Furthermore, most studies have failed to investigate the effects of habitat loss for taxa with contrasting life histories, potentially underestimating those impacts. Here, using an unprecedented sampling effort, we investigated the effects of forest amount on the diversity, composition and size structure of Amazonian terrestrial and aquatic insects. We sampled the insect fauna across Earth's largest man-made forest archipelago 36 years after impoundment (Balbina reservoir, Central Amazon, Brazil) using 236 sticky traps placed on forest islands, the open-water matrix and adjacent continuous forests. Using fivefold cross-validated computer vision models, we identified and measured 22,471 individual insects. To consider sampling bias on diversity estimation, we used individual-based rarefaction to partition diversity into components that explained community evenness and regional species pool size. We also applied coverage-based rarefaction to estimate changes in community composition, reducing potential bias. Low forest amount led to low dominance of terrestrial insects; conversely, it boosted populations of aquatic insects. We report similar effects of forest cover on regional species pool size of aquatic and terrestrial insects, highlighting the importance of large tracts of forest within the landscape to foster diverse communities. Large terrestrial insects were most likely to disperse across the inhospitable floodwater matrix compared to their smaller counterparts. Future studies should consider multi-taxa approaches to properly quantify impact estimates of land-use change on biodiversity, which can diverge widely depending on species life history traits. Generalizations and any target conservation action cannot be made without explicitly considering how forest cover can affect species depending on their life history traits.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144955115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

We analysed community functional roles among fish species that persisted, were extirpated or were newly established over 75 years (1940-2015) in 15 lakes in southwest China, using functional diversity indices and trait-based network analyses. While species extirpation rate increased strongly through time, earlier extirpations caused the greatest losses to novel functional diversity. Functional losses from native species extirpation were not compensated by NNS. Functional patterns of extirpations were mainly random or overdispersed, whereas invasions were almost always random species replacements. Synthesis and applications. Our findings highlight that the loss of distinctive functional diversity persists even when extirpation rates are low, due to the incomplete functional replacement of native species by NNS, which are typically functionally random relative to extirpated species. This underscores the importance of prioritizing the protection of functionally distinct species to preserve community integrity. Additionally, our use of trait-based network analysis provides a novel perspective for understanding the functional implications of species turnover, and could be a valuable tool for researchers and conservation practitioners to evaluate community assembly processes and functional structure dynamics.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144955127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Temporal niche partitioning has always been hypothesized as a key mechanism in maintaining species coexistence. By utilizing resources or habitats at different times, each species will occupy distinct ‘temporal niches’, thereby reducing overlap in resource use and the potential for competitive exclusion. However, to what extent temporal niche partitioning can explain coexistence remains contested, as increasing theoretical and experimental evidence finds weak contributions of such temporal mechanisms to community dynamics. In a recent study, Ekrem et al. (2025) shed new light on this debate by studying the complex life history of coexisting strains of the marine midge, <i>Clunio marinus</i>. Using mathematical models based on empirical processes, they found that the temporal differentiation of breeding phenology between strains does not always lead to coexistence. Instead, the first strain that emerges and breeds will benefit from a positive frequency dependence, leading to priority effects that promote the exclusion of other strains. These results highlight the nuanced role of temporal niche partitioning and related mechanisms in contributing to coexistence, emphasizing the importance of system-specific knowledge in considering the consequences of temporal differentiations in resource and habitat use.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":"94 10","pages":"1896-1899"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144873305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
