Range expansion can have profound ecological and evolutionary consequences that feedback on the expansion process itself. With global climate change causing widespread species range shifts to higher latitudes and altitudes, it is essential that we better understand these dynamics during native range expansion in the wild. In a recent study on poleward-spreading treefrogs (<i>Hyla cinerea</i>), Edwards et al.

They found that range-edge frogs had increased cold tolerance and longer legs associated with better dispersal, which could strongly affect the rate and geographic limits of expansion. Edwards et al. then show how species distribution models fit separately to the historic and expanded range more accurately predict habitat suitability near the historic range boundary.

Diel activity patterns are ubiquitous in living organisms and have received considerable research attention with advances in the collection of time-stamped data and the recognition that organisms may respond to global change via behaviour timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) provide a roadmap for analysing diel activity patterns with hierarchical models, specifically trigonometric generalized linear mixed-effect models and cyclic cubic spline generalized additive models. These methods are improvements over kernel density estimators, which for nearly two decades have been the status quo for analysing activity patterns. Kernel density estimators have several drawbacks; most notably, data are typically aggregated (e.g. across locations) to achieve sufficient sample sizes, and covariates cannot be incorporated to quantify the influence of environmental variables on activity timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) also provide a comprehensive tutorial which demonstrates how to format data, fit models, and interpret model predictions. We believe that hierarchical models will become indispensable tools for activity-timing research and envision the development of many extensions to the approaches described by Iannarilli et al.

Given the inherent context-dependence of colour perception, understanding how these colour-behaviour synergies function in a species' natural environment is crucial. For example, refuge-building species create a unique visual environment where most (or all) of the body is obscured unless closely inspected. How these built environments affect the perception of defensive colour patterns by predators is not well understood. Using artificial caterpillars that resemble a refuge-building species with conspicuous markings (Papilio troilus; Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), I tested the hypothesis that leaf rolls amplify the antipredator effect of this species' eyespots. I compared wild avian predation rates on 659 artificial swallowtail-like caterpillars from four treatment groups: eyespotted and non-eyespotted, and presented in leaf rolls or on open leaves of live host plants. In support of my hypothesis, eyespots only reduced predation for larvae in leaf rolls. On open leaves, eyespots had no antipredator effect. I also found that leaf rolls reduced predation in general for both eyespotted and non-eyespotted prey. These results highlight the importance of considering relevant behaviours in studies of animal coloration whenever possible, including behaviours that influence colour perception indirectly (e.g. through habitat use or modification).</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142894565","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}

H. (2024). Early social isolation disrupts adult personality expression in group-living mites. <i>Journal of Animal Ecology</i>. https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2656.14169. Personality traits in animals have been of great interest in the last decades. The number of studies demonstrating the existence of personality in a wide range of taxa is growing rapidly. Although the effect of early experience on later average values of behavioural traits is well documented, very few articles demonstrate the effects of those factors on personality expression itself. One factor in particular received very little, if not no, attention: social isolation. Although social isolation is known to have major impacts on later animal behaviour, it is still unknown whether it may favour or inhibit personality expression. In a recent study, Schausberger and Nguyen (2024) demonstrated that early-life social isolation had strong effects on adults of the predatory mite <i>Phytoseiulus persimilis</i>. They show for the first time that early social isolation decreased the expression of personality in the activity of adults when tested in a social context. Interestingly, they observed the opposite effect when the same mites were tested alone: previously isolated mites were highly repeatable but group-reared mites were not. Finally, they also show an indirect effect of early social isolation through mating: mating with a male who experienced social isolation increased the behavioural repeatability of females. This study not only reinforces the established understanding of personality but also paves the way for future research in the field.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":"94 1","pages":"7-10"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-12-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142780270","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}

As such, concepts are the backbone to theories in any science. Concepts and theories are related in that novel theories cannot emerge without the existence of the solid concepts that underpin them. Indeed, Einstein and Darwin would not have been able to put forward their respective theories of relativity (Einstein, &lt;span&gt;1918&lt;/span&gt;) and evolution (Darwin, &lt;span&gt;1859&lt;/span&gt;) without the concepts of ‘gravity’ and ‘natural selection’. Concepts are not necessarily empirically testable, while theories must be.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Concepts are particularly useful to investigate and understand ecological systems because nature is complex. The development of concepts has historically enabled ecologists to better understand the interactions between organisms and their environments, as well as their underlying mechanisms. Indeed, ecological concepts encapsulate key processes such as energy transfer (e.g. ‘energy flows’, Lindeman, &lt;span&gt;1942&lt;/span&gt;), self-regulation (e.g. ‘density dependence’, Nicholson &amp; Bailey, &lt;span&gt;1935&lt;/span&gt;), species interactions (e.g. ‘competition’, Volterra, &lt;span&gt;1927&lt;/span&gt;; ‘facilitation’, Clements, &lt;span&gt;1916&lt;/span&gt;), or evolutionary dynamics (e.g. ‘fast evolution’, Reznick et al., &lt;span&gt;1990&lt;/span&gt;; ‘eco-evolutionary dynamics’, Pelletier et al., &lt;span&gt;2009&lt;/span&gt;). By providing a consistent structure to study ecological systems, ecological concepts allow researchers to classify life history strategies (Stearns, &lt;span&gt;1983&lt;/span&gt;; Stott et al., &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;), predict behaviours (Hamilton, &lt;span&gt;1964&lt;/span&gt;), quantify the stability and resilience of systems (Van Meerbeek et al., &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;), or identify key drivers of biodiversity (Mac Arthur &amp; Wilson, &lt;span&gt;1970&lt;/span&gt;). These foundational concepts integrate biology, evolution, environmental sciences, and conservation, enabling us to address global challenges such as resource depletion, climate change and biodiversity loss.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;To further fuel the development and implementation of concepts in ecology, in 2020 &lt;i&gt;Journal of Animal Ecology&lt;/i&gt; added a seventh Article Type to its publishing portfolio: ‘Concepts’. The goal of Concept articles is to challenge existing paradigms or to introduce novel ideas that may guide the field of animal ecology in fresh directions and ultimately support more theory-driven research.
