Food webs in river networksFood webs and river drainages are both hierarchical networks and complex adaptive systems. How does living within the second affect the first? Longitudinal gradients in productivity, disturbance regimes and habitat structure down rivers have long interested ecologists, but their effects on food web structure and dynamics are just beginning to be explored. Even less is known about how netwo... ...

Pigment dynamics and autumn leaf senescence in a New England deciduous forest, eastern USAThe leaves of woody plants at Harvard Forest in Central Massachusetts, USA, changed color during senescence; 70% (62/89) of the woody species examined anatomically contained anthocyanins during senescence. Anthocyanins were not present in summer green leaves, and appeared primarily in the vacuoles of palisade parenchyma cells. Yellow coloration was a result of the unmasking of xanthophyll ... ...

Forest structure and tree species distribution in relation to topography‐mediated heterogeneity of soil nitrogen and light at the forest floorWe investigated the patterns of soil nitrogen (N) and forest floor light availability, forest structure and tree species distribution along a topographic gradient on a 200‐m mountain slope in a cool‐temperate deciduous broad‐leaved forest in Japan. Rates of soil N mineralization and nitrification decreased from lower to upper slope positions, revealing that N availability decreased up the ... ...

The role of seed dispersal and seedling traits in colonization and coexistence of Salix species in a seasonally flooded habitatAbstract Regeneration traits of six co‐occurring Salix species were studied on a floodplain of the Sorachi River, central Hokkaido, Japan, and their colonization success and coexistence in a local habitat were discussed. Mixed Salix communities contained six Salix species; dominant:...

Root respiration rate before and just after clear‐felling in a mature, deciduous, broad‐leaved forestAbstract Soil respiration was measured throughout the year (June 1992 to May 1993) in a mature, deciduous, broad‐leaved forest and an adjacent, clear‐felled stand which was made in November 1991, in Hiroshima Prefecture, west Japan. The same soil temperature and soil moisture content as those in the forest stand were maintained in two frame boxes covered with sheets... ...

Effects of body size, age and maturity stage on diet in a large shark: ecological and applied implicationsAbstract Ontogenetic diet shifts are a widespread phenomenon among vertebrates, although their relationships with life history traits are poorly known. We analyzed the relative importance of body size, age and maturity stage as determinants of the diet of a marine top predator, the copper shark, Carcharhinus brachyurus , by examining stomac... ...

Effects of water level on sleeping‐site selection and inter‐group association in proboscis monkeys: why do they sleep alone inland on flooded days?Abstract A one‐male group (BE‐Group) of proboscis monkeys was studied along the Menanggul River, a tributary of the Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysia, from May 2005 to 2006. It has generally been assumed that proboscis monkeys only set up their sleeping sites along the riverbank; however, when more than 1 m of water covered the forest floor for more than 700 m inl... ...

Five‐year study on the autumn food habits of the Asiatic black bear in relation to nut productionWe studied the autumn food habits of the Asiatic black bear (Ursus thibetanus ) from 1993 to 1997, based on 202 fecal samples in the Chichibu Mountains, central Japan. Nuts occupied the highest proportions of autumn foods (59.9–85.8% important values). Although the proportion of nuts of Quercus crispula , Fagus crenata...

Below‐ground biomass in healthy and impaired salt marshesTwelve salt marshes in south Louisiana (USA) were classified as either ‘impaired’ or ‘healthy’ before a summer sample collection of above‐ and below‐ground biomass and determination of sediment accretion rates. The above‐ground biomass of plant tissues was the same at both impaired and healthy salt marshes and was not a good predictor of marsh health. However, below‐ground root biomass in ... ...

Natives adapting to invasive species: ecology, genes, and the sustainability of conservationAbstract Contemporary anthropogenic evolution is common. Biological invasions are an especially dynamic form of novel selection. This paper considers how native species evolve in response to biological invasions and the potential consequences of such evolution. Among numerous recent cases, the most widely reported instances are of phytophagous insects shifting onto ... ...
