It is causing intense deforestation to make way for cattle ranching and monocultures such as oil palm. Forest loss can alter the distribution and population size of rare species, which are often limited in number or range, affecting the functional structure of communities and the ecosystem services they provide. Here, we assessed the contribution of rare and common species to the functional diversity of forest bird communities in a landscape dominated by oil palm plantations. We sampled birds in plantations and forest fragments in the eastern Amazon, Brazil. A total of 232 bird species were recorded, 198 in the fragments and 53 in the plantations. We calculated a rarity index for each species occurring in forest fragments, combining local abundance, geographic range, and habitat specificity. We calculated functional richness (FRic), functional originality (FOri), functional specialization (FSpe), and community-weighted trait means (CWM), and then compared these metrics between forest and plantation communities across three scenarios: 1) total species <em>pool</em> recorded in forest <em>versus</em> plantation, 2) removal of the rarest species, and 3) removal of common species. Removal of rare species increased functional diversity but decreased functional redundancy. Conversely, removal of common species decreased FOri and FSpe values, demonstrating that common forest bird species make unique functional contributions. We conclude that the loss of both rare and common species affects forest bird communities. Therefore, conservation and protection of forested areas is essential to ensure ecosystem health and resilience.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oecologica-International Journal of Ecology","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104060"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143096545","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

Understanding the role of different drivers in current patterns of carbon stock and uptake is critical to predicting tropical forest responses to environmental changes. That said, taxonomic identity and evolutionary relatedness among <em>taxa</em> may synthesize intrinsic functional characteristics and provide insight into these patterns. Here we investigated the main ecological drivers (taxonomic vs. environmental effects) and the evolutionary legacy on the expression of two important variables: carbon stock and carbon uptake. The dataset used are composed by tropical forests sites located in the southeast of Brazil along a climatic gradient including evergreen forests, semideciduous forests and deciduous forests. Relying on forest inventory data from 30 tropical forest sites (33.86 ha), we calculated individual tree carbon stocks and obtained two variables at the population level (species <em>per</em> site): average carbon stock (ton/ha) and average carbon uptake (ton/ha/year). These variables were used joint to phylogenetic trees and analysis to evaluate the main factors explained the variables variation and the evolutionary fingerprint on them. Variations in carbon stock and uptake by individual trees were mostly determined by taxonomic identity (28.7% and 26.7%, respectively) rather than environmental factors (7.1% and 8.9%, respectively), but evolutionary relatedness did not predict similarity among species. Our results indicate that the ability of species to store and absorb carbon depend on their intrinsic characteristics, although these are not shared among closely related <em>taxa</em>. Climate projections predict the loss of species unable to adapt to novel conditions, which, in light of our results, could impact tropical carbon dynamics. Although evolutionary relatedness does not predict similarity in terms of function at the scale of our study (suggesting lability of traits related to carbon storage), species losses indicate that environmental changes are beyond species’ ability to adapt to changes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oecologica-International Journal of Ecology","volume":"126 ","pages":"Article 104065"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143421113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

One of the basic questions in urban ecology is if ecological processes that occur in natural conditions also occur in urban environments. In natural ecosystems, key predators can limit prey abundance and have a widespread effect on trophic levels. Here, we examine a predator-prey interaction in Mexico City, an urban ecosystem where prey can be evaluated in the presence or absence of apex predators. Nearly all original ecosystems in Mexico City have been transformed for human purposes. Many of the green spaces in the city contain populations of the Mexican gray squirrel, a species native to this area. These green spaces are also inhabited by different species of raptors, the most frequent being Harris's hawk, Cooper's hawk, and sharp-shinned hawk. Little is known about the interactions between raptors and squirrels, particularly how different environmental factors influence this ecological relationship. We do know, however, that raptors prey on squirrels. We predicted that in parks where raptors were present, there would be fewer squirrels than in parks where there were no raptors. We studied the relationship between raptors and squirrels using occupancy models, which also allowed us to evaluate environmental factors that affect the presence of both squirrels and raptors. We also tested if the presence of raptors influenced the occupancy probability of squirrels, and vice versa. Lastly, we estimated the abundance of squirrels in parks, both where raptors were present and where they were absent. Contrary to our predictions, in our first two sampling periods we found a positive relationship between the presence of raptors and squirrel abundance, but this relationship was absent during our second two survey periods, which was due to a decline in squirrel abundance in parks where raptors were present. These results suggest that predator-prey interactions occur in urban settings much as they do under natural conditions, but that other factors unique to urbanization can also impact the abundance of raptors and squirrels. Our findings also suggest that raptors might be an effective means of controlling squirrel populations under some conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55564,"journal":{"name":"Acta Oecologica-International Journal of Ecology","volume":"125 ","pages":"Article 104034"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142319727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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}

This will be achieved by outlining a working hypothesis of the most important factors that regulate the stability and resilience of semi-natural heathland ecosystems. At the center of the proposed hypothesis is the amount of nitrogen in the soil that is available for plant growth and how the nitrogen-cycling pathway is formed by dominant species of heathland ecosystems. Furthermore, we will discuss possible ways to quantify semi-natural ecosystem resilience and suggest a research program that would allow us to test the outlined working hypothesis in semi-natural ecosystems and provide quantitative information for making ecological predictions on heathland stability and resilience. This investigation has direct consequences for how heathland conservation may be planned in a way that protects both resilience, structure, function and the characteristic species of heathlands.

We investigated changes in the pattern between the breeding and wintering seasons using field and literature surveys in Mount Tsukuba (877 m a.s.l.), central Japan. Temperatures at the middle elevations of the slope are relatively higher than those at the foot of the mountain in winter. The mountain is covered with forests up to its summit.
