Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities
Ecography, EarlyView.Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates
Ecography, EarlyView.Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The abundance center hypothesis (ACH) posits that species abundance peaks at distribution centers; however, empirical support remains inconsistent. This study tested the generality of the ACH and investigated species traits as mediators of abundance–distance relationships.

Ecography, EarlyView.Studies using climatic gradients play a key role in our understanding of the importance of rainfall and temperature as factors regulating species diversity and distribution, and thus of likely responses to climate change. However, such studies currently consider above‐ground species only, ignoring the diverse hypogaeic (subterranean) invertebrate fauna.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Mangroves are critical resources in sustaining coastal communities by providing essential ecosystem goods and services. Occurring within the interface of land and sea, they serve as critical ecological zones shaped by dynamic interactions between terrestrial and marine systems.

Letting People in: Redefining Collaboration in Wildland–Urban Interface Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Intensifying wildfire regimes and expanding human settlements into wilderness areas have heightened concerns about the wildland–urban interface (WUI) due to the associated increase in fire risk. However, the WUI presents broader social‐ecological challenges that go beyond wildfire risk and remain understudied.
