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 ...

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

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 ...

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
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
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 ...

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.
