Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

Oikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Ecological significance of fruit displays in Myrtaceae: relationship between fruit colour, maturation stage, attractiveness and seed germination

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

The disruption of seed dispersal networks: disentangling the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores is a central process linking plant reproduction, animal foraging, population persistence, and ecosystem resilience. Currently, the spatial template sustaining these interactions is rapidly reconfigured by habitat loss and fragmentation promoted by human activity.

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...
