Dimensional consideration of the relationship between organism abundance and body size

Ford Ballantyne IV
doi.org/10.1111/1440...

dimensional analysis/ energetics/ life history/ scalingA
A dimensional analysis is used to identify functional relationships between organism abundance and energy, body size, and ecological interactions. The most parsimonious result is consistent with an exponent of −1 for the scaling relationship between abundance and body size. Other values can be obtained by considering life history and other ecological interactions.

The impact of slope position on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem multifunctionality in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau subalpine meadows

multi-threshold method/ plant diversity/ soil #biodiversity
1. Slope position can alter plant–soil–soil organism interactions, ultimately affecting EMF. 2. Plant phylogenetic diversity and soil ciliate diversity are the strongest drivers of EMF. 3. Biotic and abiotic factors together mediate EMF at different slope positions.

Influence of land use evolution on ecological environment quality in the mountainous areas of Shiqian, Southwest China: Spatiotemporal characteristics and driving exploration

Quan Wang, Xiu Li
esj-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/INSE3U...

ecological restoration
Based on the land use data from Shiqian County during 2005 to 2020, methods such as spatial autocorrelation, centroid migration, and multiple logistic regression were employed to explore the spatiotemporal differentiation characteristics of land use change and its ecological environment effects, as well as the explanatory degree of driving factors. The results show that Shiqian County, as a typical mountainous area, demonstrates that, under the guidance of the local government and relevant departments, land use in the karst mountainous region has gradually developed in a rational direction, and the ecological environment has gradually improved.

Canopy cover instigating feces deposition on paved roads in urban areas

Harsh Yadav, Yuki Iwachido, Takehiro Sasaki
esj-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/MCRXXI...

birds/ endozoochory/ fecal deposition/ #seed dispersal/ urbanization/ #ornithology
Paved roads in urban areas impact seed dispersal by altering feces deposition patterns within and near forest fragments. This study in Yokohama, Japan, recorded 1976 feces on paved roads and found that canopy cover significantly influenced deposition. The findings suggest that paved roads contribute to seed dispersal disservice, highlighting the need for management of paved roads in urban forests to mitigate their effects on ecological processes.

Disentangling biotic and abiotic factors influencing host–parasitoid interactions of butterflies, tachinid flies, and nematodes

Yen-Hua Yeh, Hidenori Deto, Tadashi Miyashita
doi.org/10.1111/1440...

food web/ grassland/ Lycaenidae/ mutualistic ant/ precipitation
The defensive function of mutualistic ants for the Reverdin's Blue butterfly against two groups of parasitoids (tachinid flies and mermithid nematodes) differs among ant species, and this is affected by the number of precipitation days in the larval period of the butterfly. Camponotus japonicus is the most effective against flies, while Lasius japonicus against nematodes. The effect of rainfall is negative for fly parasitism but positive for nematode parasitism. Note that darker blue circles in the triangle indicate lower AIC values.
