How Management Practices Shape the “Local Habitat Signature” That Modulates Bird Communities in Urban Green Spaces

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 1, January 2026.
Local scale factors, not just the broad urban gradient, are the key drivers of urban bird communities. Our multi‐scale study found that specific management practices, such as managing leaf litter depth or the presence of unmanaged tall grass, explained the largest portion of variation in bird composition.

Habitat Conditions and Neighborhood Interactions Drive the Phylogenetic Structure of Seedling Assemblages in a Tropical Forest Mosaic

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
In poor, well‐drained sandy soils, we observed the coexistence of more closely related species, suggesting that shared evolutionary history influences which seedlings survive under these restrictive conditions. Contrary to expectations, flooded areas harbored more distantly related species, likely because pathogens and other natural enemies limit the ...

Estimating abundance of aggregated populations with drones while accounting for multiple sources of errors: A case study on the mass nesting of Giant South American River Turtles

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 2036-2047, August 2025.
The developed approach can be applied to several contexts to efficiently survey spatially aggregated populations using drone‐derived orthomosaics, and to understand phenology at these aggregation sites. We provide general recommendations for planning surveys and discuss implementations of our approach using other types of marking methods and model ...

The interplay between virus infection and water‐related stress is mediated by the plant metabolism of ascorbic acid

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 265-280, July 2025.
Summary Plants are often subjected to environmental variations in the context of infection such that virus‐induced and abiotic stresses co‐occur. One such environmental variation is water stress, which strongly impacts plant fitness. Although there is ample evidence of the beneficial effects of plant viruses under drought, the consequences of infection

Counting animals in orthomosaics from aerial imagery: Challenges and future directions

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1051-1060, June 2025.
Abstract The use of drones to survey and monitor wildlife populations has increased exponentially. A common protocol used for data collection is planning flights with substantial overlap between successive photographs and lateral lines and then creating orthomosaics by merging the collected images.

Linking leaf traits and litter flammability using a novel framework, tested with Brazilian Cerrado trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 1247-1261, May 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In tree‐dominated ecosystems, the behaviour of surface fires is largely controlled by the structure of fine fuels. Because leaves make up most of the fine fuels, the traits of those leaves—their size, shape and leaf area for a given mass—help determine the impacts of ...

Thinking with Amazonian Indigenous Peoples to expand ideas on domestication

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 560-574, March 2025.
Abstract Indigenous knowledges are being increasingly recognized as fundamental for environmental governance, ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. However, they tend to be recognized by Western science only when they converge with Western scientific knowledge, while ontological differences are generally treated as irrelevant or ...
