This blog post on ‘Life histories’ is part of the BES ‘Key Concepts in Ecology’ series, designed to help ecologists in learning the key topics in ecology! Take a look at the full blog series for a list of key topics you might typically find in an ecology textbook, each providing a quick introduction to the topic, and a list of suggested papers for students … Continue reading Key Concepts in Ecology: Life histories
This blog post is provided by Hannah J. White, Joseph J. Bailey and Samuel R. P.-J. Ross and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper ‘Response trait diversity and species asynchrony underlie the diversity–stability relationship in Romanian bird communities’, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. The number of individuals and what species there are within ecological communities varies through time. This is known … Continue reading The stability of bird communities
This blog post is provided by Mari Aas Fjelldal and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “The small-bat-in-summer paradigm: energetics and adaptive behavioural routines of bats investigated through a stochastic dynamic model”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, they present a model framework of the behavioural decisions small bats make in order to survive the short summer nights at high … Continue reading The “small bat in summer” model
