Biological interactions mediate context and species-specific sensitivities to salinity
Jonathan Bray,J. Reich,Susan J. Nichols,G. Kon Kam King,G. Kon Kam King,R. Mac Nally,Ross M. Thompson,Andrew O’Reilly-Nugent,Ben J. Kefford +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that community composition was influenced by both direct toxicity and tolerant-sensitive organism interactions, reinforcing that ecological processes require consideration when examining toxicant effects within ecosystems.

Modelling butterfly species richness using mesoscale environmental variables: model construction and validation for mountain ranges in the Great Basin of western North America
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used Poisson regression to develop a predictive model of species richness of resident butterflies in the central Great Basin of western North America, and evaluated the ability of the model to explain observed variation in species richness.

Kevin C. Rowe,Anang S. Achmadi,Pierre-Henri Fabre,John J. Schenk,Scott J. Steppan,Jacob A. Esselstyn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a survey of the state-of-the-art institutions in the field of bio-science and bio-engineering in Australia and the United States.

Ecological traits reveal functional nestedness of bird communities in habitat islands: A global survey
Thomas J. Matthews,Catherine Sheard,H. Eden W. Cottee-Jones,Tom P. Bregman,Joe Tobias,Robert J. Whittaker,Robert J. Whittaker +6 more
TL;DR: The results isolate the importance of island area in driving functional nestedness where it does occur and show that habitat loss results in the ordered loss of functional traits.
Alternative model formulations for a stochastic simulation of landscape change
R. O. Flamm,Monica G. Turner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, two stochastic model formulations, one using pixel-based transitions and the other patch-based, were compared by running simulations where the amount of information on which transitions were based was increased.
