Plasticity in parental care: Interspecific competitor cues shape biparental cooperation in a burying beetle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study contributes to our understanding of the effects of interspecific competition in species with biparental care where male and female parents must somehow coordinate their response to interspecific competition. Abstract Interspecific competition is an important evolutionary driver of many species' life histories and behaviours, arising wherever ...

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Human hunters are no substitute for vanishing apex predators

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study reveals that human hunters fail to replicate the collective and individual ecological functions of natural apex predators in sustaining biodiversity and promoting stable spatial patterns. These insights are vital for rethinking predator conservation and wildlife management in human‐dominated landscapes.

Landscape configuration and soil properties shape ant‐mediated seed dispersal in tropical dry forest agricultural landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that ant‐mediated seed dispersal components respond differently to local soil conditions and landscape structure in Caatinga agricultural mosaics. Low‐intensity rainfed croplands maintained or enhanced seed removal compared to natural remnants, highlighting how small‐scale agriculture can sustain key ecological processes in human‐modified dry ...

The Growth-Promoting Ability of Serratia liquefaciens UNJFSC 002, a Rhizobacterium Involved in Potato Production

open access: yesInternational Journal of Plant Biology
Several strains of the genus Serratia isolated from the rhizosphere of crops are plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) that may possess various traits associated with nitrogen metabolism, auxin production, and other characteristics. The objective of the

Framings of Intervention in Spain: From the Civil War to the Franco Dictatorship

open access: yesHistory, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the role of foreign intervention in the Spanish Civil War, the word intervención rarely appeared in contemporary media and official discourse. This article examines the expressions that Republican and rebel authorities used to represent the presence of outside forces in Spain.
