The impact of gigafire on vegetation structure, terrestrial vertebrate abundance and diel activity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fire regimes are shifting around the world due to climate and land‐use change, resulting in an increased frequency of large and severe wildfires. However, the impact of extreme wildfire events on animal species remains poorly understood. Particularly lacking is an understanding of how fire affects animal behaviour.

Avian diversity changes in traditional agricultural landscapes of Japan over ten years

Oikos, EarlyView.
Agricultural intensification is a leading cause of biodiversity loss worldwide. However, the traditional agroecosystems are often associated with high avian diversity because of their landscape heterogeneity, offering available niches to different bird species.

Spatially‐explicit foraging by an apex predator linked to nearshore prey and their accessibility in lakes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat coupling – where mobile predators forage over broad spatial scales and, in doing so, link food webs from semi‐discrete habitat patches – has emerged as a major structuring force in lake ecosystems. For the cold‐water apex predator lake trout Salvelinus namaycush, food‐web structure and morphometry‐driven accessibility to nearshore areas in ...

Relatedness, trait evolution, and climatic niche divergence in mammalian island endemics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Island mammals have influenced ecological and evolutionary theory since Darwin, and many of them provide textbook examples of the dramatic morphological evolution that often occurs in island communities. However, patterns of evolution in the climatic niches of island mammals have yet to be fully explored.

Resource inequality limits transfer of nutrients from soils to plants in experimental grassland

Oikos, EarlyView.
A system's functioning is influenced not only by resource availability but also, likely, by resource inequality. In ecological systems most experimental manipulations of resource availability typically focused on homogeneous resource addition, or spatial heterogeneity of resources in a qualitative sense. Here, we test whether resource inequality per se
