Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.

Trophic niche overlap decreases in related mesocarnivore species
In natural environments, competition between species is a crucial factor for the survival or demise of populations. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that promote species coexistence is crucial in community and evolutionary ecology. The phylogenetic limiting to similarity hypothesis (PLSH) posits that closely related species should experience ...

Most insect pollinators are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation. Forests, with their diverse canopy structures and sunlight penetration levels, create a mosaic of microclimates influencing these insects' behaviour.

Bats are a species‐rich mammalian order that provide a host of ecosystem services, but presently face threats from habitat loss, disease, climate change, and insect declines.

Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.
