Aim Understanding how body size and geographic range size influence species abundance is central to macroecology. Here, we characterized these relationships for reef fishes, the world's most diverse vertebrate group, across global and regional scales. Location Global tropical and subtropical reefs. Time Period Current. Major Taxa Studied Reef‐associated fishes. Methods We compiled a comprehensive dataset on abundance, body siz...

The presence and distribution of mycorrhizal symbionts can influence plant distribution through specific host–mycorrhiza symbiosis interactions. However, generalist hosts also exist, such as dual–mycorrhizal plants that form symbiotic associations with both ectomycorrhizal fungi (EM) and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AM). Little is known about the effect of dual mycorrhization status on the hosts' global distribution and accli...

Rhodothalassium ( Rts. ) salexigens is a halophilic purple nonsulfur bacterium and the sole species in the genus Rhodothalassium , which is itself the sole genus in the family Rhodothalassiaceae and sole family in the order Rhodothalassiales (class Alphaproteobacteria ). The genome of this phylogenetically unique phototroph comprises 3.35 Mb and is highly chimeric, with nearly half of its genes originating from families other...

During the past few decades, a range of digital strategies for Nitrogen (N) management using various types of input data and recommendation frameworks have been developed. Despite much research, the benefits accrued from such technology have been equivocal. In this work, thirteen methods for mid-season N recommendations in cereal production systems were evaluated simultaneously, ranging from simple mass balance through to non-...

Aim Functional diversity encapsulates whole‐community responses to environmental gradients mediated by species traits. Under trait convergence, similar responses may cause distantly related taxa to exhibit spatially correlated functional diversity. We investigated whether similar responses of reef fish, coral and algal functional richness and disparity to the environment produce spatially correlated functional diversity patter...

Summary Hotspots of N 2 O emissions are generated from legume residues during decomposition. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) from co‐cultivated intercropped plants may proliferate into the microsites and interact with soil microbes to reduce N 2 O emissions. Yet, the mechanisms by which or how mycorrhizal hyphae affect nitrifiers and denitrifiers in the legume residues remain ambiguous. Here, a split‐microcosm experiment wa...
