Reduced size of larvae and small fish linked to warming and reduced prey density

Ecography, EarlyView.
Body size is an integrative trait that has declined across many ecological assemblages in the last decades. Changes in body size of early life stages and small‐bodied fish are driven by complex interactions between size‐dependent mortality, and temperature‐ and food‐dependent growth, and can have consequences for recruitment to the adult stock and food

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...

Disentangling functional spaces: a multidimensional framework for ecology and conservation

Ecography, EarlyView.
Trait‐based ecology often relies on a single functional space, where diverse traits are combined into one multivariate framework. While convenient, this approach risks masking ecological strategies because variance is often dominated by a few traits, such as body size.

Species traits mediate terrestrial mammal density responses to human impacts

Ecography, EarlyView.
Human activities are reshaping ecosystems, but their effects on species population density remain poorly understood. Most studies focus on species presence–absence, thus limiting insight into how anthropogenic pressures affect population density. Emerging evidence suggests that responses of natural populations to human disturbance are highly variable ...

Parasitoid insects unveil complex patterns of functional change across elevational bands

Ecography, EarlyView.
Climate change is rapidly reshaping how insects interact with their environment, potentially disrupting ecosystem complexity and essential functioning. While functional homogenisation has been extensively investigated for charismatic insect taxa, particularly pollinators, the response of parasitoids remains largely overlooked.
