Avian blood parasite infection during the non-breeding season: an overlooked issue in declining populations?
Jenny C Dunn, Simon J Goodman, Tim G Benton, Keith C Hamer BMC Ecology 2013, 13:30 (6 September 2013)
Abstract | Full text | PDF

|
Editor’s summary
Yellowhammers infected with the blood parasite Haemoproteus suffer a survival disadvantage and immunological challenge during the overwintering period, highlighting the need to consider the effects of sub-clinical disease in the non-breeding season for vulnerable populations. |

Love thy neighbour: facilitation through an alternative signalling modality in plants
Monica Gagliano, Michael Renton BMC Ecology 2013, 13:19 (7 May 2013)
Abstract | Full text | PDF

|
Editor’s summary
Chilli seedlings germinate better when grown in the presence of ‘good neighbour’ plants like basil even when all forms of chemical and visual signals are blocked, suggesting that an as-yet unidentified system of communication exists between plants. |

Feeding height stratification among the herbivorous dinosaurs from the Dinosaur Park Formation (upper Campanian) of Alberta, Canada
Jordan C Mallon, David C Evans, Michael J Ryan, Jason S Anderson BMC Ecology 2013, 13:14 (4 April 2013)
Abstract | Full text | PDF
| ePUB | PubMed
|
Editor’s summary
Stratification of feeding heights among herbivorous dinosaurs of the Dinosaur Park Formation, Canada, is unlikely to have played a role in dietary niche partitioning, suggesting another evolutionary mechanism drove the diversification of dinosaurs in this region. |

The phylogenetic signal of species co-occurrence in high-diversity shrublands: different patterns for fire-killed and fire-resistant species
Marcel Cardillo BMC Ecology 2012, 12:21 (27 September 2012)
Abstract | Full text | PDF
| PubMed
|
Editor’s summary
Fire-killed and fire-resistant Banksia species show different community phylogenetic patterns, suggesting that analyses based on pairwise species co-occurrence may be more informative than those based on whole community structure metrics.
