DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1703
Abstract: Despite the breadth of research on impacts of dense ungulate populations and invasive plants on native vegetation, work involving indirect effects on spider communities is explicitly lacking. Forest spiders depend on palatable insect prey and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3716
Abstract: Space and time promote variation in network structure by affecting the likelihood of potential interactions. However, little is known about the relative roles of ecological and biogeographical processes in determining how species interactions vary across… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10531-020-02039-w
Abstract: Large carnivore conservation is important for ecosystem integrity and understanding drivers of their abundance is essential to guide conservation efforts. Leopard (Panthera pardus) populations are in a general state of decline, although local studies demonstrated… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/plankt/fbac014
Abstract: Abstract Climate change will increase the magnitude and duration of warming events and the variability in the phenology and abundance of available prey to the early life stages of fish. These factors influence physiological, behavioral… read more here.

Combined measurements of prey availability explain habitat selection in foraging seabirds
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biology Letters"
DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2018.0348
Abstract: Understanding links between habitat characteristics and foraging efficiency helps predict how environmental changes influence populations of top predators. This study examines whether measurements of prey (clupeids) availability varied over stratification gradients, and determined if any… read more here.

Influence of agricultural intensification on prey availability and nestling diet in Tree Swallows (Tachycineta bicolor)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Canadian Journal of Zoology"
DOI: 10.1139/cjz-2017-0229
Abstract: Over the last decades, aerial insectivorous birds have been declining in both North America and Europe. Those declines have been hypothetically attributed to a decrease in prey availability caused by agricultural intensification but empirical evidence… read more here.

DOI: 10.2981/wlb.00540
Abstract: Habitat fragmentation represents the single greatest conservation challenge of the 21st century. This problem is particularly acute for large, obligate carnivores like pumas Puma concolor which have persisted in North and South America in the… read more here.

Metabolic Reliance on Photosynthesis Depends on Both Irradiance and Prey Availability in the Mixotrophic Ciliate, Strombidium cf. basimorphum
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Microbiology"
DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2021.642600
Abstract: Many species of the ciliate genus Strombidium can acquire functional chloroplasts from a wide range of algal prey and are thus classified as generalist non-constitutive mixotrophs. Little, however, is known about the influence of irradiance… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d12090356
Abstract: Several large carnivore populations are recovering former ranges, and it is important to understand interspecific interactions between overlapping species. In Scandinavia, recent research has reported that brown bear presence influences gray wolf habitat selection and… read more here.
