Dietary adaptations in the teeth of murine rodents (Muridae): a test of biomechanical predictions

open access: yes, 2016
Functional dental theory predicts that tooth shape responds evolutionarily to the mechanical properties of food. Most studies of mammalian teeth have focused on qualitative measures of dental anatomy and have not formally tested how the functional ...

Abundant top predators increase species interaction network complexity in northeastern Chinese forests

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 4, Page 745-759, April 2025.
Our study reveals how top predators influence mammalian interaction networks by increasing complexity and redistributing interactions through indirect effects. These findings imply the important role of top predators in structuring communities, offering novel insights into the conservation and management of mammal communities in northeastern China ...

Giant Gardeners of the Forest: How African Forest Elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) Shape Mammal Biodiversity in the Republic of Congo

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, April 2025.
ABSTRACT The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis), a critically endangered species, is a megaherbivore that browses and transforms large quantities and varieties of vegetation during its foraging activities and movements. However, the cascading effects of this ‘ecosystem engineer’ on animal biodiversity are poorly known. In this study, based on
