Multimodal signals may evolve from unimodal one via co-option of primary signal components and associated cues that serve as by-products.

Offspring of plants selected at low and high plant diversity differently respond to global change drivers (nitrogen enrichment, drought), as reflected by their biomass production and trait expression, whereby plant-soil interactions play a significant role in these processes.

Delineating Episyrphus balteatus transregional movements and pollination networks advance a deep understanding of its migration ecology and facilitate the design of targeted strategies to conserve and enhance its ecosystem services.

Tropical land use makes most soil animal groups shift to 'fast' energy channel and restructures soil food web at community level, but this change is buffered by earthworms at ecosystem (energetic) level.

Transient increases in the hormone testosterone shift behavioral focus by influencing both spatial preference and vocalizations of a monogamous and biparental mouse in the wild.

A simple model provides an accessible framework to infer macroscopic parameters of effective resource competition from longitudinal studies of microbial communities.

Mammals use time along the 24-hr cycle to reduce risk, adapt, and therefore persist in urban ecosystems.

Noise-averaging cooperation (NAC) is a novel theory for the emergence of microbial cross-feeding by which noisy intracellular metabolism can promote cooperation and cross-feeding among cells.

An ecological trade-off between growth and death enables microbes with different dispersal strategies to coexist on particulate matter in the oceans.

Yuxisaurus represents the first unambiguous armored dinosaur to be recovered from the Lower Jurassic of Asia, confirming the rapid geographic spread and diversification of the armored dinosaurs throughout the northern hemisphere early in their evolution.
