Heatwaves are harmful to survival and reproduction in the guppy Poecilia reticulata, a livebearing freshwater fish

Merel C. Breedveld, Alessandro Devigili, Oliviero Borgheresi, Clelia Gasparini This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. Evidence that gradual climate change threatens biodiversity is growing. For instance, by forcing animals or plants to move to higher elevations or latitudes, global warming increases the risk of species extinction. However, the impact of climate change-driven extreme weather … Continue reading Heatwaves are harmful to survival and reproduction in the guppy Poecilia reticulata, a livebearing freshwater fish

Plant sex changes the outcome of ant-plant interactions in O. robusta—a facultative myrmecophytic cactus (including Spanish & Polish translation)

Mario A. Sandoval-Molina, José G. García-Franco, Cecilia Díaz Castelazo, Mariusz Krzysztof Janczur This is a plain language summary of a Functional Ecology research article which can be found here. Plants have developed different mechanisms to defend themselves against herbivore insects, like the production of extrafloral nectaries (EFNs). In exchange for extrafloral nectar, ants deter herbivores from the plants, thus decreasing herbivore damage and increasing plant … Continue reading Plant sex changes the outcome of ant-plant interactions in O. robusta—a facultative myrmecophytic cactus (including Spanish & Polish translation)
