Microclimate mediates the strength and direction of avian biotic interactions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Theory predicts that the strength and direction of species interactions can shift from being competitive in benign environments toward being facilitative in stressful environments. However, the environmental context dependency of species interactions has rarely been tested in animal communities.

Global distribution of avian plumage coloration and patterning: the relative influence of climate, ecology, and sexual selection

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Animal coloration exhibits substantial biogeographic variation, reflecting complex adaptations to both abiotic and biotic environments. Although the evolutionary mechanisms underlying avian plumage coloration have been widely studied, geographic variation in plumage patterning has received far less attention.

Continental scale metagenomics reveals Microcystis‐induced synchrony among aquatic taxa is exacerbated by trophic cascades

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Harmful Microcystis proliferation severely threatens aquatic ecosystems globally, but its impacts on food‐web stability remain poorly understood. Here, we analyzed 1309 metagenomic samples from freshwater ecosystems across China to investigate how Microcystis abundance affects synchrony among taxa in multi‐trophic food webs (from bacteriophages to ...

Synergistic mechanisms foster declines in native fish community stability following the introduction of non‐native species

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Non‐native species introductions profoundly alter freshwater communities, yet the mechanisms by which non‐native fishes affect native community stability remain unclear. Using a multi‐decadal dataset on fish community composition and abundance collected across France, we quantified native community stability and decomposed this metric into its main ...
