The selection of breeding habitat has broadscale implications for species distributions and
community structure and smaller-scale ramifications for offspring survival and parental …

Habitat loss and fragmentation continue to be major issues affecting the persistence and
conservation of species, but identification of critical habitat remains a challenge. Species …

The global resurgence and emergence of new mosquito-borne diseases and increasing
resistance of mosquitoes to chemical pesticides have prompted renewed interest in …

Oviposition habitat choices of species with aquatic larvae are expected to be influenced by
both offspring risk of mortality due to predation, and offspring growth potential. Aquatic …

Artificial light at night (ALAN) affects over 20% of the earth's surface and is estimated to
increase 6% per year. Most studies of ALAN have focused on a single mechanism or life …

Aquatic habitat features can directly influence the abundance, species richness, and quality
of juvenile amphibians recruited into adult populations. We examined the influences of …

A comprehensive framework for understanding species coexistence Coexistence is the
central concept in community ecology, but an understanding of this concept requires that we …

Numerous studies demonstrate that given the dichotomous choice of predator‐free habitats
vs. habitats containing predators, prey choose predator‐free habitats when foraging for food …

Laying eggs out of water was crucial to the transition to land and has evolved repeatedly in
multiple animal phyla. However, testing hypotheses about this transition has been difficult …

Colonization rate is a critical factor determining abundance and diversity in spatially distinct
communities. Beyond simple variation driven by random processes, many species …
