The canopies of European forests are being increasingly disturbed by drought and other drivers, many of which are associated with climate change. This Perspective discusses how such disturbances will lead to changed light conditions at the forest floor, with consequences for below-canopy biodiversity and functions.
This Perspective discusses common features of curable cancers to gain insights into the evolutionary and developmental determinants of drug resistance.
Wildlife are affected by human movement and static human infrastructure. In this Perspective, the authors propose a ‘dynamic human footprint’ that incorporates metrics accounting for time-varying human activities.
This Perspective discusses four questions of evolutionary biology that bridge macro and microevolution perspectives and proposes future research avenues to link evolutionary mechanisms and processes.
In this Perspective, Karst et al. discuss how both the popular media and scientific literature have inflated the extent of evidence for various roles of mycorrhizal fungal networks in forests.
The authors outline a framework for predicting animal population collapse under external stressors, based on a predictable sequence of observable changes through time.
