The importance of habitat and microclimate on the functional and guild structure of canopy-dwelling beetle communities in subantarctic forest
Beetle species living in high-latitude forests may be sensitive to variations in habitat conditions and microclimate. We tested that the functional...

Influence of habitat heterogeneity on the elevational distribution and guild structure of birds in the Rajparian Wildlife Sanctuary, Kashmir Himalaya
The understanding of habitat preference and guild structure in the bird community will contribute significantly to the conservation and management of...

Habitat heterogeneity influences avian feeding guild composition in urban landscapes: evidence from Bhubaneswar, India
BackgroundHabitat heterogeneity clearly distinguished in terms of availability of food and habitat resources and landscape features (natural or...

The importance of patch shape at threshold occupancy: functional patch size within total habitat amount
The habitat amount hypothesis (HAH) stresses the importance of total patch amount over the size of individual patches in determining species richness...

Fish community structure and functional guild composition in a large tropical estuary (Vembanad Lake, India)
The fish guild structure of 96 fish species inhabiting the Vembanad Lake, an open, large, well-mixed coastal estuary along the south-west coast of...

Phosphorus amendment alters soil arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal functional guild compositions in a subtropical forest
PurposeNitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) amendments considerably influence fungal diversity and community composition in various ecosystems....

Significant effects of host dietary guild and phylogeny in wild lemur gut microbiomes
Mammals harbor diverse gut microbiomes (GMs) that perform critical functions for host health and fitness. Identifying factors associated with GM...

Fish diversity, composition, and guild structure influenced by the environmental drivers in a small temporarily closed tropical estuary from the western coast of India
Globally, small temporarily closed estuaries are the least considered for fisheries assessment and management due to a low scientific priority and...

Time activity budget and foraging behavior: important determinants of resource sharing and guild structure in wintering waterbirds
The main focus of this work was to study the use of freshwater wetlands by 12 waterbirds (4 resident species and 8 Palearctic migrant species) during...

Influence of habitat fragmentation and habitat amount on soil fungi communities in ancient forests
ContextFungi represent a large part of soil biodiversity as well as an essential role for tree hydromineral nutrition, survival, and carbon cycling....

Diversity, status and guild structure of the avifauna in the Ajodhya Foothills, Baghmundi, Purulia, West Bengal, India
Avifaunal diversity acts as an important indicator to evaluate different habitats both quantitatively and qualitatively. Avian species diversity of...

Assessing habitat selection of the vulnerable Asian small-clawed otters in an anthropized riparian forest of eastern Bangladesh
The Asian small-clawed otter ( Aonyx cinereus ) is a globally vulnerable mesopredator endemic to South and Southeast Asia. This species is one of the...

Ant habitat-use guilds response to forest-pasture shifting in the southwestern Amazon
Ant assemblages have been used as bioindicators of biodiversity response to different types of anthropogenic disturbances. However, usual diversity...

Global investigation of lake habitat coupling by fishes
Habitat coupling, where consumers acquire resources from different habitats, plays an important role in ecosystem functioning. In this study, we...

Over 200,000 kilometers of free-flowing river habitat in Europe is altered due to impoundments
European rivers are disconnected by more than one million man-made barriers that physically limit aquatic species migration and contribute to...

Major changes in fish thermal habitat diversity in Canada’s Arctic lakes due to climate change
Climate warming is a major disruptor of fish community structure globally. We use large-scale geospatial analyses of 447,077 Canadian Arctic lakes to...

Fish community structure and functional guild composition in an anthropogenically impacted, temporarily closed sandbar estuary
This study investigates the fish assemblage in a temporarily-closed sandbar estuary along India’s west coast, across different zones and seasons....

Habitat structure and the presence of large carnivores shape the site use of an understudied small carnivore: caracal ecology in a miombo woodland
Basic ecological knowledge on African small carnivores and how they interact with the wider carnivore guild are lacking for many species. The caracal...

Habitat configurations shape the trophic and energetic dynamics of reef fishes in a tropical–temperate transition zone: implications under a warming future
Understanding the extent to which species’ traits mediate patterns of community assembly is key to predict the effect of natural and anthropogenic...
