reduces seasonally driven variation in species assembl...
