Spatial Representativeness of MexFlux as a Regional FLUXNET Network

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Environmental observatory networks are fundamental in advancing scientific understanding of biogeochemical processes. FLUXNET is a global network of regional eddy covariance networks that measure ecosystem‐scale exchanges of greenhouse gases (e.g., CO2, CH4, H2O) and energy between the biosphere and the atmosphere.

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3372-3384, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Diversity modulates above‐ground productivity in response to disturbances: The case of Iberian forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 12, Page 3605-3621, December 2025.
We analysed whether forest productivity responses to disturbances were modulated by structural and functional diversity, as well as by functional dominance, and whether these responses vary among functional groups. Forest diversity can mitigate the negative effects of disturbances on productivity.

Nest box location determines the exposure of the host to ectoparasites

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology, 2020
Nest box supplementation is a widely used technique to aid in the conservation of cavity nesting bird species. However, the criteria to choose the best location for nest boxes has seldom considered the likely exposure of cavity-users to parasites.

Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Reintroducing Cuvier’s gazelle. Better than expected from captive-bred founders

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation, 2020
The use of captive-bred animals as founder stock for reintroduction is sometimes discouraged due to their low genetic diversity and even accumulation of deleterious alleles. In October 2016, 43 Cuvier’s gazelles (12 males and 31 females), managed under a
