However, the effect of urbanization on insect phenology remains understudied in more tropical areas, where temperature may be a weaker phenological cue. We surveyed moths across an urban gradient in a subtropical city weekly for a year to test how impervious surface and canopy cover impact phenology at the caterpillar and adult life stages. For macro-moths, we also examine how these effects vary with life history traits. When pooling all individuals, we found no effect of urbanization proxy variables on timing of caterpillar or adult phenology. At the species-specific level, we found timing of peak adult macro-moths is influenced by canopy cover, which also interacts with two traits: temperature niche and body size. Cold-adapted species delay timing of peak abundance in more shaded sites, while warm-adapted species were not affected. Smaller species, associated with lower dispersal ability, were more phenologically sensitive to canopy cover than larger bodied species. These results highlight the importance of canopy cover within cities and its interaction with species' traits in mediating impact of urbanization on moth phenology in subtropical systems.</p>","PeriodicalId":11484,"journal":{"name":"Ecology","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ecy.4489","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142760179","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Dominant species stabilize pollination services through response diversity, but not cross-scale redundancy","authors":"Mark A. Genung,&nbsp;Rachael Winfree","doi":"10.1002/ecy.4481","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ecy.4481","url":null,"abstract":"<p>Substantial evidence suggests that biodiversity can stabilize ecosystem function, but how it does this is less clear. In very general terms, the hypothesis is that biodiversity stabilizes function because having more species increases the role of compensatory dynamics, which occur when species in a community show different responses to the environment. Here, we focus on two forms of compensatory dynamics, cross-scale redundancy (CSR) and response diversity (RD). CSR occurs when species respond to a disturbance at different scales such that scale-specific disturbances do not negatively affect all species. RD occurs when species contributing to the same function show different responses to an environmental change. We developed a new analytical approach that can compare the strength of CSR and RD in the same dataset and used it to study native bee pollination of blueberry at 16 farms that varied in surrounding agricultural land use. We then asked whether CSR and RD among bee species are associated with the stability of blueberry pollination. Although CSR and RD were both present, only RD was associated with higher stability of pollination. Furthermore, the effects of RD on stability were due to a single widespread species, <i>Andrena bradleyi</i>, that is a specialist on blueberry and, unlike other bee species, was highly abundant at farms surrounded by intensive blueberry agriculture. Thus, the stabilizing effect we observed was attributable to an “identity effect” more than to species richness per se. Our results demonstrate how CSR and RD can be empirically measured and compared and highlight how the theoretical expectations of the biodiversity–ecosystem functioning field are not always upheld when confronted with real-world data.</p>","PeriodicalId":11484,"journal":{"name":"Ecology","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142752519","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Originally regarded as a single species, Bourne and Warham (&lt;span&gt;1966&lt;/span&gt;) described two different species on the basis of differences in both morphology (i.e., the color of the endplate of the bill) and behavior (i.e., the breeding timing): the Northern Giant Petrel with a dark red bill tip and a breeding season starting earlier (&lt;i&gt;Macronectes halli&lt;/i&gt;, hereafter northern petrel) and the Southern Giant Petrel with a pale green bill tip (&lt;i&gt;Macronectes giganteus&lt;/i&gt;, hereafter southern petrel). Despite these slight differences, both species show remarkable similarities such as their feeding behavior (González-Solís et al., &lt;span&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;). On land, giant petrels are mainly scavengers (Ridoux, &lt;span&gt;1994&lt;/span&gt;) but are also fierce predators attacking various prey such as fur seal pups, penguin, and albatross chicks and even adults (Dilley et al., &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;; Horswill et al., &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;; Nagel et al., &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Risi et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;; Ryan et al., &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;). Such an opportunistic feeding repertoire, from scavenging to predation, seems particularly conducive to cannibalism, that is the act of killing and consuming a conspecific (Fouilloux et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;), which is an even more likely behavior for a colonial species that breeds in loose aggregations (Voisin, &lt;span&gt;1988&lt;/span&gt;). Recently, Grohmann Finger et al. (&lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) reported the first case of cannibalism in southern petrels with direct predation of chicks at the South Shetland Islands. It seems then highly probable that northern petrels demonstrate a similar cannibalistic behavior. However, no other observation can be found in the literature, and there is no record of this behavior for northern petrels.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Possession Island (46°25′ S, 51°45′ E, 146 km&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;) is a sub-Antarctic island located in the Crozet archipelago in the Southern Indian Ocean. Giant petrels form in loose colonies located all around the island and breed on relatively flat areas with tussock or against rocky ridges (Voisin, &lt;span&gt;1988&lt;/span&gt;). Based on the last population census, there exist ~220 pairs of southern petrels and ~490 pairs of northern petrels on the island (Delord et al., &lt;span&gt;2008&lt;/span&gt;; CEBC-CNRS, Project 109, IPEV, unpublished data). The valley of Petit Caporal (46°21.5′ S, 51°46.2′ E) hosts one of the smallest colonies in the north of the island, with less than 30 breeding pairs of northern petrels per year.

We used an age- and sex-structured logistic growth model to project population sizes to 2060. Under the 1983–2015 demographic profile, the projected size was 500 individuals, but this dropped to 200 when including the abrupt change. Although the abrupt decline coincided with the end of a 2-year drought and a yellow fever outbreak, we found no statistical effects of climate or disease on the continued population decline after 2016. However, the lower projected carrying capacity for muriquis is consistent with reduced forest productivity and increased predator pressures.

To test this, we used a camera trap array in the Serengeti National Park to quantify changes in the relative preference for burned patches of seven ruminant herbivore species. We compared observed patterns to simulation results from a grass production-herbivore patch selection model. Burn preference and herbivore body size scaled negatively for 6 months after fire, but this relationship disappeared after 7 months when smaller species stopped selecting burns, and larger herbivores selected burns after 10 months, in a reversal of classic grazer succession.

The Yellow Sea crossing, averaging 14.1 h (Appendix S1: Table S1), is perhaps the most challenging part of their migration. The southwest coast of the Yellow Sea, crucial for migratory birds, hosts the world's largest concentration of operational offshore wind farms. In 2021, driven by the government's year-end deadline for receiving subsidies for offshore wind energy generation, a surge in installations occurred in China. The surge resulted in China possessing nearly half of the world's total offshore wind energy capacity (Global Wind Energy Council, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). While the barrier effect, which impedes the natural movement of wildlife, caused by individual offshore wind farms is generally considered marginal for nonmarine bird species compared with seabirds (Fox et al., &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;; Masden et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;; Masden et al., &lt;span&gt;2010&lt;/span&gt;; Pettersson, &lt;span&gt;2005&lt;/span&gt;), the cumulative effects of multiple wind farms may be substantial.

M03 flew mainly at the height of the blade rotation zone (see details in Appendix S1). After passing through the two wind farms, it altered its direction and headed north. After dusk, M03 encountered a third wind farm, where it spent 1.0 h circling before departing and reversing its path back to South Korea. It then flew a distance of 376.8 km, landing in the middle of the night on 2021-11-08 on the rocky shore of Hatae Island, around 110 km west of the Korean Peninsula. Notably, this trip recorded the second longest continuous flight among all the other 38 Yellow Sea crossing tracks collected in the study, with a duration of 21.9 h (Appendix S1: Table S1).
