Abstract Biodiversity is critical for maintaining ecosystem function but is threatened by increasing anthropogenic pressures. In the Southern Ocean, a highly biologically productive region containing many endemic species, proactive management is urgently needed to mitigate increasing pressures from fishing, climate change, and tourism.

The authors explored how insularity influences herbivory in oaks across island–mainland sites. By experimentally excluding vertebrate predators (e.g. birds, bats) and measuring leaf traits (e.g. phenolics, specific leaf area, nutrients), they provide insights into the mechanisms driving island–mainland herbivory patterns.

Diez nuevas subespecies de aves provenientes de islas ecológicas argentinas
In a recent revision of the ornithological collection of the Fundación Miguel Lillo of Tucumán, several unknown subspecies were detected, ten of which are described in this paper. The above mentioned subspecies come from the highlands of NW Argentina. Biogeographic characteristics of the areas where the new birds come from are analyzed.

Latitudinal Variation in the Timing of Nest Predator Activity Is Habitat Specific
ABSTRACT Aim The goal of this work was to investigate whether the community of avian nest predators shifts from nocturnal to diurnal with changes in latitude. This hypothesis was formulated 70 years ago, under the rationale that longer day length during the bird breeding season at high latitudes increases opportunities for visual predators.
