Functional group diversity of bee pollinators increases crop yieldProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - Tập 275 Số 1648 - Trang 2283-2291 - 2008

Niche complementarity is a commonly invoked mechanism underlying the positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning, but little empirical evidence exists for complementarity among pollinator species. This study related differences in three functional traits of pollinating bees (flower height preference, daily time of flower visitation and within-flower behaviour) to t...... hiện toàn bộ

While an increasing number of studies indicate that the range, diversity and abundance of many wild pollinators has declined, the global area of pollinator-dependent crops has significantly increased over the last few decades. Crop pollination studies to date have mainly focused on either identifying different guilds pollinating various crops, or on factors driving spatial changes and turn...... hiện toàn bộ
Impacts of regular and random noise on the behaviour, growth and development of larval Atlantic cod ( Gadus morhua )Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - Tập 282 Số 1817 - Trang 20151943 - 2015
Sophie L. Nedelec, Stephen D. Simpson, Erica L. Morley, Brendan Nedelec, Andrew N. Radford
Anthropogenic noise impacts behaviour and physiology in many species, but responses could change with repeat exposures. As repeat exposures can vary in regularity, identifying regimes with less impact is important for regulation. We use a 16-day split-brood experiment to compare effects of regular and random acoustic noise (playbacks of recordings of ships), relative to ambien...... hiện toàn bộ
Vocal plasticity in a reptileProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - Tập 284 Số 1855 - Trang 20170451 - 2017
Henrik Brumm, Sue Anne Zollinger
Sophisticated vocal communication systems of birds and mammals, including human speech, are characterized by a high degree of plasticity in which signals are individually adjusted in response to changes in the environment. Here, we present, to our knowledge, the first evidence for vocal plasticity in a reptile. Like birds and mammals, tokay geckos (

Historical ecology with real numbers: past and present extent and biomass of an imperilled estuarine habitatProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - Tập 279 Số 1742 - Trang 3393-3400 - 2012

Historic baselines are important in developing our understanding of ecosystems in the face of rapid global change. While a number of studies have sought to determine changes in extent of exploited habitats over historic timescales, few have quantified such changes prior to late twentieth century baselines. Here, we present, to our knowledge, the first ever large-scale quantitative assessme...... hiện toàn bộ
Corals escape bleaching in regions that recently and historically experienced frequent thermal stressProceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences - Tập 276 Số 1669 - Trang 2893-2901 - 2009
D. M. Thompson, Robert van Woesik
The response of coral-reef ecosystems to contemporary thermal stress may be in part a consequence of recent or historical sea-surface temperature (SST) variability. To test this hypothesis, we examined whether: (i) there was a relationship between the historical frequency of SST variability and stress experienced during the most recent thermal-stress events (in 1998 and 2005–2...... hiện toàn bộ
