Temperature Variability Has Limited Effects on Phenotypic Plasticity in Ectotherms—A Meta‐AnalysisNARA Subscribed
Phenotypic plasticity can lead to compensation for potentially adverse effects of variation in the thermal environment so it is important to understand the impacts of changes in mean and fluctuations in temperature on plastic responses. Here we establish the current state of knowledge of how thermal variability influences the expression of phenotypic plasticity in ectothermic animals. Our quantitative synthesis of 46 studies c...
Aim The urgency for remote, reliable and scalable biodiversity monitoring amidst mounting human pressures on ecosystems has sparked worldwide interest in Passive Acoustic Monitoring (PAM), which can track life underwater and on land. However, we lack a unified methodology to report this sampling effort and a comprehensive overview of PAM coverage to gauge its potential as a global research and monitoring tool. To address this...
The Effect of Temperature Variability on Biological Responses of Ectothermic Animals—A Meta‐AnalysisNARA Subscribed
Climate change is altering temperature means and variation, and both need to be considered in predictions underpinning conservation. However, there is no consensus in the literature regarding the effects of temperature fluctuations on biological functions. Fluctuations may affect biological responses because of inequalities from non‐linear responses, endocrine regulation or exposure to damaging temperatures. Here we establish...
Multiple biotic interactions establish phytoplankton community structure across environmental gradientsNARA Subscribed
The combination of taxa and size classes of phytoplankton that coexist at any location affects the structure of the marine food web and the magnitude of carbon fluxes to the deep ocean. But what controls the patterns of this community structure across environmental gradients remains unclear. Here, we focus on the North East Pacific Transition Zone, a ~ 10° region of latitude straddling warm, nutrient‐poor subtropical and cold,...
ATLANTIC BIRD TRAITS : a data set of bird morphological traits from the Atlantic forests of South AmericaNARA Subscribed
Scientists have long been trying to understand why the Neotropical region holds the highest diversity of birds on Earth. Recently, there has been increased interest in morphological variation between and within species, and in how climate, topography, and anthropogenic pressures may explain and affect phenotypic variation. Because morphological data are not always available for many species at the local or regional scale, we a...
Governability is an important concept in the political and environmental social sciences with increasing application to socio‐ecological systems such as fisheries. Indeed, governability analyses of fisheries and related systems such as marine‐protected areas have generated innovative ways to implement sustainability ideals. Yet, despite progress made, we argue that there remain limitations in current conceptions of governabili...
Aim To evaluate the biomization technique for reconstructing past vegetation in the Eastern Mediterranean–Black Sea–Caspian‐Corridor using an extensive modern pollen data set and comparing reconstructions to potential vegetation and observed land cover data. Location The region between 28–48°N and 22–62°E. Methods We apply the biomization technique to 1,387 modern pollen samples, representing 1,107 entities, to reconstruct the...
Summary Talaromyces islandicus (‘ Penicillium islandicum ’) is a widespread foodborne mold that produces numerous secondary metabolites, among them potent mycotoxins belonging to different chemical classes. A notable metabolite is the hepatotoxic and carcinogenic pentapeptide cyclochlorotine that contains the unusual amino acids β‐phenylalanine, 2‐aminobutyrate and 3,4‐dichloroproline. Although the chemical structure has been...
Is fisheries governance possible?NARA Subscribed
Are there limits to the governability of a fishery? The establishment of a 200 nautical mile economic zone in N orway in 1977 made it possible to change from an open‐access regime to a more closed one. In this process, the former self‐regulating N orwegian fishing industry, to a large extent, accepted and adapted an explicit, hierarchical form of state‐run governance. However, the process of change did not stop there. Since th...
