No model to rule them all: a systematic comparison of 83 thermal performance curve models across traits and taxonomic groups

The paper compares 83 thermal performance curve models across traits and taxa to identify which models perform best under different conditions.

Broadening the ecology of fear: non-lethal effects arise from diverse responses to predation and parasitism

The paper compares non-lethal effects of predation and parasitism using a framework and amphibian data, finding stronger responses to predation risks than parasitism.

Life history scaling and the division of energy in forests

The paper tests niche partitioning in forests using data from over 114,000 woody plants, finding power law relationships in species abundance and resource use across size and light gradients.

Trait variation in patchy landscapes: morphology of spotted salamanders (Ambystoma maculatum) varies more within ponds than between ponds

This study quantifies within- and between-pond variation in larval spotted salamander morphology and finds greater variation within ponds, particularly in tail morphology and mass-length relationships.

A Global Framework for Estimating Acclimation and Thermal Breadth Predicts Risk from Climate Change

The paper develops a global framework to estimate thermal acclimation and breadth, finding that body size and seasonality influence acclimation capacity and predicting extinction risk for amphibians.
