Advancing transdisciplinary research on Madagascar's grassy biomes to support resilience in ecosystems and livelihoods

open access: yesEcological Monographs, Volume 95, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Grassy biomes (savanna and grasslands) are globally extensive and host a unique biodiversity that is of central importance to human livelihoods. We focus here on the island of Madagascar—a microcosm of the global tropics, covered in 80% grassy biomes—to illustrate how transdisciplinary approaches to research can clarify ecosystem dynamics ...

What's on the menu? Examining native apex‐ and invasive meso‐predator diets to understand impacts on ecosystems

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 2, April–June 2025.
When comparing the diets of native and invasive predator species in semi‐arid Australia, we found that native apex dingoes primarily consume large kangaroos, wallabies and emus, whereas invasive cats and foxes consume smaller prey groups, including 8–9 times the volume of threatened and vulnerable native mammals.

Role of body size and shape in animal camouflage

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2024.
In this review, we analyzed the research on the impact of animal body size and shape on their camouflage and outlined existing research issues and challenges. Overall, we found a negative correlation between body size and the effectiveness of disruptive coloration and background matching as camouflage strategies.

The effect of micro‐level and macro‐level signalling on learning with 360° videos

open access: yesApplied Cognitive Psychology, Volume 38, Issue 2, March/April 2024.
Abstract 360° videos raised the attention of educators, as they can mediate complex environments in educational settings. However, learning irrelevant cognitive strains might be imposed because it is necessary to navigate through spherical material. These downsides could be compensated by using signalling techniques. In a two (macro‐level vs.
