Diversity and Plasticity of Hydraulic Traits Across a Relative Moisture Supply Gradient: Results From Multiple Common Gardens

ABSTRACT Maintaining cellular hydration is essential for plant metabolic activity and carbon gain. Plants typically maintain hydration through efficiency of water transport networks, the ability to avoid network disruption, and retention of water via accumulation of osmotica. Giv...

Potential predation impacts of invasive non-native rodents (black rats) on plant species from a Pacific Island (Lord Howe Island, Australia)

Context Invasive non-native rodents pose a significant threat to a range of plants on oceanic islands, particularly where there are high levels of endemism. Aims On Lord Howe Island in the western Pacific Ocean, prior to rodent eradication measures, we used selective caging and c...
