Streetlights affect moth orientation beyond flight-to-light behaviour

This study shows streetlights disrupt moth orientation beyond flight-to-light behavior, affecting movement patterns and potentially ecosystem services.

Disentangling effects of climate and land use on biodiversity and ecosystem services - a multi-scale experimental design

This paper introduces a multi-scale experimental design to study the effects of climate and land use on biodiversity and ecosystem services, achieving low correlations between environmental variables across scales.

Natural Zeitgebers cannot compensate for the loss of a functional circadian clock in timing of a vital behaviour in Drosophila

This study shows that a functional molecular clock is necessary for proper timing of eclosion in Drosophila under natural conditions, while peptide-mediated phasing can be maintained with natural Zeitgebers.

Habitat loss and fragmentation increase realized predator-prey body size ratios

The paper models how habitat fragmentation affects predator-prey body size ratios by considering both top-down and bottom-up ecological forces.

Information use during movement regulates how fragmentation and loss of habitat affect body size.

The paper models how information use during movement affects body size responses to habitat fragmentation and loss, showing informed settlement favors larger sizes while random settlement favors smaller sizes.

Size-dependent movement explains why bigger is better in fragmented landscapes

The paper shows that in fragmented landscapes, larger species dominate due to size-dependent movement, which optimizes resource uptake and affects community stability.
