Effects of an Extreme Weather Event on Primate Populations. [PDF]

open access: yesAm J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives With contemporary, human‐induced climate change at a crisis point, extreme weather events (e.g., cyclones, heatwaves, floods) are becoming more frequent, intense, and difficult to predict. These events can wreak rapid and significant changes on ecosystems; thus, it is imperative to understand how wildlife communities respond to ...

Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta‐analysis

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 11, Page 2314-2326, November 2023., 2023
Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques ...

Mice population dynamics and structure over time and space after wildfires

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 321, Issue 2, Page 128-141, October 2023., 2023
Wood and Algerian mice live syntopically within burnt areas, the former species being more abundant. In this study, adult females were recaptured more often over time, while males were found to cover greater distances. We found that recovery strategies of Mediterranean rodents are mainly driven by ex situ immigration from unburnt areas.

Seasonal and intracanopy shifts in the fates of absorbed photons in central Amazonian forests: implications for leaf fluorescence and photosynthesis. [PDF]

open access: yesNew Phytol
Summary Recent studies have shown a linear relationship between solar‐induced Chl fluorescence (SIF) and gross primary productivity (GPP) at large scales. However, this relationship diverges at finer leaf scales, particularly in tropical forests with complex canopy structures.
