Foraging and movement flexibility shape seed dispersal by an arboreal primate in a modified landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
As habitats change, the effectiveness of animal‐mediated seed dispersal increasingly depends on animal responses to altered structure and resources. With habitat loss and degradation accelerating across the tropics, understanding how dispersers' foraging behavior and movement influence seed removal and deposition is critical to promoting forest ...

From the brink of extinction to regulation: northern Europe's white‐tailed eagles now face density dependence and climate constraints after rapid population growth

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population growth reflects the combined influence of regulation and density‐independent factors operating through demographic processes. Under exceptional circumstances (e.g. populations recovering from near‐extinction), growth may initially be weakly regulated but typically slows as negative density dependence (NDD) sets in.

The niche variation hypothesis predicts hunting returns across human cultures

Oikos, EarlyView.
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) proposes that a broader population niche arises from greater individual specialization. Despite decades of empirical testing, research remains constrained to non‐human foragers, and the generality of NVH may extend beyond wildlife. The analysis of > 8000 hunting records from 12 human societies across four continents

Suppression of soil microbiota rather than neighbours facilitates absinthe Artemisia absinthium invasion in native grasslands

Oikos, EarlyView.
Many mechanisms can lead to successful plant invasion, but their importance is often context dependent. One such mechanism is allelopathy: chemical inhibition of neighbouring plants. The importance of allelopathy may be mediated by soil microbiota and environmental conditions, and depend upon the species or functional group affected.

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.
