Animal migration amid shifting patterns of phenology and predation: lessons from a Yellowstone elk herd
|
Migration is a striking behavioral strategy by which many animals enhance resource acquisition while reducing predation risk. Historically, the demographic bene... |

Refugia: identifying and understanding safe havens for biodiversity under climate change
|
Identifying and protecting refugia is a priority for conservation under pro- jected anthropogenic climate change, because of their demonstrated ability to facil... |

The State of Greenhouse Gases in the Atmosphere Based on Global Observations through 2013
|
The WMO Global Atmosphere Watch (GAW) coordinates observations of the most important contributors to climate change: long-lived greenhouse gases(LLGHG). In the ... |

The floodplain large-wood cycle hypothesis: A mechanism for the physical and biotic structuring of temperate forested alluvial valleys in the North Pacific coastal ecoregion
|
A ‘floodplain large-wood cycle’ is hypothesized as a mechanism for generating landforms and influencing river dynamics in ways that structure and maintain r... |

The subnivium: a deteriorating seasonal refugium
|
For many terrestrial organisms in the Northern Hemisphere, winter is a period of resource scarcity and energy deficits, survivable only because a seasonal refug... |

Vulnerability of terrestrial island vertebrates to projected sea-level rise
|
Sea-level rise (SLR) from global warming may have severe consequences for biodiversity; however, a baseline, broad- scale assessment of the potential consequenc... |

Global shifts towards positive species interactions with increasing environmental stress
|
The study of positive species interactions is a rapidly evolving field in ecology. Despite decades of research, controversy has emerged as to whether positive a... |

Water-controlled wealth of nations
|
Population growth is in general constrained by food production, which in turn depends on the access to water resources. At a country level, some populations use... |
|
On a collision course: competition and dispersal differences create no-analogue communities and cause extinctions during climate change
|
Most climate change predictions omit species interactions and interspecific variation in dispersal. Here, we develop a model of multiple competing species along... |

A dispersal-induced paradox: synchrony and stability in stochastic metapopulations
|
Understanding how dispersal influences the dynamics of spatially distributed populations is a major priority of both basic and applied ecologists. Two well-know... |

Decline of Leaf Hydraulic Conductance with Dehydration: Relationship to Leaf Size and Venation Architecture
|
Across plant species, leaves vary enormously in their size and their venation architecture, of which one major function is to replace water lost to transpiratio... |

Developing a broader scientific foundation for river restoration: Columbia River food webs
|
Well-functioning food webs are fundamental for sustaining rivers as ecosystems and maintaining associated aquatic and terrestrial communities. The current empha... |

Integrated assessment of global water scarcity over the 21st century under multiple climate change mitigation policies
|
Water scarcity conditions over the 21st century both globally and regionally are assessed in the context of climate change and climate mitigation policies, by e... |

Mountain landscapes offer few opportunities for high-elevation tree species migration
|
Climate change is anticipated to alter plant species distributions. Regional context, notably the spatial complexity of climatic gradients, may influence specie... |

Molecular study of worldwide distribution and diversity of soil animals
|
The global distribution of soil animals and the relationship of below-ground biodiversity to above-ground biodiversity are not well understood. We examined 17,5... |

Biodiversity loss and its impact on humanity
|
The most unique feature of Earth is the existence of life, and the most extraordinary feature of life is its diversity. Approximately 9 million types of plants,... |

Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2C global warming is highly dangerous
|
There is evidence of ice melt, sea level rise to +5–9 m, and extreme storms in the prior interglacial period that was less than 1◦C warmer than today. Human... |
