Breeding seasonality in Charadriiformes on the Andean Altiplano is influenced by rain and possibly flood risk The Andean Altiplano in South America represents a remarkable mountain ecosystem with unique wildlife. However, knowledge of breeding ecology for birds inhabiting Andean Altiplano is scarce, relying ...

Temperature affects the quality of male frogs' mating calls: Females can hear the difference A study from the University of California, Davis, found that temperature affects the sound and quality of male frogs' mating calls.

Male frogs’ mating calls become faster and more appealing as temperatures rise, providing females with cues about optimal breeding conditions and environmental suitability. doi.org/hbn9z6

Root‐mycorrhizal foraging strategies shift with forest age more than with nitrogen manipulation Plant nutrient foraging depends on roots and mycorrhizal fungi, which are affected by plant carbon (C) investment and soil nutrient availability. The C supply for root metabolism and associated fungi...
