Too young to be bold: Lack of personality in juvenile gobyNARA Subscribed
Animal personality, defined as consistent individual differences in behaviour across time and contexts, can significantly influence fitness and survival. However, the expression and stability of personality traits across ontogeny remain poorly understood, particularly in species undergoing complex life history transitions. Here, we examined behavioural consistency in juvenile two-spotted goby ( Pomatoschistus flavescens ) duri...
Legacy effects, defined as persistent ecological impacts after a species extirpation or cessation of activity, can significantly influence ecosystem structure and function. While extensively studied in plant invasions, legacy effects of invasive animals may differ and remain largely unexplored. We assessed the afterlife effects of subterranean nests built by invasive Vespula social wasps on ecosystem properties in Patagonia, A...
Discovery of Knock‐Down Resistance in the Major African Malaria Vector Anopheles funestusNARA Subscribed
A major insecticide resistance mechanism in insect pests is knock‐down resistance ( kdr ) caused by mutations in the voltage‐gated sodium channel ( Vgsc ) gene. Despite being common in most malaria Anopheles vector species, kdr mutations have never been observed in Anopheles funestus , the principal malaria vector in Eastern and Southern Africa, with resistance mainly being conferred by detoxification enzymes. In a parallel st...
Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threatsNARA Subscribed
Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities. We answer the following research questions: (1) What are the patterns of dominance and rarity in tree...
The cooperative ESG disclosure index: an empirical approachNARA Subscribed
Growing concern about Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) performance is pushing businesses, including social economy enterprises such as cooperatives, to seek solutions for Sustainable Development (SD) challenges. This study explores the current landscape of ESG reporting by Spanish cooperatives, adding to the limited knowledge about their sustainability disclosure practices. We propose a specific framework for these...
