Trophic adaptation of large terrestrial omnivores to global change

This study shows that large terrestrial omnivores, like bears, adjust their trophic positions in response to changes in primary productivity and growing season length.

Ontogeny shapes individual specialization

The paper investigates the ontogeny of individual dietary specialization in European brown bears, finding social learning and maternal effects are key drivers.

Including biotic interactions in species distribution models improves the understanding of species niche: a case of study with the brown bear in Europe

This study shows that including biotic interactions in species distribution models improves predictions of future range shifts for brown bears in Europe under climate and land use change scenarios.

Tripartite networks show that keystone species can multitask

The paper examines if keystone species importance spans multiple ecological niche dimensions using tripartite interaction networks and finds it does, independently of abundance.
