Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Mass mortality from disease epidemics challenges the resistance and resilience of populations and communities. Assessing the impacts and consequences of such events is crucially dependent on long‐term datasets. In 2013–2016, sea star wasting disease (SSWD) caused population‐wide crashes of the archetypal keystone species, the sea star Pisaster

Luring cannibal: Dishonest sexual signalling in the springbok mantis
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2849-2859, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual signals that attract the opposite sex are typically honest indicators of quality. However, sexually antagonistic selection can favour dishonest signals if poor quality members of the signalling sex can improve their own fitness at a cost to the opposite sex by ...

Honest signalling in predator–prey interactions: Testing the resource allocation hypothesis
Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 10, Page 2833-2848, October 2025.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Warning signals are honest if they reliably deliver information about prey unprofitability to predators. One potential mechanism that may create and maintain a positive relationship between the strength of signals and defence is the resource allocation between these ...

Guild diversity impacts demographic outcomes of novel species interactions following range shifts
Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 10, Page 2062-2078, October 2025.This study applies the theory of biotic resistance, a common concept in invasion ecology, to the world of climate driven range shifts, and finds support that biotic resistance may create a life‐stage dependent benefit to resident species, alleviating the competitive impacts of range shifters on native communities.

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 5, Page 2099-2115, October 2025.ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can
