Impact of clay treatment on aviation fuel thermal stabilityNARA Subscribed
Tissue‐Specific Plasticity of DNA Methylation Across Intertidal Microhabitats in Juvenile Mussels ( Mytilus californianus )NARA Subscribed
Epigenetic modifications to DNA are proposed to underpin plastic responses to environmental change, and the manner in which DNA methylation contributes to plasticity likely differs among tissues. However, few studies have investigated tissue‐specific DNA methylation responses to ecologically relevant environmental stressors in natural settings. Here, we used reduced representation bisulfite sequencing to examine the influence...
As effects of climate change intensify, there is a growing need to understand the thermal properties of landscapes and their influence on wildlife. A key thermal property of landscapes is vegetation structure and composition. Management approaches can alter vegetation and consequently the thermal landscape, potentially resulting in underappreciated consequences for wildlife thermoregulation. Consideration of spatial scale can...
The global abundance of tree palmsNARA Subscribed
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree...
Kin grouping is insufficient to explain the inclusive fitness gains of conspecific brood parasitism in the common eiderNARA Subscribed
Conspecific brood parasitism allows females to exploit other females' nests and enhance their reproductive output. Here, we test a recent theoretical model of how host females gain inclusive fitness from brood parasitism. High levels of relatedness between host and parasitizer can be maintained either by: (a) kin recognizing and parasitizing each other as a form of cooperative breeding or (b) natal philopatry and nest site fid...
Two fundamental issues in ecology are understanding what influences the distribution and abundance of organisms through space and time. While it is well established that broad‐scale patterns of abiotic and biotic conditions affect organisms’ distributions and population fluctuations, discrete events may be important drivers of space use, survival, and persistence. These discrete extreme climatic events can constrain population...
