Both climate warming and biological invasions are primary threats to species diversity and
its functioning. Although asymmetric climate warming (ie, nighttime temperatures increasing …

In seasonal environments, a high responsiveness of development to increasing
temperatures in spring can infer benefits in terms of a longer growing season, but also costs …

Anthropogenic climate change and species invasion are two major threats to biodiversity,
affecting the survival and distribution of many species around the world. Studying the …

Grazing, one of the primary utilization modes of grassland, is the main cause of grassland
degradation. Historical overgrazing results in dwarf phenotype and decreased …

Species range limits often reflect niche limits, especially for ranges constrained along
elevational gradients. In this study, we used elevational transplant experiments to test niche …

Colonization along ubiquitous gradients of growing season length should require adaptation
of phenological traits, driven by natural selection. Although phenology often varies with …
