Ecological significance of fruit displays in Myrtaceae: relationship between fruit colour, maturation stage, attractiveness and seed germination

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Urban‐driven homogenization of aquatic subsidy size structure cascades to riparian predator communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Multi‐year partner fidelity is associated with higher annual reproductive output in a biparental subtropical shorebird

Oikos, EarlyView.
Partner fidelity is a key component of reproductive strategies in socially monogamous species, yet its adaptive value remains context dependent and poorly understood outside environments with short breeding seasons. In most bird species, partners may remain together or re‐pair between successive nesting attempts, but it remains unclear which components

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

Oikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

When wolves aren't enough: revisiting trophic cascades in northern Wisconsin

Oikos, EarlyView.
Elimination of top predators has allowed large herbivores to flourish in many terrestrial ecosystems, transforming food webs and ecosystem functions. Restoration of large predator communities is hoped to reverse negative effects of this trophic downgrading, but evidence for such effects is elusive.
