Crossing thermal boundaries: Quantifying the impact of sublethal heat stress on growth in black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens)

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ectothermic responses to permissive temperatures that support growth, maintenance and repair are typically modelled by thermal performance curves (TPC). In contrast, thermal death time (TDT) models are well suited to describe the potent, exponential accumulation of ...

Foraging activity by an ecosystem engineer, the superb lyrebird, ‘farms’ its invertebrate prey

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 5, Page 848-862, May 2025.
We show that the superb lyrebird, an ecosystem engineer, undertakes a unique form of resource farming through its foraging activity. By modulating litter and soil habitats on the forest floor, lyrebirds create conditions conducive to their invertebrate prey, increasing richness and biomass and resulting in a remarkable farming feedback loop.
