Elements on the move: How ungulate migration expands Alpine biogeochemical footprints

Through depositing waste products, animals influence the spatial distribution of elements across landscapes. Yet the relationship between animal movement and element distribution remains poorly characterized. We developed a spatially explicit agent-based model to test how migrato...

Trait Plasticity in Herbivore Populations Maintains Geographic Patterns of Herbivory on a Dominant Plant Species Under Warming

ABSTRACT Across species' geographic ranges, local populations may enlist behavioral, physiological, and morphological plasticity together to cope with stress from changing thermal conditions. But if local populations cannot sufficiently adjust their phenotype, then they may fail...
