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.
Urbanisation generates multiple trait syndromes for terrestrial animal taxa wor...
Hahs, Amy K.; Fournier, Bertrand; Aronson, Myla F. J.; Nilon, Charles H.; Herrera-Montes, Adriana; Salisbury, Allyson B.; Threlfall, Caragh G.Cities can host significant biological diversity. Yet, urbanisation leads to the loss of habitats, species, and functional groups. Understanding how multiple taxa respond to urbanisation globally is essential to promote and conserve biodiversity in cities. Using a dataset encompassing six terrestrial faunal taxa (amphibians, bats, bees, birds, carabid beetles and reptiles) across 379 cities on 6 continents, we ...
Terrestrial and Marine Foraging Strategies of an Opportunistic Seabird Species ...
Garthe, Stefan; Schwemmer, Philipp; Paiva, Vitor H.; Corman, Anna-Marie; Fock, Heino O.; Voigt, Christian C.; Adler, SvenLesser black-backed gulls Larus fuscus are considered to be mainly pelagic. We assessed the importance of different landscape elements (open sea, tidal flats and inland) by comparing marine and terrestrial foraging behaviours in lesser black-backed gulls breeding along the coast of the southern North Sea. We attached GPS data loggers to eight incubating birds and collected information on diet and habitat use. T...
