Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetic grouping, curvature and metabolic scaling in terrestrial invertebrates.
TL;DR: Interestingly, complex scaling models accounting for phylogenetic groups were able to remove curvatures except for a negative curvature at the highest temperatures indicating metabolic down regulation, which might indicate that the tremendous differences in invertebrate body architectures, ecology and physiology may cause severely different metabolic scaling processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recovery and resilience of tropical forests after disturbance
TL;DR: Results indicate that forests in Central America and Africa generally recover faster from past disturbances than those in South America and Asia, as do forests exposed to natural large infrequent disturbances compared with post-climatic and human impacts.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative analysis of the evolution of imperfect mimicry
Heather D. Penney,Christopher Hassall,Jeffrey H. Skevington,Jeffrey H. Skevington,Kevin R. Abbott,Thomas N. Sherratt +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the most plausible explanation is that predators impose less selection for mimetic fidelity on smaller hoverfly species because they are less profitable prey items, which supports the relaxed-selection hypothesis and rejects several key hypotheses for imperfect mimicry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Post-Movement Beta Activity in Sensorimotor Cortex Indexes Confidence in the Estimations from Internal Models
TL;DR: The results reconcile the two opposing motor and sensory views of the function of PMBS, and suggest a unifying theory in which PMBS indexes the confidence in internal feedforward estimation in Bayesian sensorimotor integration.

Microbial diversity drives carbon use efficiency in a model soil
Luiz A. Domeignoz-Horta,Grace Pold,Xiao Jun Allen Liu,Serita D. Frey,Jerry M. Melillo,Kristen M. DeAngelis +5 more
TL;DR: The results indicate that the diversity × ecosystem-function relationship can be impaired under non-favorable conditions in soils, and that to understand changes in soil C cycling the authors need to account for the multiple facets of global changes.
