Portable, Benchtop and Micro‐XRF in Agriculture—Present and Future From the Hardware Perspective

open access: yesX-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been an important tool in agricultural studies recently. This technique allows the multielemental, direct, and in situ analysis. The objective of this review is to evaluate the use of XRF in agriculture focusing on plant and soil samples based on indexed articles in the Scopus database from 2020 to ...

Precipitation shapes colour polymorphism in a widespread spider

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Colour polymorphism, the presence of multiple colour variants within a population, is a common example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and has served as a model for studying drivers of diversity.

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

open access: yesFunctional 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,

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

Derechos de los animales y deberes de justicia

open access: yes, 2019
La defensa de derechos para los animales es promovida por Regan. Su enfoque de los derechos está basado en asignar un valor inherente a todo sujeto-de-una-vida, es decir, se enmarca en la idea de defender un estatus moral a partir de una categoría ...

Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Daily variation in ecological interaction networks is rarely quantified due to limited temporal sampling, yet network structure may change substantially within a single day. We show that plant–bee networks exhibit strong intraday shifts in composition and structure, and that sampling distributed across key daily periods better captures network ...

Relationship between spatial and social phenotypes in an avian scavenger

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
A method is applied to distinguish interaction rates that would be expected given animals' movements from those that exceed expected values due to incidental contact. The relationship between space use and both observed and non‐incidental social network position varies between social situations.

Unravelling Evolutionary Dynamics of Female Sexual Cannibalism and Male Reproductive Strategies in Spiders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...
