Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...

Hydrodynamic gradients affect facilitation in soft sediment communities
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study extends ecological theory on facilitation to marine soft‐sediment systems and offers insight into the functional role of habitat‐forming infauna. Abstract Positive species interactions, or facilitation, are fundamental drivers of ecological community assembly and stability.

Parental death destabilizes wolf packs despite the benefits of larger pack size
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Larger wolf packs were associated with improved demographic performance overall, but these general benefits did not buffer the demographic consequences of parental death. Compared with packs in which both parents survived, packs experiencing parental death were substantially more likely to dissolve and fail reproductively and recruited fewer pups ...

Effect of the microbiome on pathogen susceptibility across four Drosophilidae species
Insect Science, EarlyView.Four Drosophilidae species were used to investigate how variation in the host microbiome influences susceptibility to infection. Microbial composition and abundance differed among species and treatments. The effects of microbiome manipulation on host survival were both species‐ and pathogen‐specific.

Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Vegetation cover promotes rodent activity and acorn dispersal, while wild boars exert a direct negative effect on mice. Conversely, deer and predators displayed no significant impact on rodent behavior. These results identify wild boars as the main disruptors of rodent‐mediated forest regeneration.
