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 ...

Feeding en route: Prey availability and traits influence prey selection by an avian predator on migration

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 93, Issue 9, Page 1176-1191, September 2024.
During fall migration, avivorous raptors and avian prey co‐occur across space and time. We used a novel approach—combining eDNA metabarcoding and eBird data—to investigate predator–prey interactions between an avivorous raptor and co‐occurring avian prey species. This approach revealed prey availability and traits influence raptor‐songbird interactions

A new tool to improve the estimates of interaction rewiring considering the whole community composition

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 8, Page 1438-1449, August 2024.
Abstract Understanding temporal dynamics in ecological networks is crucial to predict their capability to cope with global changes. Despite this, proper quantification of network dynamics still remains a challenge. Temporal dynamics are typically studied using data of interaction networks over time, through the evaluation of interaction turnover and ...

Apex predators can structure ecosystems through trophic cascades: Linking the frugivorous behaviour and seed dispersal patterns of mesocarnivores

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 1407-1419, June 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Current global change scenarios demand knowledge on how anthropogenic impacts affect ecosystem functioning through changes in food web structure. Frugivorous mesocarnivores are a key link in trophic cascades because, while their abundance and behaviour are usually ...

Effects of protection and temperature variation on temporal stability in a marine reserve network

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 38, Issue 3, June 2024.
Abstract Understanding the drivers of ecosystem stability has been a key focus of modern ecology as the impacts of the Anthropocene become more prevalent and extreme. Marine protected areas (MPAs) are tools used globally to promote biodiversity and mediate anthropogenic impacts.

Plant phylogenetic diversity influences arthropod communities in tropical forest restoration plots

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 56, Issue 3, May 2024.
We assessed the impact of plant phylogenetic diversity on arthropod communities in 12 experimental restoration plots with either high or low plant phylogenetic diversity. Arthropods with different feeding habits (herbivores, predators, pollinators, and detritivores) were collected after 1 and 3 years and were identified as morphospecies or operational ...

Lipid biomarkers reveal trophic relationships and energetic trade‐offs in contrasting phenotypes of the cold‐water coral Desmophyllum dianthus in Comau Fjord, Chile

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 126-142, January 2024.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Benthic suspension feeders like corals and sponges are important bioengineers in many marine habitats, from the shallow tropics to the depth of polar oceans. While they are generally considered opportunistic, little is known about their actual in situ diet.
