Butterfly Daily Commutes: Coping with Habitat Disturbance in Tropical Forests

This blog post is provided by Shuang Xing and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Butterflies respond to habitat disturbance in tropical forests through activity shifts“, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Xing and colleagues investigate butterfly behavioural responses to habitat disturbance across tropical Asia, highlighting both their resilience and sensitivity to microclimatic change. Intact tropical forests exhibit … Continue reading Butterfly Daily Commutes: Coping with Habitat Disturbance in Tropical Forests

Sharing a Sunny Spot: How Microclimate Shapes Lizard Coexistence Along An Altitudinal Gradient

This blog post is provided by Urban Dajčman and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Microclimate variability impacts the coexistence of highland and lowland ectotherms“, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Dajčman and colleagues investigate how two Slovenian lizard species respond differently to environmental conditions in locations where they occur together or separately. When hiking in the forests and … Continue reading Sharing a Sunny Spot: How Microclimate Shapes Lizard Coexistence Along An Altitudinal Gradient
