The paper introduces MoveTraits, a database integrating animal behavior into trait-based ecology by standardizing movement traits from biologging data to improve global change predictions and biodiversity assessments.

The paper shows climate, not latitude, drives plant-pollinator specialisation globally, with specialisation peaking at northern mid-latitudes and declining in warmer, more seasonal climates.

The paper examines how community-level plant functional strategies influence carbon storage across an elevational gradient, finding two key strategies linked to carbon stocks.

The paper estimates that seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests take about 18 years to recover functionally after deforestation.

The paper shows acoustic indices can predict recovery of tropical bird communities, including taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic composition, using audio recordings and Hill numbers analysis.

This study projects declines in plant-frugivore interaction diversity under climate change, with potential mitigation through bird dispersal and dietary flexibility.

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.

This study examines how tree-related microhabitat diversity and composition change along climate and human impact gradients in tropical ecosystems on Kilimanjaro.

This study extends the typology of tree-related microhabitats to include tropical forests and compares their diversity between tropical and temperate forests.
