Patch spatial attributes and time to disturbance affect the emergence of source...
Crispim-Mendes, Tiago; Roos, Deon; Ferreira, Clara; Paupério, Joana; Silva, João Paulo; Godinho, Sérgio; Alves, Paulo Célio; Mira, António; Beja, PedroUnderstanding the demography of local populations within ephemeral habitat patches is crucial for effective local (site-based) conservation management in spatially and temporally heterogeneous environments. Evidence suggests that species persisting in networks of ephemeral patches often exhibit source-sink dynamics, where certain local populations act as temporary sources at some time between initial colonizati...

A global initiative for ecological and evolutionary hologenomics
Leonard, Aoife; Abalos, Javier; Adhola, Titus; Aguirre, Windsor; Aizpurua, Ostaizka; Ali, Shahzad; Andreone, Franco; Aubret, FabienThe Earth Hologenome Initiative (EHI) is a global collaboration to generate and analyse hologenomic data from wild animals and associated microorganisms using standardised methodologies underpinned by open and inclusive research principles. Initially focused on vertebrates, it aims to re-examine ecological and evolutionary questions by studying host–microbiota interactions from a systemic perspective.
The effect of climate change on avian offspring production: A global meta-analysis
Halupka, Lucyna; Arlt, Debora; Tolvanen, Jere; Millon, Alexandre; Bize, Pierre; Adamík, Peter; Albert, Pascal; Arendt, Wayne J.; Artemyev, Alexander V.Climate change affects timing of reproduction in many bird species, but few studies have investigated its influence on annual reproductive output. Here, we assess changes in the annual production of young by female breeders in 201 populations of 104 bird species (N = 745,962 clutches) covering all continents between 1970 and 2019. Overall, average offspring production has declined in recent decades, but conside...
From species detection to population size indexing: the use of sign surveys for...
Peralta, Dinora; Vaz‑Freire, Teresa; Ferreira, Clara; Mendes, Tiago; Mira, António; Santos, Sara; Alves, Paulo C.; Lambin, Xavier; Beja, PedroMonitoring the occupancy and abundance of wildlife populations is key to evaluate their conservation status and trends. However, estimating these parameters often involves time and resource-intensive techniques, which are logistically challeng- ing or even unfeasible for rare and elusive species that occur patchily and in small numbers. Hence, surveys based on field identification of signs (e.g. faeces, footpri...

Hierarchical spatial segregation of two Mediterranean vole species: the role of...
Pita, Ricardo; Lambin, Xavier; Mira, António; Beja, PedroAccording to ecological theory, the coexistence of competitors in patchy environments may be facilitated by hierarchical spatial segregation along axes of environmental variation, but empirical evidence is limited. Cabrera and water voles show a metapopulation-like structure in Mediterranean farmland, where they are known to segregate along space, habitat, and time axes within habitat patches. Here, we assess w...
