Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs

Oikos, EarlyView.
Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Trait‐mediated thermal responses and multi‐axis spatiotemporal niche partitioning between coexisting top predators in ponds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how physiological constraints scale up to realized niche differences remains a central challenge in functional ecology. Temperature strongly influences metabolic performance, activity, and habitat selection in ectotherms, yet few field studies quantify how thermal responses interact with diel and habitat structure to shape predator ...

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

Oikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Unshared on the top: strong segregation of pathogen communities between western honey bees and wild bees in a retreating glacier foreland

Oikos, EarlyView.
Shared flowers can facilitate pathogen transmission between managed honey bees and wild bees, yet this process remains poorly understood in ecosystems undergoing rapid environmental change. Using a glacier foreland in Switzerland, we present the first study on how glacier retreat stages and bee life‐history traits influence pathogen occurrence across ...
