- 1From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedPersonality means an individual's unique way of behaving and reacting to the environment. It is a stable and heritable trait, which is expressed consistently in different situations. The aim of our study was to develop...
- 2From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedPrevious studies in the fynbos biome of the Western Cape, South Africa, have suggested that biological decomposition rates in the fynbos vegetation type, on poor soils, may be so low that fire is the main factor...
- 3From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedIncreased nitrogen (N) deposition, resulting from the combustion of fossil fuels, production of synthetic fertilizers, growth of [N.sub.2]-fixing crops and high-intensity agriculture, is one of the anthropogenic factors...
- 4From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedUnderstanding processes underlying spatial distribution of tree species is fundamental to studying species coexistence and diversity. This study modeled point patterns of tree distribution, expressed by Cartesian...
- 5From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe tritrophic interactions between plants, herbivores and avian predators are complex and prone to trophic cascades. We conducted a meta-analysis of original articles that have studied birds as predators of...
- 6From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedRiparian or streamside zones support dynamic ecosystems with three interacting components: flowing water, alluvia (river-transported sediments), and vegetation. River damming influences all three, and subsequent...
- 7From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe African elephant (Loxodonta africana) is a large-bodied, generalist herbivore that eats both browse and grass. The proportions of browse and grass consumed are largely expected to reflect the relative availability...
- 8From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedInvertebrate herbivores frequently face growth rate constraints due to their high demands for phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N). Temperature is a key modulator of growth rate, yet the interaction between temperature and P...
- 9From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedLong-distance dispersal (LDD) theory requires a method for marking live LDD pollen. Such a method must complement more intensive sampling methods inclusive of molecular cytogenetics, proteomics and genomics. We...
- 10From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedHemiparasites are known to influence community structure and ecosystem functioning, but the underlying mechanisms are not well studied. Variation in the impacts of hemiparasites on diversity and production could be due...
- 11From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedCore leaf traits, such as leaf mass per area (LMA) and leaf nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) concentrations in green and senesced leaves, are currently used to discern patterns of variation, constraints, and relations to...
- 12From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedLittle is known about the effects of waves on predator-prey interactions in the littoral zones of freshwaters. We conducted a set of mesocosm experiments to study the differential effects of ship- and wind-induced waves...
- 13From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWestern chokecherry (Prunus virginiana var. demissa, Rosaceae) is dispersed by frugivorous birds and carnivores, but it has large seeds that are potentially attractive to rodents that could act as seed predators and...
- 14From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedWe have examined the extreme longevity displayed by trees in relation to a theory mainly developed in animals, namely, the controversial rate of living (ROL) theory of aging which proposes that longevity is negatively...
- 15From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedPolyphenism is the expression of multiple, discrete phenotypes from one genotype, and understanding the environmental factors that trigger development of alternative phenotypes is a critical step toward understanding...
- 16From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe presence of small-scale patches of soil resources has been predicted to increase competition, because multiple species will proliferate roots in the same small area, and therefore decrease plant diversity. I tested...
- 17From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedSexual dimorphisms of dioecious plants are important in controlling and maintaining sex ratios under changing climate environments. Yet, little is known about sex-specific responses to elevated C[O.sub.2] with soil...
- 18From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedHuman disturbance may change dominance hierarchies of plant communities, and may cause substantial changes in biotic environmental conditions if the new dominant species have properties that differ from the previous...
- 19From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedPhenotypic plasticity may be critical for nutrient-limited organisms that allocate ingested nutrients to the competing demands of reproduction and survivorship. Leafhoppers that feed on xylem fluid allow assessment of...
- 20From: Oecologia. (Vol. 165, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedStudy of long-distance dispersal (LDD) theory requires a method for marking live LDD pollen. Such a method must complement the more intensive sampling methods involving molecular cytogenetics, proteomics, and genomics....
