Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Trematode infection buffers heat stress in blue mussels Mytilus edulis: The role of heat shock proteins

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study shows that parasite infection changes heat shock protein expression and can increase heat tolerance in blue mussels. By separating parasite and temperature effects, the results suggest that infection may improve survival during heat stress, highlighting important parasite–host interactions for climate change resilience. Abstract The influence

Environmentally induced stress affects fitness of bold and shy alike: A long‐term study of personality and feather corticosterone in Arctic‐breeding kittiwakes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Quantifying how individuals differ as their environment changes around them is crucial to predict population responses to climate change. By incorporating personality, physiology and life‐history the authors show that while environmental change is likely to impact the whole population equally, when individuals are most impacted will vary across the ...

Functional response predicts invasiveness but not trophic impact

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This comparative analysis challenges the current paradigm that pre‐invasion functional response magnitude serves as a reliable predictor of post‐invasion ecological impact and highlights the need to distinguish between pre‐adaptation in native ranges and realized performance in invaded ecosystems.

Effects of temperature and browning on the functional response of a freshwater top predator

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study explores for the first time how temperature and browning affect the functional response of a freshwater piscivore, the northern pike. The authors find surprisingly weak effects of browning, challenging visual foraging theory. Pike displayed a rare dome‐shaped functional response in cold clear water, potentially driven by seasonal changes in ...
