Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Resting behaviour as a target for innovative mosquito control strategies

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract This work reviews and discusses how a deeper knowledge of mosquito time‐allocation, particularly resting periods, can enhance the effectiveness and deployment of classical vector control tools. As more high‐resolution data are gathered by novel tracking devices, follow‐up questions investigating mosquito behaviour are likely to arise ...

All‐in‐one, versatile and low‐cost experimental set‐up to implement environmental stochasticity in mesocosms (PiStoch)

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental stochasticity in abiotic factors is inherent to ecosystems and is exacerbated by global change. However, experimental protocols typically cancel this factor by using cyclic or constant conditions, limiting the study of environmental variations.

A low‐cost, highly flexible, open‐source setup design with digital LEDs for research on artificial light at night

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of growing relevance, yet its impact on organisms remains poorly understood. Present studies point to rather negative impacts of ALAN on species and ecosystems. Most research on ALAN uses conventional LED technology without simulating the complex spatial and temporal facets of ALAN ...
