The concept complements the insurance hypothesis that biodiversity increases and stabilizes ecosystem functions because population declines of one species with environmental change are compensated for by opposing responses of others. Accordingly, response diversity is a promising, but still largely untested, candidate mechanism explaining the generally positive relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem stability across a range of systems. In the 10 years since, Mori et al. (2013, Biological Reviews, 88, 349–364) reviewed the relationship between response diversity and ecological resilience (a key dimension of stability), the topic has garnered significant attention. Their review has attracted over 600 citations to date and continues to be well cited. However, in a recent review of empirical work on response diversity, we found fewer than 50 studies empirically measuring what the authors called response diversity. Here we discuss possible reasons for the slow uptake of empirical response diversity research, including lack of standardized methods and heavy data requirements, as well as next steps to achieve a robust framework for empirical research on response diversity and stability, such as by leveraging new methods and coordinating research efforts through interdisciplinarity. By identifying a disconnect between interest in response diversity and theoretical and empirical work on the topic, we hope this article will shed light on the challenges studies of response diversity must overcome, in turn catalyzing new avenues of research on response diversity, ecological stability, and ecosystem functioning.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 2","pages":"115-130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12434","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138506752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here, we investigated changes in forest structure and demographic rates and the effects of biotic and abiotic factors (sika deer, ambrosia beetle, neighborhood trees, and indices of strong wind and wetness) in a 4-ha long-term ecological study plot in a lowland warm temperate rain forest on Yakushima Island, Japan, from 1996 to 2019 for three regeneration groups related to gap dynamics (gap demander: GD, light shade tolerant: LS, and strong shade tolerant: SS). GD had relatively lower recruitment and survival than LS and/or SS. Changes in demographic rates were not significantly correlated with those in the index of strong wind in any regeneration group. The effects of sika deer on demographic rates did not differ among groups. Stems of Fagaceae species belonging to LS attacked by ambrosia beetles recorded in 2013 did not significantly differ in RGR and survival rates. Our results indicate that despite the relatively long monitoring period of 23 years, we did not detect significant effects of strong winds on demographic rates among regeneration groups, and shade-tolerant species (LS and SS) showed better demographic performance than light-demanding species (GD) and an increase in total basal area over time. We need longer monitoring of forest dynamics to understand forest responses to disturbances considering several factors, including the time lag of demographic responses to disturbances and the long-term effects of disturbances.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 2","pages":"192-205"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138506753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous studies have demonstrated the influence of seasonal pulse floods on community structures by facilitating species dispersal, but the effects of short-term flash floods have been poorly investigated. We investigated fish community structures before and after a short-term flood in drainage ditches of paddy fields in the Kita River basin, Japan. The study sites were classified into three connectivity types, “Transient” (connected only during the flood, with a temporally disappearing vertical gap between drainage ditches and downstream rivers), “Connected” (always connected, without the vertical gap), and “Disconnected” (always not connected, with the vertical gap). The abundance of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus, the only species that dispersed from paddy fields to drainage ditches, increased after the flood irrespective of the connectivity types, although the total abundance of the other species significantly increased after the flood only in the “Transient” sites. The dissimilarity of species composition between the (n − 1)-th and n-th surveys at each site was consistently low in the “Connected” and “Disconnected” sites, whereas it rose just after the flood and gradually declined in the “Transient” sites. Species composition was significantly different among the connectivity types, indicating that some fish species need stable connectivity even during the non-flood period. The results showed that the short-term flood facilitated fish dispersal from paddy fields by the increased water discharge and that from downstream rivers by the temporary removal of vertical gap, emphasizing the importance of hydrological connectivity for biodiversity conservation in an agricultural landscape.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 2","pages":"216-227"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138506758","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Acoustic repellent is a promising approach to deter problematic animals from ecologically sensitive areas. To develop an acoustic repellent system for a green anole that was introduced to the Ogasawara islands in Japan, this study evaluated the deterrent effect of (1) a pattern sound of machine noise and (2) a mixture of artificial and biologically relevant sounds. We created a sound level gradient inside a small experimental cage in a laboratory setting and measured whether green anoles avoided the vicinity of a speaker. In approximately 80% of cases, both the pattern machine sound and the mixture sounds prevented green anoles from stepping into the vicinity of a speaker (<24 cm). The mixture sounds maintained the deterrent effect at a middle distance from a speaker (<72 cm), whereas the pattern machine sound did not work as a strong acoustic repellent at this distance. These results imply that the mixing of biotic and abiotic sounds can improve the effective range of acoustic repellent for green anoles. However, several shortcomings of the acoustic repellent system were also highlighted. Since a green anole is an insectivore predator, our findings will contribute to protecting endangered native insect fauna from the predation of non-native lizard species.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 2","pages":"206-215"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136351844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, we combined the FG approach with the saprobic index and taxonomic richness to assess the ecological status of the river more reliably. The Bray–Curtis Similarity index highlighted the spatial clustering of river sites that corresponded well to the bioregions of the Eastern Lowlands and the Pontian Province. The Q(r) index revealed a higher variation in ecological status among sites than the saprobic index. Therefore, we argue that the FG approach provides a sensitive ecological status indication approach for river phytoplankton, including historical human impacts.

