The oxygen uptake capacity of freshwater fish evolves to favour hypoxia tolerance in lentic species but locomotion capacity in lotic species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Oxygen supply capacity (α) is a physiological trait hypothesized to shape the metabolic niche and biogeography of aquatic breathers, yet how natural selection targets α remains unclear.

Individual bumblebee foraging repertoires: Implications for disease persistence

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Generalist species may be comprised of individual specialists. Individual specialization can impact disease transmission at shared resources by shaping contact patterns. Mathematical models of pollinator diseases that spread via flowers have shown that R0 can be greatly

An introduction to applied biogeography

, 1999
"Biogeography is about the geographical distribution, both past and present, of plants, animals and other organisms. Ian Spellerberg and John Sawyer bring a modern and new approach to an old subject.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Ecological scale mediates nonlinear relationships of animal nutrient excretion with dissolved organic matter

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that nutrient excretion by vertebrates and invertebrates varies nonlinearly with dissolved organic matter concentration and composition and by taxonomic rank, with stronger patterns at the individual compared to the community level. Our findings highlight the importance of examining animal‐mediated nutrient cycling across taxa and ecological ...
