Threatened and non-threatened bats play equivalent roles in bat-flower meta-networks at global and biogeographic realm scales - Biodiversity and Conservation In tropical and subtropical ecosystems, nectar-eating bats are essential pollinators of numerous plant species; however, the global organization of bat-flower interaction networks remains poorly under...

Murciélagos y flores!

🦇🌸 In this new study, we show that both threatened and non-threatened bats are important for the structure and maintenance of bat-flower interaction networks at global and regional scales.

Forest Age Rivals Climate to Explain Reproductive Allocation Patterns in Forest Ecosystems Globally Forest allocation of net primary productivity (NPP) to reproduction is poorly quantified globally, despite its critical role in forest regeneration and a well-supported trade-off with allocation to g...

The first chapter of my dissertation is out in Ecology Letters! We pooled data from forest sites across the globe to understand how forests differ in their carbon investment in reproduction (flowers, fruits, seeds). #ForestEcology #GlobalEcology onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Phylogenomic, morphological and acoustic data support a revised taxonomy of the lissodelphinine dolphin subfamily The dolphin genus Lagenorhynchus has included six species of dolphins characterized by short, wide rostra. Genetic analyses have consistently found th…

We have redefined Dolphin Taxonomy 🐬

5 former Lagenorhynchus species have been reassigned to the new/revived and redefined genera:

Aethalodelphis, Leucopleurus & Cephalorhynchus

Human contributions to global soundscapes are less predictable than the acoustic rhythms of wildlife - Nature Ecology & Evolution Analysis of soundscape data from 139 globally distributed sites reveals that sounds of biological origin exhibit predictable rhythms depending on location and season, whereas sounds of anthropogenic o...

The domino effect of roads on biodiversity: How the impacts of wildlife-vehicle collisions propagate through food webs — Transport Ecology Our study reveals that roads and traffic not only cause direct wildlife mortality but also destabilise entire ecological networks by altering predator-prey interactions. By mapping high-risk areas for...

Urban rewilding to combat global biodiversity decline Abstract. Rapid urbanization is contributing to unprecedented biodiversity decline worldwide. Despite biodiversity loss being more pronounced in cities, tr

Restoring native vegetation is largely undertaken far from #urbanlandscapes. More proactive approaches, such as #rewilding, have garnered momentum as a #conservation process but remain underused in #cities 🌍🌐