While habitat selection studies have been an essential tool for managing endangered species, they have not been widely used for invasive species. A prime example of an invasive species is the red-whiskered bulbul, which has spread to several parts of the world from Asia. This study focused on macrohabitat selection analysis during the winter of 2019–2020, with 200 point counts conducted over 784 km2 to identify habitats that are selected and avoided by the invader species in eastern Spain. In addition, the study analyzed 18 variables related to microhabitat, vegetation, and anthropogenic factors to determine those that are relevant for its abundance in the selected areas (74 point counts over 784 km2). The study found that the red-whiskered bulbul was not detected in natural Mediterranean vegetation such as forests and shrubs or crops, even though they were the dominant ecosystems, accounting for 52.8% of the study area. Instead, suburban areas were selected, and the species was more abundant near its initial release point and in areas with orchards containing fruit trees and plants. Therefore, the study suggests that natural Mediterranean habitats and crops may act as ecological barriers to the expansion of this species, while suburban areas would increase their ability to expand. The study's findings should be considered in managing the red-whiskered bulbul in Mediterranean areas.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 2","pages":"182-191"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135513089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Deciduous broad-leaf trees were dominant near the peaks, while evergreen broad-leaf trees dominated at lower elevations, whereas the relative dominance of beech trees was not significantly different. Near the peaks, the number of large-diameter beech trees forming the canopy decreased, and small-diameter trees were present. The proportion of small-sized trees was lower in the low-elevation forest area than in the forest area near the peak. Even at lower elevations, juvenile beech trees grew in limited areas on steep slopes along forest roads. These sites suggested that regeneration of beech populations is possible even at low elevation.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"38 6","pages":"753-763"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://esj-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12423","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135667881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report flowering phenology, flower production, and flower-visiting insects in an alpine site of central Taiwan. Throughout the research period (2017–2018), we recorded flowering phenology of 130 plant species, flower production of 81 species, and 15,127 insects visiting alpine flowers. Most of the alpine plants were visited by dipteran insects and/or hymenopteran insects. The seasonal patterns of flowering were more apparent in bee-visited plants compared to fly-visited plants in which the flowering of bee-visited plants clearly increased as the season progressed. About 63% of flower visitors were dipteran insects (syrphid and non-syrphid flies), and 30% were hymenopteran insects (mostly bumble-bee workers). Although the seasonal trend in fly abundance was less clear between years, bumble-bee abundance consistently increased in the middle to late seasons, reflecting colony development. There was a positive correlation between bee abundance and the number of flowering species of bee-visited plants, but there was no correlation between fly abundance and the number of flowering species of fly-visited plants throughout the season. These results suggest that the flowering phenology of subtropical alpine communities is influenced by the seasonal availability of pollinators. Bumble bees, syrphid flies, and non-syrphid flies had wide ranges of foraging flowers, but their niche overlap was relatively small. Because cold-adapted bumble bees are threatened by climate change in Taiwan, plant–pollinator interactions may be disturbed by global warming.","PeriodicalId":11434,"journal":{"name":"Ecological Research","volume":"39 1","pages":"27-41"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1440-1703.12426","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135825239","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Non-Asian countries, on the other hand, have focused more on theoretical understanding and ecological processes. The difference between Asian and non-Asian regions may have emerged due to the ecological challenges faced by Asian countries, such as rapid economic growth, land development, and climate change impacts. In both regions, deep learning related technology has been emerging (e.g., big data collection including image and movement). Within Asia, China has been the Asia-leading country for AI/ML applications followed by Korea, Japan, India, and Iran.
