Can biocrust moss hide from climate change? Fine-scale habitat sheltering improves summer-stress resistance in Syntrichia caninervis

This study shows that fine-scale habitat features, like slope and shrub shading, better protect mosses from summer stress than elevation-based climate differences.

Selection and Biodiversity change

The paper develops a new framework using the Price equation to show biodiversity change is driven by selection on species rarity, not competition or selection on species identity.
