Interactive effects of plant litter type and yak excrement on litter decomposition in a shrub‐encroached alpine meadow

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In the plant community with a shrub–grass mosaic, the main types of litter include herbaceous litter and its mixed forms with shrub leaves and stems. However, the quantitative relationship between the litter composition type and the litter decomposition, as well as how ...

Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Arthropod abundances track soil fertility across a lowland tropical forest landscape

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals strong, diverse associations between soil phosphorus and the abundances of understorey arthropods across a lowland tropical forest landscape. These patterns were not paralleled in an adjacent site‐level fertilisation experiment, raising the interesting possibility that arthropod–phosphorus associations could be mediated by spatial ...

Network dynamics revealed from eDNA highlight seasonal variation in urban mammal communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our novel study applied eDNA to track seasonal shifts in urban mammal communities, revealing changes in diversity and species interaction networks across 21 urban parks in Detroit. We highlight the influence of park size and human activity on biodiversity, demonstrating the utility of eDNA for urban conservation and wildlife management.
