DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9014
Abstract: Abstract The viability of wild bee populations and the pollination services that they provide are driven by the availability of food resources during their activity period and within the surroundings of their nesting sites. Changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.1981
Abstract: Changes in climate can indirectly regulate populations at higher trophic levels by influencing the availability of food resources in the lower reaches of the food web. As such, species that rely on fruit and nectar… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-018-4142-2
Abstract: Food resource availability varies along gradients of elevation where riparian vegetative cover exerts control on the relative availability of allochthonous and autochthonous resources in streams. Still, little is known about how elevation gradients can alter… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1701-8
Abstract: Invasions by nonnative plants can alter the abundance of native animals, yet we know little about the mechanisms driving these changes. Shifts in vegetation characteristics resulting from nonnative plants can alter availability of food resources,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtbi.2018.09.019
Abstract: There are three non-mutually-exclusive key strategies evolved by gene pools to cope with fluctuating food resource availability, including evolutionary adaptation, phenotypic plasticity, and migration. We focus primarily on evolutionary adaptation and behavioral plasticity, which is… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/su14084789
Abstract: Agriculture impacts both human welfare and biodiversity at the same time. Still, social and ecological assessments have commonly analyzed the relevance of agroecosystems separately. We evaluated the human and avian feeding use of the biocultural… read more here.
