Large-scale environmental disturbances may impact both partners in coral host-Symbiodinium systems. Elucidation of the assembly patterns in such complex and interdependent communities may enable better prediction of environmental impacts across coral

In this pilot study we investigated the early embryonic development of the recently described solar-powered nudibranch species Phyllodesmium lizardensis. In previous studies P. lizardensis has been used as a model system to study the symbiosis betwee

In this study, we examined two non-scleractinian taxa, the rare nudibranch Phyllodesmium lizardensis and Bayerxenia sp., the octocoral on which the nudibranch lives and feeds, to investigate the effect of experimental heat stress on their symbioses w

We surveyed bacterial communities in arid land bryophytic soil crusts (BSCs) and in three associated mite species (a tydeid, a neonanorchestid, and an oribatid) using 16S rRNA gene libraries. We compared these to cyanobacterial crust systems and soil

We examined the diversity of the photosynthetic dinoflagellate, Symbiodinium, over a 2-year period in two invertebrates from Australia’s Northern Great Barrier Reef: the nudibranch Phyllodesmium lizardensis and an octocoral of the genus Heteroxenia

Cryptobiotic crusts are threatened in arid systems, where they make up as much as 70% of soil cover. Crusts may provide important resources to soil biota. We inventoried microarthropods and small macroarthropods in mossy crusts at two pinon-juniper s

We examined the relationship between body size of Dipodomys merriami and specific climate variables for the years 1989 through 1996 at the Sevilleta LTER Station. Earlier work demonstrated a 2‐33C increase in both summer and winter temperatures at

Summary AimWe examined the relationship between species richness and morphological complexity of terrestrial mammal communities along an elevational gradient. LocationThe gradient is in the Sonoran Desert in Southern California and extends from a san

Earth system scientists have recently concluded that anthropogenic induced climate change is detectable. Because many aspects of an organism's ecology and evolution are influenced by environmental temperature, this suggests temperature mediated chang

There are vastly more plants and animals in the tropics than elsewhere. In the past 100 years, many hypotheses have been investigated, but no concise answer to what drives tropical diversity has emerged. One reason is that the usual way of examining
