Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
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.

Moth Communities Reveal High Stability Despite Ongoing Compositional Shifts Over Five Years Following Hurricane Disturbance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
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

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2025.
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 ...

Dieta, selectividad y solapamiento trófico entre las tallas del pez blanco Menidia humboldtiana (Atheriniformes: Atherinopsidae) en el embalse Tiacaque, México

open access: yesRevista de Biología Tropical, 2013
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

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 4, July 2025.
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.

Estudio ecológico del cangrejo de río, Hypolobocera sp (Crustacea, decapoda) en la quebrada mano de oso, jardín botánico de Popayán, municipio de Timbío, Cauca – Colombia

open access: yesRevista Colombiana de Ciencia Animal Recia, 2016
La falta de estudios sobre la ecología del cangrejo de río Hypolobocera sp en la región, motivó el desarrollo del presente estudio ecológico durante seis meses (octubre de 2003 a marzo de 2004), sobre una población de cangrejos que habita la quebrada ...

Two lenses for exploring relationships between seabirds and fishers: Unveiling reciprocal contributions

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1025-1040, May 2025.
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

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 1, Page 228-234, February 2025.
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

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 5, Page 722-735, October 2024.
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 ...
