DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16018
Abstract: Hummingbird pollination evolved numerous times independently and has been reported from 404 plant genera distributed over 68 angiosperm families (Abrahamczyk and Kessler 2015). This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7508
Abstract: Abstract In ecological communities, interactions between consumers and resources lead to the emergence of ecological networks and a fundamental problem to solve is to understand which factors shape network structure. Empirical and theoretical studies on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8172
Abstract: Abstract Factors influencing grazing behavior in species‐rich grasslands have been little studied. Methodologies have mostly had a primary focus on grasslands with lower floristic diversity. We test the hypothesis that grazing behavior is influenced by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ympev.2021.107198
Abstract: Understanding how and why some groups have become more species-rich than others, and how past biogeography may have shaped their current distribution, are questions that evolutionary biologists have long attempted to answer. We investigated diversification… read more here.

Linking functional traits and demography to model species-rich communities
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Nature Communications"
DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-22630-1
Abstract: It has long been anticipated that relating functional traits to species demography would be a cornerstone for achieving large-scale predictability of ecological systems. If such a relationship existed, species demography could be modeled only by… read more here.

Self-consistent dispersal puts tight constraints on the spatiotemporal organization of species-rich metacommunities

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2200390119
Abstract: Significance Dispersal can be critical to the maintenance of ecosystems as it allows local communities to be recolonized after extinction. However, it remains unclear whether the extinction-mitigating effect of dispersal persists when the number of… read more here.

Assessing the distribution of a species‐rich group in a continental‐sized megadiverse country: Bats in Brazil

DOI: 10.1111/ddi.13043
Abstract: AIM: The effective conservation and management of any given species frequently requires basic knowledge on its distribution, which is problematic for highly mobile, species‐ and ecologically‐rich groups, like bats. Moreover, to produce detailed distributions for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ele.13359
Abstract: Abstract The top‐down and indirect effects of insects on plant communities depend on patterns of host use, which are often poorly documented, particularly in species‐rich tropical forests. At Barro Colorado Island, Panama, we compiled the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/msystems.00160-22
Abstract: There is now a great awareness of the high diversity of most environmental (“free-living”) and host-associated microbiomes, but exactly how diverse microbial communities form and maintain is still highly debated. A variety of theories have… read more here.
