Biodiversity effects on ecosystem functioning are driven by resource quality and contamination
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biodiversity–ecosystem functioning relationships are increasingly explained by species' traits and resource quality differences rather than richness alone, yet cross‐trophic effects and environmental context remain poorly resolved.

Fungal Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections proliferate during amphibian terrestrial dormancy
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The spread and impact of wildlife pathogens is often seasonal, and identifying the season(s) of highest impact can be critical to biodiversity and public health management.

Belowground effects of ground‐dwelling large herbivores in forest ecosystems
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study reviews how ground‐dwelling large herbivores affect forest soil and litter globally. Effects are context‐dependent, vary among species and forest types, and remain poorly studied in tropical forests, highlighting critical gaps in understanding nutrient cycling and ecosystem functioning.

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.
