Environmental Variability Shapes Life History of the World's Birds Open
Theory suggests life history plays a key role in the ability of organisms to persist under fluctuating environmental conditions. However, the notion that environmental variability has shaped the distribution of life history traits across l…

Proximal remote sensing: an essential tool for bridging the gap between high‐resolution ecosystem monitoring and global ecology Open
Summary A new proliferation of optical instruments that can be attached to towers over or within ecosystems, or ‘proximal’ remote sensing, enables a comprehensive characterization of terrestrial ecosystem structure, function, and fluxes of…

Incorporating small‐scale disturbances in models of forest structure and aboveground biomass of tropical mountains Open
Several efforts have been made to model forest structure and estimate global aboveground biomass (AGB) magnitude and distribution. However, AGB models still show large uncertainties, especially over tropical mountains that are difficult to…

Land-Use Change and Management Intensification Is Associated with Shifts in Composition of Soil Microbial Communities and Their Functional Diversity in Coffee Agroecosystems Open
Despite the central role of microorganisms in soil fertility, little understanding exists regarding the impact of management practices and soil microbial diversity on soil processes. Strong correlations among soil microbial composition, ma…

Evaluating species origins within tropical sky‐islands arthropod communities Open
Aim To (a) evaluate whether colonization of newly emerged high‐elevation habitats occurred from neighbouring highlands (allopatric divergence and niche conservatism) or from within the same mountain (peripatric or parapatric divergence and…

Cognitive Maps Across Multiple Social Sectors: Shared and Unique Perceptions on the Quality of Agricultural Soils in Mexico Open
Incorporating the views and perceptions of local farmers and other actors with stakes in agricultural production is critical for better-informed decision making and tackling pressing issues, such as soil degradation. We conducted a study t…
