The clock matters when we study pollination

This blog post is provided by Caio S. Ballarin and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article, “Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. This study tracked plant-bee interaction networks throughout the day, revealing how interactions shift from dawn to dusk. They provide a framework to optimise sampling strategies that capture ecological network structure more accurately and … Continue reading The clock matters when we study pollination

Who is next in line? Predicting which Red Sea fish will invade the Mediterranean Sea

This blog post is provided by Shahar Chaikin and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article, “Native habitat affinities predict fish invasions with post-invasion habitat shifts”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. This study tracked fish populations within their native Red Sea range and into their invaded Eastern Mediterranean range, revealing traits that drive invasion success and highlighting how pre-invasion adaptations can better … Continue reading Who is next in line?
