Dominant predators mediate the impact of habitat size on trophic structure in bromeliad invertebrate communities
(Ecological Society Of America, 2014-07)
Local habitat size has been shown to influence colonization and extinction processes of species in patchy environments. However, species differ in body size, mobility, and trophic level, and may not respond in the same way ...
Apex Predators, Rockshelters, and Zoonoses in the Patagonian Holocene
(American Society of Parasitologists, 2017-12)
Carnivorous mammals are a trophic guild with an important role in the dissemination of parasite infective stages (larvae, eggs, cysts, and oocysts). In the present study, new samples of coprolites attributed to carnivorous ...
Disassembled food webs and messy projections: modern ungulate communities in the face of unabating human population growth
(MDPI, 2020)
The human population grows inexorably. When Charles Darwin explored the southern cone of South America in 1830, fewer than 1.2 billion people inhabited Earth. When Ehrlich'sPopulation Bombappeared in 1968, there were similar ...
Backing up from negative stimuli: A back-thrust mechanism during escape-like response in wild sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus)
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10-30)
Broadnose sevengill sharks (Notorynchus cepedianus) show great interest for bait and display arepertoire of movements while engaging with it. A novel back-thrust mechanism is described in wild sevengill sharks by which ...
Using non-systematic surveys to investigate effects of regional climate variability on Australasian gannets in the Hauraki Gulf, New Zealand
(Elsevier Science, 2015-05)
Few studies have investigated regional and natural climate variability on seabird populations using ocean reanalysis datasets (e.g. Simple Ocean Data Assimilation (SODA)) that integrate atmospheric information to supplement ...
Dominant predators mediate the impact of habitat size on trophic structure in bromeliad invertebrate communities

Reductio ad absurdum: simplification of trophic processes in tropical forests
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2021-01-15)
Mudanças na abundância e persistência da biodiversidade, lideradas pela perda e fragmentação de habitats naturais têm sido descritas em todo o mundo. Estas mudanças geralmente são estudadas em modelos focados em espécies ...
Predation on livestock and its influence on tolerance toward pumas in agroecosystems of the Argentine Dry Chaco
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-11-07)
As an apex predator, pumas (Puma concolor) frequently enter into conflict with humans because of predation on livestock. We analyzed the association between puma predation and human tolerance in six agroecosystems of the ...
Puma predation subsidizes an obligate scavenger in the high Andes
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2017-06-30)
The ungulate–carnivore–vulture complex is a key trophic module of many terrestrial ecosystems, but one that is globally under threat. Few have explored cross-species dependencies in this module, and the degree to which ...
