Abstract: The relative roles of plants competing for resources versus top-down control of vegetation by herbivores, in turn impacted by predators, during early stages of tropical forest succession remain poorly understood. Here we examine the impact… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/aec.13025
Abstract: Heat-related mortality events involving birds and bats are projected to occur more frequently as a result of anthropogenic global heating. Reports of mass mortalities associated with extreme heat have, over the last decade, mostly involved… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jav.02277
Abstract: Nest predation is one of the main causes of bird mortality, and the development of nest anti‐predatory defenses can mold many aspects of bird evolution. Here we report that bats can attack nests in incubation… read more here.
