Across the edge: Spatial segregation drives community structure in tri-trophic multilayer networks at a forest-grassland edge. [PDF]

open access: yesJ Anim Ecol
This study reveals how forest–grassland edges act as ecological barriers that shape tri‐trophic interaction networks. Using multilayer network theory, it uncovers how species influence and biodiversity patterns emerge across spatial layers, offering novel insights into edge‐driven community assembly and conservation in fire‐prone mosaics.

Seasonality in niche occupation revealed through bird community functional structure in the southern Atlantic rainforest

open access: yesIbis, Volume 165, Issue 3, Page 986-997, July 2023., 2023
Seasonal variation in tropical and subtropical systems can have different effects on bird species depending on the resources they use and how they use them. However, despite recent research advances, knowledge of the drivers of the presence and abundance of species in different seasons is still limited for most tropical bird species.

Geographic patterns of tree dispersal modes in Amazonia and their ecological correlates

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 49-69, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim To investigate the geographic patterns and ecological correlates in the geographic distribution of the most common tree dispersal modes in Amazonia (endozoochory, synzoochory, anemochory and hydrochory). We examined if the proportional abundance of these dispersal modes could be explained by the availability of dispersal agents (disperser ...

Soil VOC emissions of a Mediterranean woodland are sensitive to shrub invasion

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 24, Issue 6, Page 967-978, October 2022., 2022
Shrub invasion led to reduced soil emissions of methanol, acetaldehyde and acetic acid and to higher emissions of acetone, compared to emissions from non‐invaded sites, whereby low soil moisture enhanced these differences. Abstract Many belowground processes, such as soil respiration and soil–atmosphere VOC (volatile organic compounds) exchange, are ...

AMAZONIA CAMTRAP: A data set of mammal, bird, and reptile species recorded with camera traps in the Amazon forest

open access: yesEcology, Volume 103, Issue 9, September 2022., 2022
Abstract The Amazon forest has the highest biodiversity on Earth. However, information on Amazonian vertebrate diversity is still deficient and scattered across the published, peer‐reviewed, and gray literature and in unpublished raw data. Camera traps are an effective non‐invasive method of surveying vertebrates, applicable to different scales of time

Plant invasion modifies isohydricity in Mediterranean tree species

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 9, Page 2384-2398, September 2022., 2022
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding of plant hydraulic strategies (i.e. the degree of iso‐/anisohydricity) is crucial to predict the response of plants to changing environmental conditions such as climate‐change induced extreme drought.

Fires in the Amazon Region: Quick Policy Review

open access: yesDevelopment Policy Review, Volume 40, Issue 5, September 2022., 2022
Summary Motivation The combination of institutional weaknesses, climate change, and overexploitation is increasingly recognized as endangering the Amazon forest. These three factors made 2020 the worst year for forest fires recorded in the previous 60 years.

Nonlinear plant–plant interactions modulate impact of extreme drought and recovery on a Mediterranean ecosystem

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 231, Issue 5, Page 1784-1797, September 2021., 2021
Summary Interaction effects of different stressors, such as extreme drought and plant invasion, can have detrimental effects on ecosystem functioning and recovery after drought. With ongoing climate change and increasing plant invasion, there is an urgent need to predict the short‐ and long‐term interaction impacts of these stressors on ecosystems.

Drought, fire and grazing precursors to large‐scale pine forest decline

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 27, Issue 7, Page 1138-1151, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Aim Temperate forests are currently facing multiple stresses due to climate change, biological invasions, habitat fragmentation and fire regime change. How these stressors interact with each other influences how, when and whether ecosystems recover, or whether they adapt or transition to a different ecological state. Because forest recovery or
