Journal ArticleDOI
Diversity of ageing across the tree of life
Owen R. Jones,Alexander Scheuerlein,Roberto Salguero-Gómez,Carlo Giovanni Camarda,Ralf Schaible,Brenda B. Casper,Johan P. Dahlgren,Johan Ehrlén,María B. García,Eric S. Menges,Pedro F. Quintana-Ascencio,Hal Caswell,Annette Baudisch,James W. Vaupel +13 more
TL;DR: Great variation among these species, including increasing, constant, decreasing, humped and bowed trajectories for both long- and short-lived species, challenges theoreticians to develop broader perspectives on the evolution of ageing and empiricists to study the demography of more species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Beyond species loss: The extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
Alfonso Valiente-Banuet,Marcelo A. Aizen,Julio M. Alcántara,Juan Arroyo,Andrea Aristides Cocucci,Mauro Galetti,María B. García,Daniel García,José M. Gómez,José M. Gómez,Pedro Jordano,Rodrigo Medel,Luis Navarro,José Ramón Obeso,Ramona Oviedo,Nelson Ramírez,Pedro J. Rey,Anna Traveset,Miguel Verdú,Regino Zamora +19 more
TL;DR: A novel model proposes a novel approach that relates the diversity of both species and interactions along a gradient of environmental deterioration and explores how the rate of loss of ecological functions, and consequently of ecosystem services, can be accelerated or restrained depending on how the rates of species loss covaries with the rateof interactions loss.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geographic variation in genetic and demographic performance: new insights from an old biogeographical paradigm.
Samuel Pironon,Guillaume Papuga,Guillaume Papuga,Jesús Villellas,Amy L. Angert,María B. García,John D. Thompson +6 more
TL;DR: A framework is proposed that integrates species' ecological niche characteristics together with current and past range structure to investigate spatial patterns of genetic and demographic variation across species ranges and disentangle the relative contribution of geographical, ecological and historical processes on the spatial distribution of Genetic and demographic parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of pollinators and herbivores on plant fitness suggests a pathway for correlated evolution of mutualism- and antagonism-related traits
Carlos M. Herrera,Mónica Medrano,Pedro J. Rey,Alfonso M. Sánchez-Lafuente,María B. García,Javier Guitián,Antonio J. Manzaneda +6 more
TL;DR: A simple, possibly widespread ecological pathway favoring the adaptive correlated evolution of mutualism- and antagonism-related plant traits in pollinator-dependent plants suffering intense flower and fruit herbivory is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Floral integration, phenotypic covariance structure and pollinator variation in bumblebee-pollinated Helleborus foetidus
Carlos M. Herrera,Xim Cerdá,María B. García,Javier Guitián,Mónica Medrano,Pedro J. Rey,Alfonso M. Sánchez-Lafuente +6 more
TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that between‐population differences in magnitude and pattern of floral integration in H. foetidus are probably best explained as a consequence of random genetic sampling in the characteristically small and ephemeral populations of this species, rather than reflecting the selective action of current pollinators.
