Studying interspecific population synchrony: current status and future perspectives

Ecography, EarlyView.
Interspecific population synchrony, or co‐fluctuations in the population dynamics and demographic parameters of different species, is an important ecological phenomenon with major implications for the stability of communities and ecosystems. It is also central in the context of biodiversity loss, as interspecific synchrony can influence how ecological ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Assessing the Functional Limitations of Lipids and Fatty Acids for Diet Determination: The Importance of Tissue Type, Quantity, and Quality

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Lipid and fatty acid (FA) analysis is commonly used to describe the trophic ecology of an increasing number of taxa. However, the applicability of these analyses is contingent upon the collection and storage of sufficient high quality tissue, the ...

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Alpine ungulates adjust diel activity to the natural return of wolves amid anthropogenic pressures

Ecography, EarlyView.
As wolves recolonise their historical range across Europe, ungulates face predation once more – but in landscapes profoundly altered by human activity. This shift raises crucial questions about their capacity to express adaptive antipredator behaviours.

Spatial variation, more than ontogenetic, explains the diet of Bryconamericus exodon in two Pantanal rivers

Acta Limnologica Brasiliensia
Aim Studies of natural variations in fish diet allow, in turn, a better understanding of environmental changes along the hydrological cycle that can affect resources and, hence, biodiversity conservation.

Fins are relevant non-lethal surrogates for muscle to measure stable isotopes in amphibians

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems, 2019
Stable isotope analyses (SIA) are now widely used in ecology research to quantify the trophic implications of a large range of ecological processes.

Deep refuges: the distribution of marine fish in warming subtropics

Ecography, EarlyView.
In light of global climate change, identifying critical marine habitats and conserving them is essential. Marine conservation planning recommends designating cooler habitats as marine protected areas. The ‘deep‐reef refugia' hypothesis suggests that deeper, suitable habitats may allow species to undergo the evolutionary changes necessary to adapt to ...
