Prey detection by the predator remains constant across prey densities: evidence from a field experiment in the Arctic tundra

Oikos, EarlyView.
The functional response describes how predator acquisition rates change with prey availability and integrates behavioural processes that occur during predator–prey encounters. Among these processes, prey detection represents a critical yet often overlooked component that can directly influence population dynamics. Variation in detection probability has

The interacting effects of precipitation and microhabitat on non‐native seed predation are contingent on temporal dynamics

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

Area‐restricted search under realistic constraints

Oikos, EarlyView.
Abstract Area‐restricted search (ARS) is one of the most influential and widely used concepts in foraging theory, capturing a simple rule by which animals intensify local search following a resource encounter. Because ARS performs well in many spatially structured environments, it serves as a basic model for interpreting movement patterns across taxa ...

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Predation by aquatic insects: species traits and habitat structure mediate predator-prey interactions

, 2010
In my thesis, I present results of experimental research on selective predation by aquatic insects, specifically on the role of predator and prey body size, microhabitat distribution, and selected behavioural traits on the strength of predator-prey ...

Rock, paper, pigeon: Exploring speculative ecologies through more‐than‐human play

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract As interactive technologies and playful storytelling increasingly explore posthuman and more‐than‐human perspectives, opportunities emerge to reframe natureculture heritage—as it recognizes that human lives, technologies and societies are always connected with the lives and environments of other species and ecosystems—as intrinsically ...
