The “gall” of it all – how a latitudinal gradient in the diversity of oak gall formers contributes to the outbreak of a range-expanding species

This blog post is provided by Dylan Jones and Kirsten Prior and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Latitudinal gradient in species diversity provides high niche opportunities for a range-expanding phytophagous insect“, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study they explore how gall wasp communities vary from north to south in the United States of America, and how reduced … Continue reading The “gall” of it all – how a latitudinal gradient in the diversity of oak gall formers contributes to the outbreak of a range-expanding species

Finding out when rare and common species change their interactions using multi-site interaction turnover

This blog post is provided by Marie V. Henriksen and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “A multi-site method to capture turnover in rare to common interactions in bipartite species networks”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In ecological networks, species are linked by their interactions to form complex interaction networks. How species interact in these networks reveals what role they … Continue reading Finding out when rare and common species change their interactions using multi-site interaction turnover
