Biological invasions disrupt the relationship between size spectrum and trophic interactions in freshwater fish communities

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study shows that non‐native species alter the relationship between the size‐spectrum slope and the predator–prey mass ratio (PPMR) in freshwater fish communities by occupying distinct trophic niches. Abstract The size spectrum, which describes the relationship between abundance (or biomass) and body size, is an ataxic approach that can provide ...

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range‐extending fish through habitat simplification

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Drought and growing season phenology over 35 years modulates species interactions among domestic and wild herbivores

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using a unique 35‐year dataset, this study shows that domestic livestock do not facilitate wild large herbivores as predicted by the grazing optimization hypothesis. Instead, competition caused avoidance of cattle by elk which intensified under drought, and highlights how climate change influences interactions among domestic and wild large herbivores ...

Can Extensive Grassland Management Pay Off for Farmers Facing Drought Risks? A Cumulative Prospect Theory‐Based Approach

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Grasslands in Central Europe are increasingly affected by droughts, leading to lower hay yields and reduced profits for dairy farmers. The insurance hypothesis suggests that extensively managed, species‐rich grassland is more drought resistant than intensively managed grassland.
