Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Elucidating stygofaunal trophic web interactions via isotopic ecology.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Subterranean ecosystems host highly adapted aquatic invertebrate biota which play a key role in sustaining groundwater ecological functioning and hydrological dynamics. However, functional biodiversity studies in groundwater environments, the main source

Modelling encounter rates and distribution of mobile predators and prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Marine ecosystem models often contain modules for two phytoplankton compartments (flagellates and diatoms) and two zooplankton groups (micro- and mesozooplankton).

Towards a Biodiversity Positive Business Strategy: The MCRV (Monitoring, Conserving, Restoring, Valorizing) Framework

open access: yesCorporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...

An ecosystem model of San Pedro Bay, Leyte, Philippines: initial parameter estimates [PDF]

open access: yes
A mass-balance model of the trophic structure of San Pedro Bay, Leyte Province, Philippines was constructed using the Ecopath modeling software. The model is composed of 16 ecological groups (13 consumer, 2 producers, 1 detritus groups).

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Responses of Antarctic seabird populations to past climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Higher‐order predators such as Antarctic seabirds serve as ecological indicators of environmental change and provide a crucial trophic link between marine and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite their prevalence and significance in the Antarctic ecosystem, there is a lack of understanding of the impacts of major regime shifts in paleoclimate on flighted ...

Human pressure, habitat heterogeneity and species traits jointly determine the level of dark diversity in coastal fish communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Understanding how anthropogenic pressures and environmental gradients shape coastal fish communities is a central question in biogeography and marine conservation. Yet, the set of species expected to occur at a site given ecological conditions but being absent – the so‐called dark diversity – has received far less attention than observed species, even ...
