Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Climate stability drives multidimensional nestedness of amphibian assemblages in a Chinese sky island system

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The nested subset pattern (nestedness) has been widely used to explain species distributions in island and fragmented systems. Mountain sky islands serve as critical natural laboratories for understanding the evolutionary consequences of geographic isolation and climate

Larval diet breadth and wingspan mediate landscape–richness relationship in butterfly communities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Landscape structure and species traits both shape butterfly assemblages, but their joint effects, and how landscapes restructure trait space independently of richness, remain less understood.

Maternal glucocorticoids have persistent effects on offspring social phenotype irrespective of opportunity for social buffering

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study tests whether early‐life maternal association buffers offspring from the effects of prenatal stress in a facultatively social lizard. Despite clear effects of maternal glucocorticoids on growth and social behaviour, social associations did not mitigate these effects, revealing limits to social buffering in this species.

Half a century of echinoid population decline in the northern Gulf of Aqaba, Red Sea

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Multi‐decadal monitoring in the Gulf of Aqaba, northern Red Sea, reveals severe (>90%) declines of key echinoid grazers. These declines signify a collapse of crucial herbivory functions underpinning coral reef resilience. Results implicate accelerating anthropogenic stress as a principal driver, emphasizing the urgent need for sustained, species ...

Changing food availability and its effect on the heritability of offspring size in woodland passerine birds

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Vatka et al. investigated how changing food abundance affects evolutionary potential of offsprings' body size traits in two woodland passerines. Food availability increased over the 25‐year‐long study period, accompanied by increases in body mass.
