TL;DR: Ecosystem ecologists are now addressing the role of plant disease in ecosystem processes and the challenge of scaling up from individual infection probabilities to epidemics and broader impacts.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared phenology (the timing of recurring life history events) in observational studies and warming experiments spanning four continents and 1,634 plant species using a common measure of temperature sensitivity (change in days per degree Celsius).

TL;DR: Test the hypothesis that phenological sensitivity could be used to predict species performance in a warming climate, by synthesizing results across terrestrial warming experiments and found that species that advanced their phenology with warming also increased their performance, whereas those that did not advance tended to decline in performance with warming.

TL;DR: Influence du risque du a la presence de predateurs and a au jeune subit sur le taux d'accouplement and sur sa duree.

TL;DR: A computer-simulation model of mate choice, featuring two different quality groups (based on offspring per mating) in each sex, finds the opportunity for selection for mate quality is highest at intermediate densities of predators and of potential mates.
