Macroecological variation in movement profiles: body size does not explain it all

The paper analyzes movement profiles across vertebrates to show that body size does not fully explain movement distances, highlighting the role of ecological and biomechanical constraints.

Nonlinear Effects of Intraspecific Competition Alter Landscape-Wide Upscaling of Ecosystem Function

The paper shows that nonlinear intraspecific competition significantly reduces landscape-scale predictions of leaf litter decomposition rates compared to density-independent models.

Assessing different components of biodiversity across a river network using eDNA

This study compares eDNA and kicknet methods for assessing biodiversity in a river network, finding similar richness estimates but differing community composition assessments.

Dispersal syndromes can impact ecosystem functioning in spatially structured freshwater populations

The paper examines how dispersal syndromes affect detrital processing in freshwater ecosystems by comparing dispersing and resident individuals of two invertebrate species.

Do priority effects outweigh environmental filtering in a guild of dominant freshwater macroinvertebrates?

The paper investigates whether priority effects or environmental filtering shape the distribution of dominant freshwater macroinvertebrates, finding that priority effects, not environmental filtering, determine species co-occurrence and dominance.
