Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Fine‐scale spatial variation in eastern grey squirrel melanism across a complex urban landscape

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By sampling 197 parks, the study demonstrates how natural geography creates divergence within cities. The findings reveal that the St. Lawrence River and its tributaries act as barriers, disrupting urban melanism clines in grey squirrels. Ultimately, the research indicates that natural features still dictate evolutionary rules in anthropogenic ...

Temperate forest heterogeneity decreases local and landscape‐scale spider diversity through habitat filtering despite increasing species turnover

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
In a large‐scale German forest experiment, habitat heterogeneity increased spider turnover but reduced local alpha diversity through habitat filtering. Together, these effects lowered landscape‐scale spider diversity. As such, the study shows whether environmental heterogeneity increases or decreases biodiversity depends on the balance between habitat ...

Boldness and niche width structure spatial interactions in a natural rodent community

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that individual behavioural differences (boldness) structure spatial encounter patterns within a natural multi‐species community. By linking personality to space use and interaction structure, our study demonstrates how intraspecific variation can scale up to shape community‐level processes.

Beyond thermoregulation: Active behavioural regulation of ultraviolet light exposure by a free‐ranging lizard

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study provides a clear demonstration of active ultraviolet (UV) regulation in free‐ranging lizards and supports that microhabitat choice likely constrains UV regulation more than thermoregulation. Overall, it serves to establish UV as a parallel regulatory axis of physiological homeostasis and expand the range of testable hypotheses in animal ...
