Scaling the effects of size and temperature on animal consumption rates from individuals to populations in a subtropical reef fish

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Measuring how temperature and body size drive individual consumption rates is fundamental to predict how climate change might shape population‐level consumption pressure. Yet, such measurements remain rare.

Density dependent habitat selection in response to habitat loss in a coral reef fish

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat loss triggers a social chain reaction: adult reef fish crowd onto remaining coral, then spill over onto dead coral—and juveniles follow. This study reveals a novel, socially driven ‘bandwagon effect’ that may lead to ecological traps, highlighting hidden behavioural risks in degraded marine ecosystems.

Carbon pathways and trophic attributes are conserved in carnivorous reef fishes across a major human disturbance gradient

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our research leverages a natural, ecosystem‐scale experiment and cutting‐edge molecular isotope approaches to reveal that coral reef food web structure and energy flow can remain consistent across a gradient of human disturbance. Abstract Habitat degradation and overexploitation are key drivers of biodiversity loss globally.

Validating habitat suitability models for pine marten (Martes martes) reintroductions to England and Wales

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
We present a validated HSM for pine martens in Britain which can be used to identify areas for future reintroduction projects, such as Devon and Cumbria, as well as areas where woodland planting could be targeted to improve habitat suitability and connectivity.
