Um achado fortuito em uma floresta familiar: Descobrindo uma nova espécie onde cresci

Esta blog foi escrito por Henrique Negrello-Oliveira e conta a #StoryBehindThePaper do artigo “Across the edge: Spatial segregation drives community structure in tri-trophic multilayer networks at a forest-grassland edge“, publicado recentemente no Journal of Animal Ecology. Este estudo buscou responder se a borda campo/floresta funcionaria como uma barreira ou contínuo ecológico, dada a distribuição espacial das interações entre espécies ao longo da borda Florestas e … Continue reading Um achado fortuito em uma floresta familiar: Descobrindo uma nova espécie onde cresci

A Fortuitous Find in a Familiar Forest: Uncovering a New Species Where I Grew Up

This blog post is provided by Henrique Negrello-Oliveira and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Across the edge: Spatial segregation drives community structure in tritrophic multilayer networks at a forest-grassland edge”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. This study set out to answer whether this transitional area would function as an ecological barrier or a continuum, given the spatial distribution of species … Continue reading A Fortuitous Find in a Familiar Forest: Uncovering a New Species Where I Grew Up

How do your relationships shape who you are as an individual?

This blog post is provided by Marine Richarson and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Effects of competition and predation risk from a life history intraguild predator on individual specialisation“, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. This study examined the effects of perch, which act as competitors and predators, on the dietary and habitat shifts of the common bully. Humans are omnivorous … Continue reading How do your relationships shape who you are as an individual?

Species co-occurrence in a ‘disturbed’ community of tropical understorey birds

This blog post is provided by David Costantini and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Selective logging weakly influences species co-occurrence in a community of tropical understorey birds”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In this study, Costantini et al. explored the processes shaping species co-occurrence of understorey birds in old-growth and selectively logged habitats in Borneo. Tropical forests are primarily degraded … Continue reading Species co-occurrence in a ‘disturbed’ community of tropical understorey birds

Gentle Giants, Robust Communities: Unpacking the Hidden Impact of Asian Elephants in Tropical Forests

This blog post is provided by Li-Li Li and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Asian elephants are associated with a more robust mammalian community in tropical forests”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. This study provides insights into the role that Asian elephants play as “architects of abundance” in maintaining mammalian communities. Deep within the incredibly complex and vibrant worlds of … Continue reading Gentle Giants, Robust Communities: Unpacking the Hidden Impact of Asian Elephants in Tropical Forests

On how and why I took more than 22,500 colour measurements in a month and survived

This blog post is provided by David Lopez-Idiaquez and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Global patterns of colouration complexity in the Paridae: effects of climate and species characteristics across body regions”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In this study, Lopez-Idiaquez explored the colouration of specimens of 58 Paridae species, and found that distinct plumage areas are affected by different environmental … Continue reading On how and why I took more than 22,500 colour measurements in a month and survived
