Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...

Contextually conspicuous species are more likely to be venomous: Habitat‐dependent aposematic colouration found throughout snakes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.

Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Agri‐food Trade between Visegrad Countries and Taiwan: Opportunities, Limitations and Twists and Turns Commerce agroalimentaire entre les pays du groupe de Visegrad et Taïwan : Opportunités, limites et rebondissements Agrar‐ und Lebensmittelhandel zwischen den Visegrad‐Ländern und Taiwan: Chancen, Grenzen und Wendungen

open access: yesEuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary This study examines the dynamics and potential of agri‐food trade between the Visegrad Four (V4) countries and Taiwan, using this regional case to highlight broader opportunities for EU–Taiwan economic engagement. While the V4 countries have not historically been major agri‐food trading partners with Taiwan, the analysis reveals untapped trade ...
