Population trends and variability within bird communities are amplified by intense land use
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.We show that bird populations in farmland have stronger long‐term changes and are more variable around these changes than in woodland. Disentangling these two components of population stability helps understand the effects of anthropogenic pressures on wild communities.

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The authors distil how dimensions of biodiversity drive ecosystem processes with increasing temperature. Specifically, species physiology more greatly affected ecosystem primary production than did foraging behaviour, and physiology mediated non‐additive interactions with temperature.

Egg oiling as an effective management technique for limiting reproduction in an invasive passerine
Avian Conservation and Ecology, 2019 The House Sparrow (Passer domesticus), native to Europe and Asia, has been introduced globally and is now one of the most ubiquitous birds in the world. In North America, these invasive passerines compete with native species for nest cavities, which are ...

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Parasites alter host community structure in a natural experiment
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Parasites can alter host communities in complex ways, but empirical data from natural systems are rare. This study decomposes the effects of an invasive parasite on natural communities of fish in Trinidad, revealing the direct, indirect, and context dependence of the invasion on host demographic rates and community structure.

Invasive goldfish trigger a regime shift in experimental lake ecosystems of varying trophic state
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.The pet trade distributes exotic animals around the globe that enrich human lives. However, some pets become pests when released into the wild. This study provides experimental evidence that goldfish will negatively affect native freshwater organisms and ecosystems.

Journal 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.
