Long-term field studies help unveil mechanisms of grass soil seed bank (SSB) persistence
and resilience. We wonder whether grazing is a disruptive force that changes grass SSB …

Feeding flexibility is believed to reduce species vulnerability to local extinction associated
with environmental changes that cause food shortage, but to what extent such behavioural …

Although bird population declines associated with land degradation are common, the initial
response of organisms to rapid human-induced environmental change is usually behavioral …

1. Adaptive phenotypic plasticity has been a major subject in evolutionary ecology, but how
a species' behaviour may respond to certain environmental change is still not clear. In …

Food selection by foragers is sensitive to the availability of resources, which may vary along
geographical gradients. Hence, selectivity of food types by foragers is expected to track …

To understand how food resource use and partitioning by closely related species allows
local coexistence, it is key to determine whether a species' diet reflects food availability or …

Some species are severely affected by global change, whereas others can survive or even
thrive under the same circumstances. Species with more flexible behaviours can better cope …

The study of diet and its relationship with available resources allows us to evaluate how
species that differ in their degree of ecological flexibility respond to natural and …
