Cascatas tróficas dentro e entre ecossistemas: atributos dos recursos basais e consumidores modulam os impactos desencadeados por múltiplos predadores de ecossistemas adjacentes

Este post é da autoria de Pablo Augusto P. Antiqueira e conta a #StoryBehindthePaper do artigo “Trophic cascades within and across ecosystems: the role of anti-predatory defences, predator type, and detritus quality”, publicado recentemente no Journal of Animal Ecology. Utilizando a bromélia-tanque como sistema modelo, Antiqueira e colegas investigam os efeitos de predadores inter-ecossistemas (aranhas mergulhadoras) sobre as presas, outros predadores e os ecossistemas que utilizam. … Continue reading Cascatas tróficas dentro e entre ecossistemas: atributos dos recursos basais e consumidores modulam os impactos desencadeados por múltiplos predadores de ecossistemas adjacentes

Trophic cascades within and across ecosystems: resource and consumer attributes modulate the impacts triggered by multiple predators from adjacent ecosystems

This blog post is provided by Pablo Augusto P. Antiqueira and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Trophic cascades within and across ecosystems: the role of anti-predatory defences, predator type, and detritus quality”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. Using tank-bromeliad as a model system, Antiqueira and colleagues investigate the effects of cross-ecosystem predators (diving spiders) on prey, other predators and the … Continue reading Trophic cascades within and across ecosystems: resource and consumer attributes modulate the impacts triggered by multiple predators from adjacent ecosystems

Could apex predators limit the seed dispersal of fleshy-fruit plants? A rewilding scenario involving mammal carnivores.

This blog post is provided by Tamara Burgos and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper “Predation risk can modify the foraging behaviour of frugivorous carnivores: implications of rewilding apex predators in plant-animal mutualisms”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Tamara Burgos is carrying out her PhD in Ecology at the University Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid, Spain. Her research interests focus on … Continue reading Could apex predators limit the seed dispersal of fleshy-fruit plants? A rewilding scenario involving mammal carnivores.

Native predator loss opens all-year roadkill buffet for remaining scavengers

This blog post is provided by Matthew Fielding and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the paper ‘Roadkill islands: Carnivore extinction shifts seasonal use of roadside carrion by generalist avian scavenger’, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. Matthew Fielding is a PhD student at the School of Natural Sciences at UTAS. A self-confessed “bird nerd”, you can usually find him in the Tasmanian wilderness … Continue reading Native predator loss opens all-year roadkill buffet for remaining scavengers
