Climate shapes mammal community trophic structures and humans simplify them
Broad scale patterns in the distribution of animal community functional properties could be determined by climate and disrupted by human activities. Here the authors show global patterns in large-mammal trophic structure related to climate variation ...

Long-term assessment of birds' extirpation from a tropical agroecosystem
To better understand the processes that may lead to potentially avoidable extinction events, it is important to identify the influence of change in the communities at the local scale. We compiled bird lists from a field station with an artificial wetland

Mixing oak and pine trees in Mediterranean forests increases aboveground hydraulic dysfunctions
Mixing oak and pine trees enhances hydraulic impairments of all species, although diversity can mitigate drought stress during extended drought periods. Abstract Increasing tree species diversity in Mediterranean forests could reduce drought‐induced hydraulic impairments through improved microclimate and reduced competition for water.

Habitat Amount Shapes Ant Diversity in the Central Amazon
Ant diversity in fragmented Amazonian forest landscapes is primarily driven by landscape‐scale habitat amount rather than fragment size, supporting the Habitat Amount Hypothesis (HAH) over Island Biogeography Theory (IBT). Consequently, conservation strategies should prioritize maintaining and restoring forest cover across human‐modified landscapes ...

A subgeneric classification is proposed for Triepeolus—the second‐largest genus of cleptoparasitic apid bees in the world—and its sister genus Epeolus, with support from a newly presented dated phylogeny. Phylogenomic analysis based on ultraconserved elements revealed strong support for the monophyly of Triepeolus, which diverged from Epeolus sometime ...

Initial population size and resource availability are key factors regulating population dynamics, with growth rates typically declining as populations increase but rising with greater resources. In maize weevils, however, we found an unexpected negative effect of resource availability on intrinsic growth rates, contrary to conventional expectations. We

ABSTRACT Aim We aimed to quantify the relative contributions of geographic distance, environmental variation, and riverine barriers to shaping species distributions across the Amazon forest. Location Amazon forest, Brazil. Time Period Present. Major Taxa Studied Class Arachnida; Order: Opiliones (harvestmen).
