Biodiversity hotspots for conservation priorities
Norman Myers,Russell A. Mittermeier,Cristina G. Mittermeier,Gustavo A. B. da Fonseca,Jennifer Kent +4 more
TL;DR: A ‘silver bullet’ strategy on the part of conservation planners, focusing on ‘biodiversity hotspots’ where exceptional concentrations of endemic species are undergoing exceptional loss of habitat, is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host plant quality and fecundity in herbivorous insects
TL;DR: It is concluded that host plant quality affects the fecundity of herbivorous insects at both the individual and the population scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptation to Sun and Shade: a Whole-Plant Perspective
TL;DR: Adaptation to irradiance level is explored, focusing on traits whose significance would be elusive if considered in terms of their impact at the leaf level alone, and three energetic tradeoffs likely to shape such adaptation are outlined, involving the economics of gas exchange, support, and biotic interactions.

Cross-scale Drivers of Natural Disturbances Prone to Anthropogenic Amplification: The Dynamics of Bark Beetle Eruptions
Kenneth F. Raffa,Brian H. Aukema,Barbara J. Bentz,Allan L. Carroll,Jeffrey A. Hicke,Monica G. Turner,William H. Romme +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework using one system as a model, emphasizing interactions across levels of biological hierarchy and spatiotemporal scales is presented, and the dynamics are bidirectional as landscape features influence how lower-scale processes are amplified or buffered.
