We are pleased to share that our book “ #RoadEcology: Synthesis and Perspectives ”, published by @springernature.com, is now online, with the full volume and all chapters available here: link.springer.com/book/10.1007... @ebdonana.bsky.social
The conflict between cetaceans and marine traffic goes viral
Vessels and marine species are, quite literally, on a collision course... and sometimes an image is worth a thousand words. Recently, Greenpeace has shared in Instagram at least a small reel depicting a blue whale trying to navigate…
Metawebs and the Geography of Interactions
From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is…
Moving “Ecological Niches” from species to interactions
Ecological Niche - The concept "Ecological niche" is on of the most used expressions in Ecological literature. But, what is it? What are we talking about when we talk about Ecological Niche? Would it be useful to define an ecological niche…

Conservation requires looking beyond Red Lists alone. Across European food webs, non-threatened species play a strong role in maintaining network connectivity. With @fmestre.bsky.social @vinibastazini.bsky.social @consbiog.bsky.social @mncn-csic.bsky.social

This book is the first to comprehensively present both the current state of knowledge and future directions in the emerging discipline of Road Ecology.
From Wallace to modern species distribution models, biodiversity science has become extraordinarily good at mapping life across the planet. However, a forest is not just trees, birds, fungi, and insects occupying the same coordinates on a map. It is pollination, predation, competition, parasitism, decomposition, seed dispersal, scavenging, facilitation, and countless flows of energy and matter connecting organisms into functioning ecological systems…
Roads promote different positive and negative effects on biodiversity, and consequently on species interactions (mutualism, predation, parasitism, competition, commensalism, and amensalism). Yet, such...
Conservation efforts have traditionally been focused on saving the rarest, most threatened species, and for good reason. But what if our singular focus on endangered species is causing us to overlo…
Aim Assess the structural importance of threatened and non-threatened species within European food webs by quantifying their roles in maintaining network connectivity. Location Europe. Methods W...
Ecological Niche - The concept "Ecological niche" is on of the most used expressions in Ecological literature. But, what is it? What are we talking about when we talk about Ecological Niche? Would it be useful to define an ecological niche for biotic interactions rather than for isolated species? I think so, considering that formalising such a concept would help us guide the ecological interpretation of the ecological context in which two species interact.
Vessels and marine species are, quite literally, on a collision course... and sometimes an image is worth a thousand words. Recently, Greenpeace has shared in Instagram at least a small reel depicting a blue whale trying to navigate heavy traffic in the Gulf od Ancud, Chile (the video was created by Luis Bedriñana-Romano, a researcher at the Austral University of Chile.
