Changes in land cover drove the recent range expansion of a tropical farmland bird

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Several bird species associated with agricultural landscapes in the Palearctic and in the Nearctic (i.e. farmland birds) have been experiencing severe population declines since the 1970s, mainly due to habitat loss driven by agricultural intensification.

The ecological memory of landscape complexity shapes diversity of freshwater communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Land use change affects the biodiversity of terrestrial landscapes as well as of the freshwater systems they surround, and thereby numerous ecosystem services that are essential for human well‐being. Previous research suggests that freshwater systems show delayed responses to abrupt disturbances such as deforestation, however less is known about ...

Patterns and drivers of range filling of alien mammals in Europe

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biological invasions are major drivers of biodiversity change. Alien mammals are particularly concerning in Europe, where their expansion remains unabated, though the driving factors are still unclear. Well‐documented introductions and distributions in this continent provide a unique opportunity to understand how human activities influenced this ...

Male mate‐choice copying: a neglected aspect of sexual selection

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Mate‐choice copying occurs when the choices of others influence an individual's mating preferences. While this behavior has been observed across various species, most research has focused on female copying behavior. However, male mate‐choice copying warrants independent attention due to the distinct benefits and costs it entails for males compared to ...

Historical anthropogenic stressors affect bird ecology and feather development in neotropical forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fragmentation and habitat loss driven by agricultural expansion have significantly affected bird ecology. Additionally, the growing use of agrochemicals impacts ecosystems and avian communities. Tools such as isotopic analysis provide reliable proxies for assessing organisms' habitat use and diet, and can also reflect environmental alterations, such as

Co‐creating solutions to the hidden impacts of climate change on Canada's Pacific kelp forests

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Co‐designed research driven by the information needs of coastal communities can enhance social‐ecological resilience to climate change. On the Central Coast of British Columbia, Canada, the 2014–2015 marine heatwave triggered an outbreak of an encrusting bryozoan (Membranipora spp.) on giant kelp (Macrocystis tenuifolia), an ecologically ...
