The species-area relationship (SAR) is a well-established, globally recognized ecological pattern, and research on SAR has expanded to include the phylogenetic diversity-area relationship (PDAR). However, this research has generally been limited to terre...

Anammox bacteria can remove ammonium directly, which is different from what was previously believed. This is an important process for the global nitrogen cycle. Anammox bacteria were first identified in sewage treatment systems and were later proven to e...

Fungi are an important, yet often, neglected component of the aquatic microflora, and is responsible for primary decomposition and further processing of organic matter. By comparison, the ecological roles of terrestrial fungi have been well-studied, but ...

Developing a general, predictive understanding of ecological systems requires knowing how much structural and functional relationships can cross scales and contexts. Here, we introduce the CROSSLINK project that investigates the role of forested riparian...

Coastal foredunes are topographically high features that can reduce vulnerability to storm-related flooding hazards. While the dominant aeolian, hydrodynamic, and ecological processes leading to dune growth and erosion are fairly well-understood, predict...

We present a vulnerability-based approach for considering climate as a threat in regional conservation planning. The protocol is based on best available understanding of the climate sensitivity of species and systems of concern, has little reliance...
