The genetic population structure of riverine fishes is strongly shaped by the architecture of dendritic river networks, which can shift over both contemporary and geological timescales. Such river rearrangements are rarely incorporated into models of riverscape genetics, but they can have a profound effect on fish populations, especially when formerly ...

We uncover recent hybridization dynamics among three endemic Hypancistrus species from the Xingu River, including the critically endangered H. zebra. Mitogenomic analyses reveal unidirectional maternal inheritance and recent evolutionary radiation (< 0.5 Ma), explaining their retained reproductive compatibility.

Host Abundance Predicts Interactive Roles in Neotropical Bat–Bat Fly Interactions
We analyzed the influence of bat functional traits on their importance as hosts in bat–bat fly networks. Our results indicate that bat abundance is the main driver for host importance in Neotropical bat–bat fly interactions. ABSTRACT Host functional traits are known to shape host‐parasite interactions across multiple taxa.

Fire is an important driver of habitat selection by herbivores species and savannah ecology. The present study aims at assessing the fire role in determining the habitat selection by grazer species. Our results reveal that the majority of grazer species studied displayed a strong occurrences inclination towards recently burned areas during the season ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.
