🦋 Species richness declined across all dimensions, but functional diversity among dominant moths increased.
🌪️ Post-hurricane, small grass-feeding moths thrived, while large arboreal-feeding geometrids declined.

Hurricanes lead to declines in taxonomic, phylogenetic, and functional richness and shifts in moth community composition Disturbances play a central role in shaping biodiversity, influencing both community structure and ecosystem function. The responses of biodiversity to disturbance are inherently multidimensional, of...

Sharing this new paper from a collaboration led by @auraalonsorodz.bsky.social on how moth communities respond to hurricanes in tropical forests.
