Predation increases close to habitat edges, but how animals cope with local predation variations remained poorly studied. In a mosaic landscape, lapwings were compensating for increased nest predation close to forests. They acted more aggressively towards an avian predator when nesting close to trees, but comparatively tamer against a mammal.

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Habitat complexity and grazing by invertebrate molluscs shaped community structure and ecosystem functioning on eco‐engineered substrates through distinct mechanisms. Increasing structural complexity increased invertebrate species richness with limited effects on macroalgae and carbon flux, while grazer exclusion had strong effects on macroalgal ...

ABSTRACT Given the high levels of endemism, diversity, and increasing anthropogenic impacts in tropical regions, studies on species interactions and ecological networks are urgently needed to understand community responses to environmental change. Increasingly, molecular methods are used to monitor biodiversity and identify species interactions.

Goby gummies: A customizable and edible assay to quantify predation in aquatic ecosystems
Abstract Predation is a critical ecosystem process that shapes the structure and functioning of biological communities. However, due to its intermittent nature, fast pace and general unpredictability, predation is difficult to observe and quantify. Therefore, we commonly rely on indirect metrics or proxies of predation, which reflect the outcome of ...
