As habitat loss and fragmentation increase globally, biodiversity conservation approaches are increasingly being implemented at the landscape scale to......
Rapid urbanization will increase the number of novel stream ecosystems in the Southeastern United States. The green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus) is a g......
Coyote (Canis latrans) are a generalist carnivore that are presumed to be a facultative scavenger. However, we observed feeding behavior that calls in......
Understanding species (co)-occurrence patterns and how these are affected and mediated by humans is essential for the development of management plans ......
The understanding of the trophic interactions of the ecological network is of great importance, sometimes being able to describe how the flow of energ......
Carnivorous plants typify a mixotrophic strategy where autotrophy is supported by predation on animals, ach-ieved through fascinating morpho-physiolog......
The presence of alien invasive species can enhance competitive interactions between native species. A common type of direct competition is kleptoparas......
Discrete landscape features can concentrate animals in time and space, leading to non-random interspecific encounters. These encounters have implicati......
Stream ecosystems are reliant on the reciprocal exchange of terrestrial and aquatic energy subsides to maintain a productive and stable food web. Land......
Carrion removal is a key ecological function of scavengers, and they promptly dispose of carcasses in those large African conservation areas where pre......
Artificial nesting structures have been used to aid the recovery and maintenance of certain avian populations such as the wood duck (Aix sponsa). The ......
We present evidence for the first documentation of consumption of a water oak (Quercus nigra) acorn by an eastern screech owl (Megascops asio). A scre......
Anthropogenic disturbances, including habitat changes, climate change, and pesticides, contribute significantly to species declines and extinctions wo......
A variety of animals have been observed cleaning ectoparasites off of another species. In terrestrial systems, the most common interactions involve bi......
Food webs provide context to understand how ecological communities will respond to environmental change, but revealing their structure typically relie......
