Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

Oikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...

The Azores - A Forgotten Biodiversity Hotspot

, 2001
Les Azores sont un « hotspot » de biodiversite, mais les recherches internationales de biodiversite en ne tiennent pas compte. La biodiversite considerable des Azores n' est pas menace par des pressions humaines, comme par exemple aux iles Canaries. Mais il y a certains problemes de conseration du milieu dus aux phenomenes d'invasion biologique.
