Migratory species are widespread in terrestrial, aquatic and aerial environments, and are
important both ecologically and economically. Since migration is an adaptive response to …

The use of semi‐isolated habitats such as oceanic islands, lakes and mountain summits as
model systems has played a crucial role in the development of evolutionary and ecological …

A pressing challenge in ecology is to understand the effects of changing global
temperatures on food web structure and dynamics. The stability of these complex ecological …

The large Neotropical family G onyleptidae comprises nearly 820 species divided into 16
subfamilies. The majority of publications on harvestman ecology, behaviour and scent gland …

Being characterized by the absence of light and a reduced environmental cyclicity, the
subterranean domain is generally regarded as temporally stable. Yet, in the proximity of …

Cross-habitat spillover may be the outcome of a process of habitat loss or degradation
where the receiving habitat serves as a refuge for organisms. Once surface habitats are lost …

Many species roost communally but the proximate causes and ultimate functions of this
widespread behavior remain poorly understood. We studied the communal roosts of two …

The present study evaluated the seasonal variation of a population of Hypena sp. in the
Gruta Taboa (Sete Lagoas, Minas Gerais, Brazil), in relation to changes in temperature and …

Community stability and carrying capacity are essential core concepts in ecology because
they reflect the interactions between organisms and their environment and provide clues to …

Harvester species exhibit a diverse array of defenses against predators. In this article, we
briefly cover chemical defenses, coloration patterns, autotomy, aggregations, freezing …
