A amostragem estratificada aprimora a compreensão das redes entre morcegos e frutos na Mata Atlântica meridional

Oikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

The effect of light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on the soil seed bank diversity in temperate forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
Light is a key driver of understory plant diversity, also important for seed germination, yet its effect on forests soil seed bank diversity remains underexplored. This study assessed the impact of both light availability and spatio‐temporal heterogeneity on soil seed bank diversity.

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure

Oikos, EarlyView.
Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

Oikos, EarlyView.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Butterfly and moth habitat specialisation changes along an elevational gradient of tropical forests on Mount Cameroon

Oikos, EarlyView.
Niche breadth, reflecting the range of environmental conditions or resources a species can exploit, influences its distribution, persistence, vulnerability to environmental change, and interspecific interactions. The elevational niche‐breadth hypothesis predicts broader ecological niches at higher elevations due to increased environmental stress and ...
