The role of cell size in shaping responses to oxygen and temperature in fruit flies
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 1269-1279, May 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The body size of an animal is strongly coupled to key ecological traits such as fecundity, mortality and growth. Ectothermic animals mature at smaller body sizes in warmer conditions and under low oxygen availability (hypoxia).

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 3, Page 650-664, May 2023., 2023 Our findings suggest a continuous shift in the frugivore community composition along the vertical gradient of a plant species fruiting across forest strata, from a few generalized frugivores in the understorey to a diverse set of specialized frugivores in the canopy.

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Variation in red fox Vulpes vulpes diet in five continents
Mammal Review, Volume 52, Issue 3, Page 328-342, July 2022., 2022 We reviewed the diet of the red fox as described in 217 studies including 13 food categories. Globally, red fox diet was dominated by small mammals and invertebrates. The proportion of each of the prey categories in red fox diet varied with environmental and anthropogenic variables and sampling method.

Evolution of fruit and seed traits during almond naturalization
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 3, Page 686-699, March 2022., 2022 Almond naturalization is consistent with strong directional selection on fruits and seeds, leading to smaller and more toxic seeds encased in harder endocarps. Accordingly, we propose that feralization of this crop is, at least to some degree, driven by adaptive evolution of dispersal and recruitment traits.
