Oikos, EarlyView.Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Scientia Marina, 2014 Local patterns of fish density, microhabitat use, feeding behaviour, bite rate, territory area and agonistic interactions were recorded for Ophioblennius trinitatis at an oceanic archipelago (southwestern Atlantic).

Modeling the dynamics of microhabitats
, 2016 The Integrate+ Conference took place in the Steigerwald Centre near Ebrach, Bavaria from 26 – 28 October 2016 and gathered nearly 80 participants with various professional backgrounds. Those included silviculture trainers, forest ecologists, conservation biologists, forest scientists and representatives from forest administrations and forest managers ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

The Microhabitat Quadrat Sampler—A 0.25-m2Quadrat Sampler for Microhabitat of Crayfishes
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2010 ABSTRACT A 0.25-m2 quadrat sampler was constructed to collect microhabitat data for the Nashville crayfish (Orconectes shoupi) in the Mill Creek watershed, Nashville, Tennessee. Studies of other crayfish species have used a 1.00-m2 quadrat sampler; however, due to the requirement of precise measurement for microhabitat variables, we needed to enclose a

Oikos, EarlyView.The export of emergent aquatic insects is a critical energy subsidy for terrestrial food webs. While urbanization is known to alter stream communities, its effects on the size structure of these insect subsidies and the subsequent consequences for riparian predators remain poorly understood.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species
Oikos, EarlyView.There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.

Frontiers in Amphibian and Reptile ScienceIntroductionEnvironmental changes can significantly affect the performance of ectotherms, as nearly all aspects of their life history are intricately linked to temperature conditions in their habitats.
