• Behavioral thermoregulation is highly repeatable and unaffected by digestive status in Agama atra 

  van Berkel, J.; Clusella-Trulla, S. (John Wiley & Sons Australia, Ltd, 2018)

  The precision and the extent of behavioral thermoregulation are likely to provide fitness benefits to ectotherms. Yet the factors driving variation in selected or preferred body temperature (Tset) and its usefulness as a ...

• Plant diversity drives global patterns of insect invasions 

  Liebhold, A.M.; Yamanaka, T.; Roques, A.; Augustin, S.; Chown, S.L.; Brockerhoff, E.G.; Pysek, P. (Nature, 2018)

  During the last two centuries, thousands of insect species have been transported (largely inadvertently) and established outside of their native ranges worldwide, some with catastrophic ecological and economic impacts. ...

• Seed density is more effective than multi-trait limiting similarity in controlling grassland resistance against plant invasions in mesocosms 

  Yannelli, F.A.; Karrer, G.; Hall, R.; Kollmann, J.; Heger, T. (International Association for Vegetation Science, 2018)

  Question: Disturbed areas offer great opportunities for restoring native biodiversity,but they are also prone to invasion by alien plants. Following the limiting similarityhypothesis, we address the question of whether ...

• What predicts the richness of seeder and resprouter species in fire-prone Cape fynbos: Rainfall reliability of vegetation density? 

  Cowling, R.M.; Gallien, L.; Richardson, D.M.; Ojeda, F. (Ecological Society of Australia, 2018)

  In ecosystems subject to regular canopy fires, woody species have evolved two general strategies of post-fire regeneration. Seeder species are killed by fire and populations regenerate solely by post-fire recruitment from ...

• High resolution temperature data for ecological research and management on the Southern Ocean Islands 

  Leihy, R.I.; Duffy, G.A.; Nortje, E.; Chown, S.L. (Nature, 2018)

  Southern Ocean Islands are globally significant conservation areas. Predicting how their terrestrial ecosystems will respond to current and forecast climate change is essential for their management and requires high-quality ...
