Spatial co‐occurrence patterns are determined by environmental factors, such as food
availability or habitat characteristics and by biotic associations. When resources are limited …

Trophic niche partitioning is a mechanism that facilitates the coexistence of ecologically
similar species by sharing their resource use. However, detailed information of the trophic …

Territorial defence depends on highly interrelated factors such as food abundance and
conspecific density. We used Dupont's Lark Chersophilus duponti as a model species to …

Arthropod biomass is a key element in ecosystem functionality and a basic food item for
many species. It must be estimated through traditional costly field sampling, normally at just …

Open semi-natural ecosystems have been historically shaped by anthropogenic land-use,
and the abandonment or intensification of these activities implied a detrimental alteration of …

The co-occurrence of morphologically similar species may be enabled by differences in
resource use that limit the effects of interspecific competition, allowing coexistence. This …

Competition is a prominent mechanism driving population dynamics and structuring
community assemblage, which can be investigated by linking shifts in species' ecological …

Dispersal of individuals and gene flow are crucial aspects to maintain genetic diversity and
viability of populations, especially in the case of threatened species. Landscape composition …

Food availability plays a key role affecting almost every aspect of bird ecology, including bird
population, distribution, reproduction, and behavior. Understanding the functional …

Parental food provisioning is crucial for the growth and survival of offspring. Growth rate
depends on food quality and food supplied to offspring may differ from what adults use for …
