Predator‐guild‐specific parental responses mitigate higher predation risk on ground nests close to forest patches in a mosaic landscape

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1151-1162, July 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
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.

Surface complexity and gastropod exclusion drive colonization of an intertidal eco‐engineered structure

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
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 ...

Using Metabarcoding Techniques to Map Multiple Dung Beetle‐Vertebrate iDNA Networks in a Southeast Asian Forest

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 5, July 2026.
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

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2092-2103, July 2026.
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 ...
