Oikos, EarlyView.Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

I've been robbed! - Can changes in floral traits discourage bee pollination?
PLoS ONE, 2019 Some floral visitors collect nectar by piercing flower external whorls, acting as nectar robbers. They leave robbery vestiges, which can cause changes in floral characteristics, including physical and chemical signals that may influence flower ...

Spontaneous bleeding in chronic kidney disease: global coagulation assays may predict bleeding risk
Research and Practice in Thrombosis and HaemostasisBackground: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased bleeding and thrombotic risks. Standard blood tests do not sufficiently quantify these risks.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints
Oikos, EarlyView.Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

The limitations of the methods of identifying the floral source of honeys [PDF]
, 1998 The pollen grains in honey reveal the types of plants that were around when the bees produced the honey, thus it is valid to use melissopalynology to determine the geographical origin of honeys, but there are several reasons why it is less valid for ...
