Ecology Letters (2011) Abstract Understanding the sensitivity of tundra vegetation to climate warming is critical to forecasting future biodiversity and vegetation feedbacks to climate. In …
What drives ecosystem buildup, diversity, and stability? We assess species arrival and ecosystem changes across 16 millennia by combining regional-scale plant sedimentary …
Recent research using repeat photography, long-term ecological monitoring and dendrochronology has documented shrub expansion in arctic, high-latitude and alpine …
The contiguous United States contains a disconnected patchwork of natural lands. This fragmentation by human activities limits species' ability to track suitable climates as they …
Climate warming has led to changes in the composition, density and distribution of Arctic vegetation in recent decades,,,. These changes cause multiple opposing feedbacks …
Biological invasions are caused by human-mediated extra-range dispersal and, unlike natural extra-range dispersal, are often the result of multiple introductions from multiple …
With the exception of climate change, biological invasions have probably received more attention during the past ten years than any other ecological topic. Yet this is the first …
Approximately 20 years ago, Avise and colleagues proposed the integration of phylogenetics and population genetics for investigating the connection between micro-and …
How and why organisms are distributed as they are has long intrigued evolutionary biologists,,,. The tendency for species to retain their ancestral ecology has been …
