Warming undermines emergence success in a threatened alpine stonefly: A multi‐trait perspective on vulnerability to climate change

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 1033-1043, April 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Vulnerability to warming is often assessed using short‐term metrics such as the critical thermal maximum (CTMAX), which represents an organism's ability to survive extreme heat. However, the long‐term effects of sub‐lethal warming are an essential link to fitness in the

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Circadian rhythms of hosts and their gut microbiomes: Implications for animal physiology and ecology

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 476-487, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Daily light–dark cycles shape the circadian physiology and behaviour of nearly all organisms, with variation in circadian phenotypes having cascading effects on individual fitness, species interactions and species co‐evolution.

Population dynamics of recovering apex predators: Golden eagles in a Mediterranean landscape

Journal of Zoology, Volume 319, Issue 2, Page 99-111, February 2023., 2023
Density‐dependence, resource availability and human pressure at territorial level drive population dynamics in a recovering apex‐predator population. Abstract Apex predators play a critical role in shaping the biological and functional diversity of ecosystems.

Biocrusts increase the resistance to warming‐induced increases in topsoil P pools

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 2074-2087, September 2022., 2022
Our findings provide novel insights on the responses of soil P pools to warming and rainfall reduction, and highlight the importance of biocrusts as modulators of these responses in dryland ecosystems. Our results suggest that the observed negative impacts of warming on dryland biocrust communities will decrease their capacity to buffer changes in ...

Impact of human disturbance on the abundance of non‐breeding shorebirds in a subtropical wetland

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1160-1169, September 2022., 2022
We studied the influence of human disturbance in shorebirds, a subtropical coastal wetland in Mexico. During the winter, all shorebird species were negatively related to human disturbance but positively associated with the presence of raptors. Understanding the factors influencing the abundance and habitat use of shorebirds on their non‐breeding ...

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.
