Hummingbird interaction niche packing is influenced by species richness and resource availability in the southern tropical Andes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

From pollen provision to pollinator: Species‐specific sterol assimilation by wild bees in urban landscapes

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Human‐driven landscape change, particularly urbanization, is reshaping pollinator communities, yet the functional traits that mediate species persistence remain poorly understood. Dietary specialization is commonly used to predict species vulnerability.

Abiotic variables drive different aspects of fish community trait variation and species richness across the continental United States

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

Yellow fever outbreak temporarily changes dispersal patterns in an endangered primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Golden lion tamarins had their annual adult survival strongly impacted by a yellow fever outbreak in 2017–2018. At the same time, they temporarily changed their dispersal patterns. Despite a 30% decline, the population has come back to levels higher than pre‐outbreak ones. Abstract Disease outbreaks can severely affect populations in the wild. However,

Repeated trends in altitudinal gradients of diversity: How habitat filtering and biotic interactions structure ecological communities

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals that tropical butterfly communities show remarkably consistent elevational patterns of diversity and phylogenetic structure across regions with contrasting evolutionary histories, demonstrating how regional species pools and local ecological factors jointly shape biodiversity along altitudinal gradients.

Hormone Replacement Therapy Uptake and Discontinuation Trends From 1996‐2023: An Observational Study of the Welsh Population

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To analyse prescribing trends for oral and transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in Wales from 1996 to 2023, including predictors of discontinuation within one year of initiation. Design Observational study using the Secure Anonymised Information Linkage (SAIL) databank.
