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 ...

Forest cover enhances pest control by birds and bats independently of vineyard management intensity

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results highlight the importance of bats and birds in reducing herbivory and increasing economic benefits in vineyards. Their presence and foraging activity can be promoted by connected landscapes incorporating hedgerows and small groups of trees as well as native, deciduous forest patches that can potentially increase the amount of food sources ...
