Available time-series of terrestrial animals provide low reliability in population trend estimates

The paper assesses the reliability of population trend estimates from time-series data of terrestrial animals, finding most are too short or noisy to detect meaningful trends.

Coevolution of phenological traits shapes plant-pollinator coexistence

The paper develops a theoretical model to show how phenological trait coevolution promotes stable, diverse plant-pollinator communities by fostering facilitation over competition, contrasting with morphological coevolution.

A probabilistic view of forbidden links: their prevalence and their consequences for the robustness of plant-hummingbird communities

The paper assesses the prevalence and impact of exploitation barriers on network robustness in plant-hummingbird communities using a Bayesian hierarchical model and interaction data.

Weather explains inter-annual variability, but not the temporal decline, in insect biomass

This paper reanalyzes insect biomass decline data, showing a significant temporal decline not explained by weather, contrary to Muller et al.'s conclusion.
