Untangling multiple factors in spatial distributions: Lilies, gophers, and rocks
Despite broad consensus on the power of experiments, correlational studies are still important in ecology, and may become more so as spatial studies proliferate. Conventional correlation analysis, however, (1) fundamentally conflicts with the basic ecological concept of limiting factors, and (2) ign
Mating systems and sexual division of foraging effort affect puddling behavior by butterflies
Abstract. 1. Foraging effort can vary among age classes and between the sexes. In many Lepidoptera, young males feed from mud, dung or carrion in a behaviour known as ‘puddling’, whereas females rarely puddle. In at least one species, males transfer sodium gained from puddling to females at mating f
Effects of manipulated soil microclimate on mesofaunal biomass and diversity
Correlation of environmental parameters and insect abundance to bat foraging patterns
An exploration of the effects of ant-aphid interaction on host plant growth
Pollinator effectiveness of <i>Mertensia fusiformis</i>, <i>Delphinium nelsonii</i>, and <i>D. barbeyii</i>: is there one best pollinator to which the plant is adapted?
Oviposition preferences in the sharp-veined white butterfly, <i>Pieris napi</i>
Patterns and mechanisms of invasion of conifer (<i>Abies lasiocarpa</i> and <i>Picea engelmanni</i>) into aspen forest and montane meadow
Seed dispersal in Erythronium grandiflorum (Liliaceae)
The lack of a special seed dispersal mechanism in E. grandiflorum is discussed in terms of a source-sink model for seedling establishment with respect to distance from the parental plants, which yields a more complete estimate of Wright's neighborhood size, Ne.
