Goose herbivory alters soil microbial community functional potential in a sub‐Arctic wetland

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory alters below‐ground resource dynamics via direct and indirect mechanisms, yet its effects on microbial functional potential remain poorly understood. This limits our understanding of the mechanisms that link animal, plant and microbial functional roles in ...

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.

Contrasting associations between parental coordination and breeding success in albatrosses across differing environmental contexts

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study demonstrates that the benefits of parental coordination in albatrosses are context‐dependent rather than universal. Coordinated parental care enhanced reproductive success in stable environments, but had little effect in variable environments, where individual flexibility may be more valuable.

Why don't all birds lay early? Causes and consequences of breeding timing for a long‐lived migratory seabird

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Why don't all birds lay early? Our 16‐year study of Manx shearwater behaviour shows that selection on breeding timing fluctuates among years. We also find that lay dates are influenced by persistent individual differences, variation in non‐breeding duration, and pair synchrony, potentially constraining breeding phenological advancement under ongoing ...
