The structure of tropical bat-plant interaction networks during an extreme El Niño-Southern Oscillation event. [PDF]
Abstract Interaction network structure reflects the ecological mechanisms acting within biological communities, which are affected by environmental conditions. In tropical forests, higher precipitation usually increases fruit production, which may lead frugivores to increase specialization, resulting in more modular and less nested animal–plant ...

Severe limitations of the FEve metric of functional evenness and some alternative metrics. [PDF]
The index of functional evenness FEve has critical conceptual and practical drawbacks. We recommend not using FEve metric in studies of functional variability. Instead, we suggest three alternative metrics that combine variability in species distances in trait space with abundance in various ways.
