Comparing approaches to quantify urbanization on a multicontinental scale

This study compares transect- and point-based sampling designs for quantifying urbanization across 136 cities, finding that sampling design significantly affects environmental variable capture.

Mosaic of local adaptation between white clover and rhizobia along an urbanization gradient

This study investigates local adaptation and coevolution between white clover and rhizobia along an urbanization gradient, finding stronger local adaptation in rhizobia and a positive relationship between their adaptation under nitrogen addition.

Environmental filtering and habitat (mis)matching of riverine invertebrate metacommunities

This study examines environmental filtering and habitat matching in riverine macroinvertebrate communities across nine U.S. ecoregions, finding variation in their drivers and predictors.

On the efficacy of restoration in stream networks: comments, critiques, and prospective recommendations

The paper reanalyzes Swan and Brown's (2017, 2018) stream restoration study, finds no restoration effects, and recommends regional approaches for successful restoration.

Ecological consequences of urbanization on a legume-rhizobia mutualism

This study examines how urbanization affects the legume-rhizobia mutualism in white clover, finding reduced rhizobium nodule abundance and a shift in nitrogen acquisition strategies.

Functional diversity plays a role in driving β-diversity: Or does it?

The paper re-analyzes data from Patrick and Brown (2018) to assess the role of functional diversity in driving β-diversity, concluding that environmental variation and γ-diversity have stronger influences.
