Thermal disruption of soil bacterial assemblages decreases diversity and assemblage similarity
(2019)
The metabolic theory of ecology assumes that rates of selection and adaptation for organisms are functions of temperature. Niche theory predicts that strong selection pressure should simplify assemblages as species are ...
Plants regulate grassland arthropod communities through biomass, quality, and habitat heterogeneity
(2019-10-16)
Habitat heterogeneity affects both biotic and abiotic factors important in determining arthropod community composition. In a sandy, mixed‐grass prairie in the southern Great Plains, we used clipping and NPK fertilization ...
On the geography of activity: productivity but not temperature constrains discovery rates by ectotherm consumers
(2019)
Consumer activity—the rate that individuals move through and discover items in their environment—can constrain population interactions and ecosystem services. We introduce a model that assumes consumer activity is co‐limited ...
