Assessing how biofilms modulate stream periphyton metacommunity assemblage: A translocation experimentNARA Subscribed
The role of three‐dimensional structural complexity in shaping communities has been increasingly studied, and evidence indicates that vertical stratification favors coexistence through niche partitioning. Despite the clear relationship between three‐dimensional structure and community assemblages, its role in shaping metacommunity processes is still unclear. To address this knowledge gap, we carried out a translocation experim...
A global analysis of field body temperatures of active squamates in relation to climate and behaviourNARA Subscribed
Aim Squamate fitness is affected by body temperature, which in turn is influenced by environmental temperatures and, in many species, by exposure to solar radiation. The biophysical drivers of body temperature have been widely studied, but we lack an integrative synthesis of actual body temperatures experienced in the field, and their relationships to environmental temperatures, across phylogeny, behaviour and climate. Locatio...
Warming and ocean acidification are currently critical global change drivers for marine ecosystems due to their complex and irreversible effects on the ecology and evolution of marine communities. Changes in the chemistry and the temperature of the ocean impact the biological performance of marine resources by affecting their energy budget and thus imposing energetic restrictions and trade-offs on their survival, growth, and r...

Evaluating the efficacy of restoration plantings through DNA barcoding of frugivorous bird dietsNARA Subscribed
Frugivores are critical components of restoration programs because they are seed dispersers. Thus, knowledge about bird–plant trophic relationships is essential in the evaluation of the efficacy of restoration processes. Traditionally, the diet of frugivores is characterized by microscopically identifying plant residues in droppings, which is time‐consuming, requires botanical knowledge, and cannot be used for fragments lackin...

Dispersal and transient dynamics in metapopulationsNARA Subscribed
Recent studies of spatially explicit metapopulation models have shown the existence of complex transient behaviour (supertransients and mesotransients) characterized by spontaneous changes in the system's dynamics after thousands or hundreds of generations, respectively. Their detection in simple ecological models has been taken as evidence that transient dynamics may be common in nature. In this study, we explore the generali...
