Abstract Introduction Grassland species are declining globally. Sprague's Pipit (Anthus spragueii), a native grassland‐obligate, nests in planted grasslands in some regions. How food resources in planted grassland compare with those in native grassland is important to determine the relative benefits of creating new grassland by seeding cropland with ...

We measured the plasticity in sexual bimaturism (SBM; differences between sexes in the timing of sexual maturity) in the black soldier fly (BSF) by exposing larvae to nutrient availability and humidity stress. Our results show that SBM can range between protandry and protogyny depending on the environmental quality. Additionally, we found the degree of

Metacommunity patterns in larval odonates
The growth of metacommunity ecology as a subdiscipline has increased interest in how processes at different spatial scales structure communities. However, there is still a significant knowledge gap with respect to relating the action of niche- and dispersal-assembly mechanisms to observed species distributions across gradients.

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Fish Introductions Reshape Antipredator Sensitivity in Rana temporaria Tadpoles Across Alpine Lakes
Introduced fish can alter predator–prey interactions in alpine lakes. We show that Rana temporaria tadpoles exposed to fish‐associated environments exhibit increased sensitivity to predation risk. These findings highlight how biological invasions reshape antipredator behavior across ecological contexts.
