The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Fish habitat preferences in Ria Formosa lagoon
, 2020 Lagoas costeiras são habitats muito importantes para várias espécies de peixe, pois elas atuam como ambiente de desenvolvimento de juvenis de peixes de diversas espécies, incluindo muitas com valor comercial. Por isso, a preservação das lagoas costeiras é importante para a manutenção da diversidade de comunidades de peixes.

Ecography, EarlyView.The rapid adoption of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods has drastically changed biodiversity monitoring efforts. It is often claimed that eDNA methods are more sensitive and efficient than conventional biodiversity monitoring methods, but it is often unclear what metrics support this claim.

Lagged responses in the composition of small mammal communities to a century of climate change
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change has widespread effects on the distribution, abundance and behavior of species around the world, leading to the reshuffling of ecological communities. However, it remains unclear whether individual species' range shifts scale up to result in communities whose rate of change lag, lead, or track the rate of climate change. We capitalized on

Plant diversity estimates of Mediterranean islands differ among biodiversity databases
Ecography, EarlyView.Large‐scale biodiversity databases encompass three main types of data for plants, namely single species point occurrences, co‐occurrences in vegetation plots, and checklists for specific areas. Evidence shows that such data types exhibit specific biases, reporting different species assemblages at local scales.

Ecography, EarlyView.The spatial ecology of stalk‐and‐ambush predators like the Eurasian lynx Lynx lynx depends on prey availability and environmental features, yet the relative roles of these factors remain unclear at large spatial scales. In this study, we analysed lynx habitat use across central and southern Finland using snow‐track data from the Wildlife Triangle ...

Warming summers limit reindeer grazing, weakening herbivory pressure in the mountain tundra
Ecography, EarlyView.Climate change is predicted to alter species interactions by exposing ecosystems to increasingly frequent and intense warm spells. In the mountain tundra, grazing by large herbivores, particularly reindeer, can limit shrub expansion and preserve Arctic plant diversity.
