Seasonally variable thermal performance curves prevent adverse effects of heatwaves

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study showed that seasonal variation in thermal performance (or the lack thereof) can influence how vulnerable populations are to heatwaves. Abstract 1. Differential vulnerability to heatwaves may affect community dynamics in a changing climate.

Intraspecific body size determines isotopic trophic structure of a large river fish community

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The body size of individuals within species plays an important role in determining trophic structure, yet many ecological models and tests of theory assign species‐level values to define trophic position or niches. Such studies ignore potential ontogenetic or within species size‐based changes in consumer behaviour and trophic dynamics that can occur as

Generalist predators function as pest specialists: Examining diet composition of spiders and ladybeetles across rice crop stages

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
By quantifying the diet composition of GAPs over crop stages, farm types and years, this study reveals that generalist predators have potential to produce a stable, predictable top‐down effect on pests in rice agro‐ecosystems. Therefore, promoting the field densities of ubiquitous generalist predators will likely enhance pest management and support ...

Comparative Population Genetics of Two Alvinocaridid Shrimp Species in Chemosynthetic Ecosystems of the Western Pacific

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Little is known about the population divergence and gene flow of deep‐sea animals living in disjunct hydrothermal vents and cold seep habitats. Taking advantage of samples collected from multiple cruises across a huge distance of >5000 km, we revealed the differential population divergence pattern and gene flow in two congeneric species of shrimps ...
