Tropical Land-Use Change Disrupts Zeta-Diversity Across Taxa. [PDF]
Glob Chang BiolWe studied birds, dung beetles, and orchids across natural and human‐transformed habitats in the Colombian Andes to understand how land‐use change affects biodiversity. We found that deforestation simplifies ecological communities and reduces both rare and widespread species, especially orchids.

Effects of canopy connectivity on the arboreal ant community in coffee shade trees
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 1106-1113, November 2023., 2023 We manipulated connectivity between the crowns of large shade trees and found more species and increased compositional similarity in connected crowns. Differences in connectivity in the upper canopy may be important in structuring differences in ant communities in shaded agricultural systems and unmanaged forests.

Insights from experiences comanaging woody invasive alien plants in Argentina
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 4, October–December 2023., 2023 The complexities of invasive alien species (IAS) management call for a close collaboration among stakeholders to comanage effective solutions. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identified personal motivations as the main force that helps to overcome barriers to to IAS comanagement in Argentina. We recommend the development of spaces to share experiences and

A low‐cost IoT network to monitor microclimate variables in ecosystems
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1025-1034, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Microclimatic and macroclimatic data differ, and microclimatic data are most useful at short time intervals (30‐min scales rather than daily/monthly scales). We developed an end‐to‐end system to acquire such data at a high temporal resolution, transfer them to a server through an Internet of Things network using low‐cost technologies, and make

Variable relationships between trait diversity and avian ecological functions in agroecosystems
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 87-98, January 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The diversity of traits within animal assemblages has been shown to affect the magnitude of animal‐provided ecological functions. However, little is known about how consistent trait diversity effects are across ecological functions and ecosystems.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2386-2397, September 2022., 2022 The implementation of flower strips or maintenance of remnant semi‐natural habitats adjacent to sunflower fields showed context‐dependent effects on pollinator visitation rates and crop yield. In highly simplified agroecosystems, these interventions may be insufficient or may need longer times to produce significant effects.
