Individual niche specialisation is widespread within animal populations and can have important ecological consequences. Predation and competition are known drivers of individual specialisation, but their combined effects are unstudied. This mesocosm experiment shows that competition and predation from a single antagonist can have variable effects on ...

When organisms use similar resources but at a different time, it is not obvious whether they can divide their temporal niches in a coexistence promoting manner or of something else should happen. This study shows that priority effects are a likely, but not self‐evident, outcome.

Asian elephants are associated with a more robust mammalian community in tropical forests
It's the first evidence that Asian elephants are positively associated with robustness of mammalian networks, increases ungulate/primate abundances and minimally disrupts activity patterns. Highlights elephants' overlooked role as keystone architects beyond vegetation engineering, urging conservation prioritization to safeguard ecosystem resilience ...

This study constructed a real spider–prey interaction network using metabarcoding, integrating multitrophic levels (Plant–Prey–Spider) and multiple diversity indices (taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity) to analyse how bottom‐up effects from tree communities and top‐down effects from spider communities influence spider–prey interactions in
