Inference of ecological networks and possibilistic dynamics based on Boolean networks from observations and prior knowledge

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Being able to infer the interactions between a set of species from observations of the system is of paramount importance to obtain explanatory and predictive models in ecology. We tackled this challenge by employing qualitative modelling frameworks and logic methods for the synthesis of mathematical models that can integrate both observations ...

Heated Aquatic Shelters Reduce Infection Intensity but Not Prevalence of a Fungal Pathogen in Common Toad Tadpoles

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
In a mesocosm experiment we tested whether heated aquatic shelters would help tadpoles of amphibian populations to eliminate Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) infection or reduce its costs. Our results showed that, after appropriate modifications, the shelters could be effectively used in mitigation actions against Bd or other waterborne pathogens ...

Predictions of southern migration timing in coastal sharks under future ocean warming

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Projected redistribution of marine species due to ocean warming may undermine current conservation efforts. Yet, there have been few studies on how ocean warming may alter migration timing. Across 5 years of acoustic telemetry data (2018–2022), we determined environmental drivers of southward migration timing for 6 migratory shark species from

No escape from microplastics: Contamination of reef manta ray feeding areas in a remote, protected archipelago

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
We found microplastic contamination of the upper water column around the Chagos Archipelago, a remote, protected archipelago in the central Indian Ocean. Key aggregation areas for reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) were contaminated, putting them at risk of microplastic ingestion.

Temperature‐dependent interspecific interference alters pygmy backswimmer predation on water fleas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Increasing densities of water mites alter the predation behaviour of pygmy backswimmer, particularly in higher temperatures. Pygmy backswimmer displayed type II functional response across all the treatments. In the absence of water mites, the functional response was higher at 25°C than at 16°C, indicated by a higher space clearance rate.
