Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

Seasonally variable thermal performance curves prevent adverse effects of heatwaves

Journal 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.

Effects of competition and predation risk from a life history intraguild predator on individual specialisation

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Individual niche specialisation is widespread within animal populations and can have important ecological consequences. Predation and competition are known drivers of individual specialisation, but their combined effects are unstudied. This mesocosm experiment shows that competition and predation from a single antagonist can have variable effects on ...

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

Journal 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

Integrative 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 ...
