Body size is a better predictor of intra- than interspecific variation of animal stoichiometry across realms

The paper analyzes animal stoichiometry across species and body sizes, finding body size better predicts intraspecific than interspecific variation in elemental content.

Rewiring the carbon cycle: a theoretical framework for animal-driven ecosystem carbon sequestration

The paper develops a theoretical framework showing that animals significantly influence ecosystem carbon cycling by altering carbon storage and capture through direct and indirect pathways, increasing carbon sequestration by 2-3 fold.

Animal-vectored nutrient flows across resource gradients influence the nature of local and meta-ecosystem functioning

The paper develops a meta-ecosystem model that accounts for different types of consumer movement and shows their distinct impacts on local and meta-ecosystem functions.

Does where you live influence what you are made of? Spatial correlates of chemical traits across commonly occurring boreal plants

The paper examines spatial influences on foliar chemical traits in boreal plants, finding species-specific and trait-level relationships with environmental factors.

Patterns and potential drivers of intraspecific variability in the body elemental composition of a terrestrial consumer, the snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus)

The paper examines intraspecific variability in the body elemental composition of snowshoe hares, finding unexpected patterns in nitrogen content with age and phosphorus with body size.

Towards an applied metaecology

This paper discusses how metaecology can improve environmental change management by considering spatial interdependencies and fluxes of organisms, energy, and matter across scales.
