Proximity-centred accessibility – A conceptual debate involving planning practitioners worldwide Open
In recent years, the concept of proximity has garnered increasing attention in both transportation research and practice, albeit under various terms and interpretations. Among these, the concept of the 15-minute city has catalysed attentio…

Seasonal evolution of <i>Drosophila melanogaster</i> abdominal pigmentation is associated with a multifarious selective landscape Open
Pigmentation has been widely studied by evolutionary biologists due to both ease of measure and relationship to fitness. Drosophila melanogaster pigmentation has represented a particularly useful avenue of investigation, as extensive genet…

Competitor‐induced plasticity modifies the interactions and predicted competitive outcomes between annual plants Open
The competitive effect of one individual on another can have impacts beyond just reductions in performance. Because species plastically respond to their environment, competition can also induce changes in species traits, and in turn, these…

Linking relative suitability to probability of occurrence in presence‐only species distribution models: Implications for global change projections Open
Our ecological understanding of how biodiversity will respond to global change is to a large extent based on projections from presence‐only species distribution models. Despite the incredible utility of these models, we know that the predi…

Trait diversity in plant communities maintained by competition for water and light Open
Ecological communities frequently exhibit remarkable taxonomic and trait diversity, and this diversity is consistently shown to regulate ecosystem function and resilience. However, ecologists lack a synthetic theory for how this diversity …

Rigorous (in)validation of ecological models Open
The complexity of ecosystems poses a formidable challenge for confidently invalidating ecological models, as current practices struggle to distinguish model inadequacies from the confounding effects of unobserved biotic or abiotic factors.…

Global suitability and spatial overlap of land‐based climate mitigation strategies Open
Land‐based mitigation strategies (LBMS) are critical to reducing climate change and will require large areas for their implementation. Yet few studies have considered how and where LBMS either compete for land or could be deployed jointly …

Demographic but not competitive time lags can transiently amplify climate‐induced changes in vegetation carbon storage Open
How terrestrial ecosystems will accumulate carbon as the climate continues to change is a major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. Under growth‐stimulating environmental change, time lags inherent in population and com…

Competitor-induced plasticity modifies the interactions and predicted competitive outcomes between annual plants Open
Species can modify their traits in response to changes in the environment – a process known as phenotypic plasticity. Because species traits can plastically respond to competition, the competitive effect of one individual on another involv…

A unified theory for predicting pathogen mutual invasibility and co-circulation Open
A key aim in the dynamics and control of infectious diseases is predicting competitive outcomes of pathogen interactions. Observed pathogen community structure indicates both considerable coexistence of related variants and spectacular ins…

Competition for time: Evidence for an overlooked, diversity‐maintaining competitive mechanism Open
Understanding how diversity is maintained in plant communities requires that we first understand the mechanisms of competition for limiting resources. In ecology, there is an underappreciated but fundamental distinction between systems in …

Global spatial potential for implementing land-based climate mitigation Open
Land-based mitigation strategies (LBMS) are critical to reducing climate change and will require large areas for their implementation. Yet few studies have considered how and where LBMS compete for land or are mutually compatible across Ea…

Eco‐physiological and morphological traits explain alpine plant species' response to warming Open
Understanding the traits mediating species' responses to climate change is a cornerstone for predicting future community composition and ecosystem function. Although species' eco‐physiological properties determine their response to environ…

Coexistence in diverse communities with higher-order interactions Open
A central assumption in most ecological models is that the interactions in a community operate only between pairs of species. However, two species may interactively affect the growth of a focal species. Although interactions among three or…

Ecological lags govern the pace and outcome of plant community responses to 21st‐century climate change Open
Forecasting the trajectories of species assemblages in response to ongoing climate change requires quantifying the time lags in the demographic and ecological processes through which climate impacts species' abundances. Since experimental …

Integrating eco‐evolutionary dynamics and modern coexistence theory Open
Community ecology typically assumes that competitive exclusion and species coexistence are unaffected by evolution on the time scale of ecological dynamics. However, recent studies suggest that rapid evolution operating concurrently with c…

Relationship between Uveal Inflammation and Viral Detection in 30 Cats with Feline Infectious Peritonitis Open
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) virus is the most common infectious cause of uveitis in cats. Confirmatory diagnosis is usually only reached at postmortem examination. The relationship between the histologic inflammatory pattern, which…

Detecting and interpreting higher‐order interactions in ecological communities Open
When species simultaneously compete with two or more species of competitor, higher‐order interactions (HOIs) can lead to emergent properties not present when species interact in isolated pairs. To extend ecological theory to multi‐competit…
