Hummingbird interaction niche packing is influenced by species richness and resource availability in the southern tropical Andes

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 7, Page 2275-2285, July 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

Ecological Plasticity Explains the Distribution of Sympatric and Allopatric Mouse Lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in Northeastern Madagascar

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Species distributions are shaped by complex biotic and abiotic interactions, which are often not fully understood. We investigated the ecological basis of co‐occurrence and distribution of four partially sympatric and allopatric cryptic mouse lemur species (Microcebus spp.) in the Ambatosoa and Analanjirofo region of northeastern Madagascar ...

Increased Unripe‐to‐Ripe Fruit Ratios Within Bicolored Displays Enhance Interactions With Avian Frugivores

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 4, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants dispersed by visually oriented frugivores may enhance fruit detection through bicolored displays. Using manipulative experiments, I show that higher proportions of unripe fruits, rather than bicolored display alone, increase frugivory.
