Bioreactors on the Move: How Animals Contribute to Microbial Community Coalescence and Shape Ecosystem FunctionNARA Subscribed
Microbiome community coalescence—the mixing of separate microbial communities and their environments resulting in a novel community—represents an important but understudied ecological process at the animal‐environment interface. Here, we propose that animals function as “mobile bioreactors” across landscapes, ingesting environmental microbes that undergo selective filtering within the animal gut that are then deposited back in...
Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are linked through the reciprocal exchange of materials and organisms. Aquatic‐to‐terrestrial subsidies are relatively small in most terrestrial ecosystems, but they can provide high contents of limiting resources that increase consumer fitness and ecosystem production. However, they also may carry significant contaminant loads, particularly in anthropogenically impacted watersheds. Global ch...
NEOTROPICAL ALIEN MAMMALS: a data set of occurrence and abundance of alien mammals in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Biological invasion is one of the main threats to native biodiversity. For a species to become invasive, it must be voluntarily or involuntarily introduced by humans into a nonnative habitat. Mammals were among first taxa to be introduced worldwide for game, meat, and labor, yet the number of species introduced in the Neotropics remains unknown. In this data set, we make available occurrence and abundance data on mammal specie...
Organic matter and nutrient inputs from large wildlife influence ecosystem function in the Mara River, AfricaNARA Subscribed
Animals can be important vectors for the movement of resources across ecosystem boundaries. Animals add resources to ecosystems primarily through egestion, excretion, and carcasses, and the stoichiometry and bioavailability of these inputs likely interact with characteristics of the recipient ecosystem to determine their effects on ecosystem function. We studied the influence of hippopotamus excretion/egestion and wildebeest c...
