Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

When is the bait worth the risk? A mechanistic model of a compensatory ecological trap in seabirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological traps occur when organisms preferentially select habitats that reduce fitness. In seabird–fishery systems, fishery‐derived trophic subsidies can increase foraging success, reinforce habitat preference and indirectly enhance reproductive output or recruitment,

Scaling temperature‐dependent dispersal rates to metacommunity dynamics: An experimental test

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Changes in community structure under shifting thermal regimes depend on how both local population dynamics and regional dispersal respond to temperature. Processes underlying dispersal, such as movement speed and demographic density dependence, are constrained by ...
