Among ecologists, it is widely believed that conservative growth strategies of plants are crucial for sustaining ecosystem stability, while the potential stabilising role of acquisitive strategies has received little attention. We investigated the relationships between plant traits and three stability dimensions—temporal stability, resistance and resilience—using two complementary datasets from drought‐affected semi‐arid grass...

Historical climate changes significantly influenced the phylogeographical patterns of intertidal macroalgae. The brown alga Colpomenia sinuosa was common in warmer waters worldwide, providing an ideal model for genetic diversity and distribution research. C. sinuosa has abundant biomass in the coastal South China Sea, which is a well-known hotspot on marine biodiversity. Here, we analyzed its population structure and demograph...
