Vulture Exclusion Halves Large Carcass Decomposition Rates and Doubles Fly Abundance. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe experimentally excluded vultures from pig carcasses (Sus scrofa) in Costa Rica, under different habitats and across seasons with the aim to assess the impact of vulture population decline on carrion decomposition and insect abundance. Vulture exclusion halved carcass decomposition rates and doubled fly abundance, while dung beetle abundance remained

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 ...

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 ...
