Reintroduced megaherbivores and prescribed fire shape seed removal in restored tallgrass prairie
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.We examined how common grassland management practices (prescribed fire, megaherbivore reintroduction) shape seed‐granivore interactions. Rodents played a key role in seed removal, removing more seeds in unburned plantings without bison. Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) were especially associated with increased removal of invasive seeds, suggesting ...

Geographic distribution of mammal diets [PDF]
Web EcologyThe study of trophic interactions might be key to understanding the distribution of species on Earth. Particularly, the biogeography of heterotrophic species – such as mammals – could be strongly driven by trophic interactions (diet).

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Tracking Vegetation Response to Planned Burning in a Heathy Woodland
Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Wildfires are predicted to become more frequent and intense with climate change. In conjunction, the use of fuel reduction burning is increasing to manage and mitigate wildfire risk. For vegetation communities with strong fire‐cued recruitment and regeneration responses, changes to historical fire regimes are anticipated to alter patterns of ...

Fire And Dynamics Of Granivory On A California Grasslands Forb
, 2003 This study examines the effects of burning and granivory on the reproductive success of the rare plant Amsinckia grandiflora (Boraginaceae). Fire is often used in California grasslands as a means of exotic species control, but the indirect effects of ...

Spatial and Seasonal Variation in Avian Dietary Strategies
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Diet is a fundamental aspect of vertebrate life history, shaping survival, recruitment, and fitness. While spatial variation in avian dietary characteristics has been studied, seasonal dynamics at species and assemblage levels remain largely unexplored, hindering our understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes.

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Spatial and temporal patterns of carabid activity-density in cereals do not explain levels of predation on weed seeds [PDF]
, 2008 Seed predation is an important component of seed mortality of weeds in agro-ecosystems, but the agronomic use and management of this natural weed suppression is hampered by a lack of insight in the underlying ecological processes.
