Long‐term trends of epibionts reflect Mediterranean striped dolphin abundance shifts caused by morbillivirus epidemics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 553-569, March 2026.
This original research piece demonstrates, through empirical and theoretical modelling approaches, that the epibionts of striped dolphins indicate dolphin abundance shifts caused by epidemics of dolphin morbillivirus (DMV). In addition, we provide the first SIR model to investigate the epidemiology of DMV in western Mediterranean striped dolphins ...

Drought reduces the value of both artificial and natural wetlands for gulls breeding in the Mediterranean region

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
The importance of artificial wetlands for waterbird conservation can be easily overestimated from count data alone. The value of extensive fish ponds as a breeding habitat depends on maintaining the availability of natural marshes as a foraging habitat. This requires reducing impacts from groundwater extraction. Given recent abandonment of aquaculture,

Assessing contributions of deterministic versus stochastic processes to local species assembly: A field experiment with annual plant‐dominated communities in gypsum systems

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
In this study, we experimentally show that stochasticity can play prominent roles in driving local species assembly in annual plant‐dominated communities of semiarid gypsum ecosystems. Drylands are traditionally viewed as restrictive environments that impose strong deterministic filtering effects, but neutral events can also contribute decisively to ...

The making of novel ecosystems: A process‐based framework for measurement, analysis and application

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 683-704, March 2026.
Abstract Ecological novelty is emerging rapidly due to global change drivers such as climate shifts, species introductions, defaunation, and land‐use transformation. These changes challenge how we assess, understand and manage ecosystems in the Anthropocene.

Do Energetic Challenges Mimicking Missed Foraging Encourage Torpor Use by a Neotropical Bat?

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We experimentally tested whether Merriam's long‐tongued bat (Glossophaga mutica), a Neotropical nectarivorous species, uses heterothermy in response to reduced energy intake. We found that energetically challenged bats maintained subcutaneous temperatures significantly closer to roost temperature during the daytime inactive period.
