Facilitating macrosystem biology with organismal‐scale airborne remote sensing: Challenges and opportunities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Emergent ecosystem properties, such as population and trait distributions, biodiversity and energy and water fluxes, occur because of the dynamic interactions of individuals in their environment.

Soil and microbial responses to wild ungulate trampling depend more on ecosystem type than trampling severity

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Physical trampling is a ubiquitous activity of walking vertebrates, but is poorly understood as a mechanism impacting biogeochemical cycling in soil. Lack of detailed knowledge of soil abiotic–biotic interactions underlying trampling effects, and the primary sources of ...

Diet, phenology and body size shape nutrient release by songbirds

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Animals can dramatically alter ecosystem structure and function through the cycling and transport of nutrients in their waste. While birds are particularly capable of influencing nutrient cycles due to their high mobility, abundance, metabolism and functional diversity,

Functional traits explain responses of Appalachian birds to vertical and horizontal forest structure

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
The study of bird–forest relationships dates back decades, but rarely have the relationships of functional traits to 3D forest structure responses been considered for dozens of species at regional scales. Abstract Species interact with habitat based on their functional traits, but it is unclear how specific traits interact with the multiple components ...
