Spintharus flavidus in the Caribbean—a 30 million year biogeographical history and radiation of a ‘widespread species’ [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
The Caribbean island biota is characterized by high levels of endemism, the result of an interplay between colonization opportunities on islands and effective oceanic barriers among them.

Arthropod diversity in constructed wetlands is affected strongly by shoreline properties but only weakly by grazing

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 51, Issue 12, Page 2323-2333, December 2024.
Abstract Aim Aquatic‐terrestrial transition zones contain features essential for many species that often benefit wetland biodiversity. Shallow flood‐zone areas and reed beds are indicative of natural wetland habitats; however, how such features affect the native arthropod biodiversity in constructed wetlands is scarcely investigated. We asked how these

Exploring resource patch occupancy: patch size, but not connectivity, explains the abundance of spider kleptoparasites in golden orb webs

Journal of Zoology, Volume 324, Issue 3, Page 244-252, November 2024.
The ideal free distribution (IFD) model is a core ecological theory that predicts animal distribution, but is challenging to test in nature. Here, we utilize as habitat patches the orb webs of golden orb weaver spider species and the obligate spider kleptoparasites that are associated with their webs. We examine how the IFD model predicts the abundance

Black‐throated blue warblers (Setophaga caerulescens) exhibit diet flexibility and track seasonal changes in insect availability

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Changes in seasonality have extended the breeding window for migratory birds in North America with earlier springs and later autumns that affect insect availability. DNA metabarcoding and insect surveys revealed that migratory, insectivorous black‐throated blue warblers exhibit diet flexibility in response to seasonal pulses in arthropod prey ...
