Reassembly of a tropical rainforest ecosystem: A new chronosequence in the Ecuadorian Choco tested with the recovery of tree attributes

S. Escobar, F. L. Newell, M.-J. Endara, J. E. Guevara-Andino, A. R. Landim, E. L. Neuschulz, R. Nusser, J. Müller, K. M. Pedersen, M. Schleuning, C. J. Tremlett, E. Villa-Galaviz, H. M. Schaefer, D. A. Donoso, N. Blüthgen

The paper introduces a large-scale chronosequence in the Ecuadorian Choco to study forest recovery, finding that forest structure, biomass, and species richness increase with regeneration time and approach old-growth levels after decades to centuries.

Land use impacts poison frog chemical defenses through changes in leaf litter ant communities

N. A. Moskowitz, B. Dorritie, T. Fay, O. C. Nieves, C. Vidoudez, Cambridge Rindge and Latin 2017 Biology Class, Masconomet 2017 Biotechnology Class, E. K. Fischer, S. A. Trauger, L. A. Coloma, D. A. Donoso, L. A. O'Connell

This study links land use changes to poison frog chemical defenses by showing habitat fragmentation alters leaf litter ant communities, which in turn affects frog diet and alkaloid profiles.

Prey’s traits mediate a neotropical toad diet

M. T. McElroy, D. A. Donoso

This study examines the dietary preferences of Rhinella alata, finding that it preferentially eats large, textured ants regardless of nutritional content, and avoids smaller ants even when abundant.
