Mixed‐species animal groups (MSGs) are widely acknowledged to increase predator
avoidance and foraging efficiency, among other benefits, and thereby increase participants' …

Mixed-species flocks of birds are distributed world-wide and can be especially dominant in
temperate forests during the non-breeding season and in tropical rainforests year-round. We …

Tropical East Asia is home to over one billion people and faces massive human impacts
from its rising population and rapid economic growth. It has already lost more than two-thirds …

Insectivorous birds reach their highest diversity in the tropics and represent a striking variety
of morphological and behavioral specializations for foraging, yet explanations for these …

Members of the archaeal Miscellaneous Crenarchaeotic Group (MCG) are among the most
successful microorganisms on the planet. During its evolutionary diversification, this very …

Empirical studies in select systems suggest that social information—the incidental or
deliberate information produced by animals and available to other animals—can …

Traditionally, microbial surveys investigating the effect of chronic anthropogenic pressure
such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) contaminations consider just the alpha and beta …

Understanding how non-trophic social systems respond to environmental gradients is still a
challenge in animal ecology, particularly in comparing changes in species composition to …

Island biogeography theory has proved a robust approach to predicting island biodiversity
on the assumption of species equivalency. However, species differ in their grouping …

Participants in mixed-species bird flocks (MSFs) have been shown to associate with species
that are similar in body size, diet, and evolutionary history, suggesting that facilitation …
