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.

Random Effects and Overdispersion

Today in my stats class, my students saw me realize, in real-time, that you <em> can </em> include random intercepts in poisson models that you couldn't in ordinary gaussian models, <em> and </em> this might be a nicer way to deal with overdispersion than moving to a negative binomial model.

Flexible parental care in a songbird correlates with sex‐specific responses to seasonal phenology, mating opportunity and reproductive success

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This population‐comparative study reveals that male and female parents respond differently to social and ecological conditions. This sex‐specific responsive strategy is related to the incongruent parental care systems across populations in Chinese penduline tits.

Multiple routes to territory inheritance in Florida Scrub‐Jays (Aphelocoma coerulescens)

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The prevalence of natal territory inheritance among females as well as males highlights that, among territorial cooperative breeders, significant benefits of philopatry can apply to both sexes. Abstract In many animals, being the dominant owner of a territory is a pre‐requisite for reproductive success. Acquisition of territory by inheritance, where at

APPLICATION OF HURDLE NEGATIVE BINOMIAL COUNT DATA MODEL TO DEMAND FOR BLACK BASS FISHING IN THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES.

This paper identifies factors that influence the demand for a black bass fishing trip taken in the Southeastern U.S. using a double hurdle negative binomial count data model. The probability of fishing for a black bass is estimated in the first stage and

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

Journal 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 ...
