Effect of uneven tolerance to human disturbance on dominance interactions of top predators. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Anthropogenic activities may alter felid assemblage structure, facilitating the persistence of tolerant species (commonly mesopredators), excluding ecologically demanding ones (top predators) and, consequently, changing coexistence rules. We aimed to determine how human activities influence intraguild relationships among top predators and ...

Interplay of diet and sympatry in the morphological evolution of noctilionoid bats

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 50, Issue 12, Page 2084-2094, December 2023., 2023
Abstract Aim The remarkable ecomorphological diversity of the bat superfamily Noctilionoidea is the result of a diet‐mediated adaptive radiation. Stemming from a putatively insectivorous ancestor, noctilionoid bats diversified to adapt to the widest range of dietary ecologies among mammals.

Extinction debt and functional traits mediate community saturation over large spatiotemporal scales

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 11, Page 2228-2239, November 2023., 2023
This study is the first to simultaneously evaluate whether (1) community saturation can require lengthy timespans to be reached and (2) there is a limit to the number of ecological strategies that can coexist. Determining if these ideas are supported is fundamental for better understanding the possible outcomes of species invasions and climate change ...

Low‐coverage whole genome sequencing for highly accurate population assignment: Mapping migratory connectivity in the American Redstart (Setophaga ruticilla)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 20, Page 5528-5540, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Understanding the geographic linkages among populations across the annual cycle is an essential component for understanding the ecology and evolution of migratory species and for facilitating their effective conservation. While genetic markers have been widely applied to describe migratory connections, the rapid development of new sequencing ...

Germination responses to light of four Neotropical forest tree species along an elevational gradient in the southern Central Andes [PDF]

, 2020
Seed germination is a key part of plants' life cycle and is mostly affected by the genetic background, the environmental conditions experienced by the mother plant and the seedbed conditions.
