Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 606-618, March 2023., 2023 This article accounts for species absences before occupancy analyses, addressing a long‐standing concern of whether absence is true or due to low sampling effort. The authors affiliate long‐term bird species trends with functional traits in a lowland tropical rainforest landscape in southeast Mexico to help guide land management and conservation ...

Hummingbird diversity in a fragmented tropical landscape in the Chocó biogeographic zone
Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 418-429, March 2023., 2023 We investigated habitat‐ and site‐level patterns of diversity, and community composition of hummingbirds between continuous forest (transects n = 16 in ~3500 ha) and more disturbed surrounding fragments (n = 39, 2.5–48.0 ha) in the Chocó rainforest of northwestern Ecuador. We found higher hummingbird species richness in forest fragments relative to the

Lizard thermoregulation revisited after two decades of global warming
Functional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 12, Page 3022-3035, December 2022., 2022 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although the effects of global warming on thermoregulation are usually explored using predictions of climate envelop modelling, such effects should best be analysed empirically, studying the same population with the same methods after a long enough period of temperature

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 7, Page 1897-1910, July 2022., 2022 In agreement with the LMFTS hypothesis, our results confirm that landscape modifications in regions undergoing high and long‐lasting deforestation greatly impoverish the functional composition and diversity of sapling communities. The shift from communities composed mainly by conservative attributes towards communities with a higher prevalence of ...

Directional changes over time in the species composition of tropical vascular epiphyte assemblages
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 553-568, March 2022., 2022 Directionality in the temporal changes of epiphyte assemblages suggests that niche‐based mechanisms dominate these temporal changes. Host size over host identity is the most important environmental filter for epiphyte assemblages establishment. Tree Vectors Pack by Pixeden.com (https://www.freevector.com/trees‐illustrations). Abstract Understanding the

Life on a leaf: The development of spatial structure in epiphyll communities
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 619-630, March 2022., 2022 Using epiphyll spatial patterns to detect changes in ecological drivers that shape life on a leaf, this study shows how these miniature ecological communities living on rainforest leaves can be used as a model system for community dynamics. Abstract The spatial structure of biotic communities can be shaped by niche‐based or stochastic processes, and ...

Arboreal monkeys facilitate foraging of terrestrial frugivores
Biotropica, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1685-1697, November 2021., 2021 We investigated eavesdropping and interspecific interactions in Neotropical mammals in a feeding context using playback experiments, monitoring of fruiting trees with camera traps combined with GPS data and randomised movement tracks. We found that interspecific attractions at food resources were not random and that some species were more likely to ...

Boletín Científico Centro de Museos Museo de Historia Natural, 2019 Con el fin de profundizar en el conocimiento de la herbivoría de la hormiga arriera (Atta cephalotes) en el bosque seco tropical, se estudió la actividad forrajera de 12 nidos situados en dos parches de bosque seco: seis en el Parque Natural Regional El Vínculo en el departamento del Valle del Cauca y seis en La Pachuca en el departamento del Cauca.

COMPOSICIÓN Y ESTRUCTURA AVIAR EN DOS PARCHES DE BOSQUE SECO EN EL VALLE DEL CAUCA
Boletín Científico. Centro de Museos. Museo de Historia Natural, 2015 The dry forest is one of the most degraded, fragmented and less known ecosystems, it is being transformed to implement cities, livestock and crops, leaving only small forest patches which are considered important reservoirs of biodiversity. Given the absence of birdlife information on patches of dry forest still present in the Valle del Cauca and their
