Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Developing together: The elementome and biogeochemical niche of the mutualistic occupants of a fig microcosm

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In brood‐site pollination mutualisms, where flowers provide nutrition and shelter to pollinator offspring in exchange for pollination, resource allocation to inflorescences is directly related to plant and pollinator fitness.

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Abstract Hosting international tourism remains a key development strategy for many Global South countries to generate economic growth, government revenue and employment. However, this conventional wisdom can be contested: tourism may instead be seen as an extractive process that disrupts livelihoods, ecosystems and host economies.
