Similar Metabolic Costs for Mangrove Tree Crabs (Aratus pisonii) in Historic and Range‐Shifted Habitats by Blaine D. Griffen, Zachary J. Cannizzo, Laura S. Fletcher, Shelby N. Gold, Bailey N. Marlow, Hannah C. Richardson, Rocky L. Seeley, Amanda C. Dominguez Villalobos

“…ABSTRACT Climate‐induced range shifts may displace species into novel habitats where their life history characteristics may differ in response to new physiological conditions. One such species is the mangrove tree crab, Aratus pisonii, that has expanded beyond mangrove habitats into salt marshes, with the help of anthropogenic structures such as boat docks that mimic its natural habitat in many ways. …”

Exploring Litter Decomposition, Nutrient Retention, and Sensitivity to Nitrogen Deposition Among Ancient and Recently Evolved Tree Species by Chaozhi Peng, Tong Chen, Wei He, Li Mei, Zeyao Zhao, Jie Fan

“…We hypothesized that (1) leaves and fine roots of recently evolved tree species decomposes slower than those of ancient tree species due to their higher C:N ratios and structural compound content; (2) the effect of N addition on decomposition rates differs across different decomposition stages and is influenced by the associated PFT; and (3) litter morphology and substrate quality are key predictors of litter decomposition rates for both ancient and recently evolved species. …”
