Neotaphonomic Analysis of Bone Accumulation by a Nocturnal Raptor (Bubo bubo): Evidence From Avian Remains in Oliva Mountain (Tarragona, Spain)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Raptors play a major role in the formation of avian bone assemblages. To distinguish the agents responsible for accumulations, it is necessary to deepen their taphonomic patterns, derived from the consumption process carried out by the predator. These patterns aid in interpreting fossil assemblages, facilitating palaeoecological reconstruction

Refuge trifecta: intertidal gastropods use pits to escape heat, wave action and predation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Refuges play a critical role in ecology and evolution. In hard intertidal shores, small pits attract benthic invertebrates such as gastropods, however, there exists little mechanistic understanding of the processes driving the active usage of these microhabitat features. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess whether the marine snail

Do environmental fluctuations during development affect trait variation? An experimental test with salinity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

Habitat availability is insufficient to explain regional variations in white stork breeding habitat preference

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding species–habitat associations is key for making predictions of species distributions of relevance to ecology and conservation. Regional differences in species habitat preferences can hinder the transferability of habitat models in space and time, but our ability to account for these differences will depend on the mechanisms underlying them
