Precipitation‐mediated asymmetric fitness consequences of nectar robbing in distylous Primula florindae

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with deep corollas are frequently associated with nectar robbing, a behaviour that often reduces pollen transfer and seed production.

Niche occupancy of Jamaican bat caves: Diversity increases isotopic niche packing

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Tropical bat caves are home to hundreds of thousands of bats of multiple species. In Jamaica, we found that isotopic niche packing is the likely mechanism of coexistence at more diverse sites. Abstract There are over 1000 documented caves across Jamaica, many of them used by diverse communities of bats.

Cutting freedom down to size Liberté calibrée
