Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Dietary partitioning mediates species coexistence in the high seas area of northwest Pacific

Ecography, EarlyView.
Niche partitioning, manifesting along various axes of the ecological niche, is a fundamental mechanism mediating species coexistence in a system. However, the emergence of many species in marine ecosystems would face considerable constraints in achieving coexistence through spatiotemporal differentiation mechanisms under the framework of niche ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Productive foraging grounds enhance maternal condition and offspring quality in a capital breeding species

Ecology and Evolution
Feeding ecology is an essential component of an organism's life, but foraging comes with risks and energetic costs. Species in which populations exhibit more than one feeding strategy, such as sea turtles, are good systems for investigating how feeding ...
