Climate change effects on plant-soil feedbacks and consequences for biodiversity and functioning of terrestrial ecosystems
Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are interactions among plants, soil organisms, and abiotic soil
conditions that influence plant performance, plant species diversity, and community …

Climate warming and ectotherm body size–from individual physiology to community ecology
J Ohlberger - Functional Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library

Sensitivity of leaf size and shape to climate: global patterns and paleoclimatic applications
Paleobotanists have long used models based on leaf size and shape to reconstruct
paleoclimate. However, most models incorporate a single variable or use traits that are not …

Heat tolerance in ectotherms scales predictably with body size
I Peralta-Maraver, EL Rezende - Nature Climate Change, 2021 - nature.com
Recent studies suggest that animals are decreasing in size as a general response to global
warming, for reasons that remain unclear. Here, by analysing ectotherm death time curves …

Environmental changes during the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction and Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum: implications for the Anthropocene
Abstract The Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary (KPB) mass extinction (~ 66.02 Ma) and the
Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM)(~ 55.8 Ma) are two remarkable climatic and …

Widespread recent changes in morphology of Old World birds, global warming the immediate suspect
Aim A decline in body size has been proposed as a universal response to global warming,
but this is often questioned. We describe and characterize recent morphological changes in …
