Limited impacts of simulated soil disturbance by rewilded vertebrates on above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
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

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
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 ...

Fly pollinator foraging in boreal forests is shaped by climate, forest structure and flower resources

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
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.

Temporal Study of Environmental DNA and Acoustic Data Reveals Coexistence of Sympatric Bat Species in a North American Ecosystem

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA
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.

Native ants learn how to deal with cues of invasive species: responses to footprints of invasive ants are shaped by experience

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
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).

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
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.
