Phenology modulates the top-down control of ants on bird ectoparasites: from mutualism to antagonism [PDF]

Communications Biology
Bird–ant interactions are diverse but rarely tested experimentally, limiting their integration into ecological theory. One hypothesized but unverified benefit is ant-mediated parasite control in bird nests.

Alien and Potentially Invasive Plants in Four Lagoons on the Island of Cozumel, Mexico [PDF]

Plants, 2023
The expansion of alien invasive species is a worldwide threat that affects most ecosystems. Islands and freshwater ecosystems are among the most vulnerable to species invasion, resulting in reduced biodiversity.

Size, not color, drives assortative mating and influences fledging survival, weight and immunity in a polymorphic owl [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The persistence of color polymorphism in nature may be driven by disassortative mating based on color. In vertebrates, body size sometimes correlates with coloration, complicating mating patterns, as the selective pressures favoring mixed-color pairs ...

Boosting multifunctionality through adaptive trait-based species addition in ongoing restoration projects. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract As trait‐based restoration practices continue to gain momentum, there is still an absence of effective methods to monitor ongoing restoration and, if necessary, amend species composition to achieve multiple restoration targets. This challenge is even greater in long‐term restoration projects, as a result of different techniques and restoration

Beyond species means - the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Soil microbial communities in contrasting environments show a common core of species linked to Maytenus senegalensis shrubs [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionThe existence of a core microbiota specific to a plant species, or the set of microorganisms shared by all plant individuals of the species, is of utmost importance because of its many conceptual and practical consequences.
