Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

We examined the temporal dynamics and ecological stability of tropical forest moth communities using a unique dataset spanning 6 months before and up to 5 years after two extreme hurricanes. While abundance and richness recovered within 2 years, species composition continued to shift, indicating ongoing reassembly with a directional trajectory toward ...

Shearing Tooth Morphology May Allow Sharks to Access Higher Trophic Levels at Smaller Sizes
Predator morphology imposes limitations on prey selection due to biomechanical constraints, making some prey functionally inaccessible and thereby constraining predator trophic niches. We assessed how two key components of trophic morphology—tooth shape and body size—affect prey selectivity and trophic niche in two sympatric sharks with contrasting ...

Menidia humboldtiana es una especie nativa muy apreciada por su delicado sabor. Se determinó el espectro trófico, selectividad y solapamiento trófico de ésta, durante 1995 (épocas del año), se obtuvieron muestras de zooplancton e identificaron a nivel ...

Exploration Behavior Is Consistent and Associated With Foraging Behavior in Island Songbirds
We tested the neophobia threshold hypothesis in six landbird species, including four Darwin's finches. Exploration behavior was consistent over time and contexts, with species exhibiting greater foraging diversity showing higher exploratory tendencies.

Abstract Reciprocal relationships between fishers and marine life have been documented in Indigenous fishing contexts, but there are few case studies that describe the mechanisms of such relationships, and even fewer that explore other contexts, such as that of artisanal fishers in Latin American countries.

Butterfly species vary in sex‐specific sodium accumulation from larval diets
Male butterflies accumulate more sodium than females in three butterfly species, especially when larvae were exposed to high dietary sodium concentrations. Sodium bioaccumulation occurred mainly in Low Na treatments and bioexcretion was highest in females on High Na diets.

Salamander loss alters montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure through top‐down effects
Salamanders are seriously declining worldwide and, despite being important predators in both aquatic and terrestrial environments, their effects on freshwater ecosystems are virtually unknown. We demonstrated that salamander loss could alter montane stream ecosystem functioning and structure by reducing periphyton accrual, altering algal communities ...
