Individual niche specialisation is widespread within animal populations and can have important ecological consequences. Predation and competition are known drivers of individual specialisation, but their combined effects are unstudied. This mesocosm experiment shows that competition and predation from a single antagonist can have variable effects on ...

The Osmium Isotope Signature of Phanerozoic Large Igneous Provinces
Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

When organisms use similar resources but at a different time, it is not obvious whether they can divide their temporal niches in a coexistence promoting manner or of something else should happen. This study shows that priority effects are a likely, but not self‐evident, outcome.

Reversing decline: The impact of spatial conservation on endangered northern bottlenose whales
Spatial protection of the Gully MPA in 2004 coincided with a shift in human activities and the first signs of population recovery for northern bottlenose whales. While this suggests that well‐designed MPAs can contribute to conservation outcomes even for highly mobile species, long‐term success likely depends on continued monitoring and effective ...
