It's been 22 years since we went to our first #ESA conference together, and today she's the President. #ESA2026 @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social

SLC has left its mark on us. 🌵✨ #ESA2026 was an incredible week of energy, exchange, and connection. Safe travels home to everyone heading back to labs, universities, and organizations. Watch for a wrap-up email soon and save the date, Toronto is next! 💙

Near rat-infested islands, coral reef food webs shift at the bottom: cryptobenthic fish and small invertebrates reach nearly equal biomass instead of fish outweighing invertebrates more than fivefold. doi.org/hccvrb

How invasive rats rewire coral reef food webs to create winners and losers

Invasive rats on tropical islands are creating winners and losers among the tiny underwater animals near the bottom of the food chain that inhabit surrounding coral reefs.

Small ants were observed reproducing inside coffee fruits after evicting coffee berry borers. The pest-made shelters may help boost ant populations while they protect coffee plants. doi.org/hccxhn

Small ants that evict coffee pests may gain reproductive boost while protecting crops

Ants are known allies in the fight against coffee pests known as coffee berry borers. Now, a discovery made by Jonathan "Jonno" Morris while he was a University of Michigan graduate student has revealed there may be a new dimension to this protection.

This one of the best papers of the year: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC.... We know virtually nothing about dispersal in bees. Amazing field work to answer this question.

Fat‐tailed dispersal shapes connectivity in a solitary bee

Dispersal—movement potentially leading to gene flow—is a fundamental ecological process yet notoriously difficult to measure. For solitary bees in particular, determining the spatial scale of dispersa...

How do species interactions and temperature interact to shape egg-to-adult viability in sub-tropical and tropical #Drosophila species? Vanessa Kellerman Carla Sgro and co-authors found the presence of other species tended to negatively impact egg-to-adult viability. doi.org/10.1002/ecy....

Species interactions shape the thermal performance curve and distribution of tropical <fi>Drosophila</fi> species

Decades of research have demonstrated the importance of temperature in dictating species distributional limits. We know species interactions also play a key role, but we lack a predictive framework f....

Up to half of Edmonton’s coyotes carry a tapeworm that causes an often fatal disease in humans. As unhoused people increasingly shelter in green spaces, overlap with wildlife can raise exposure through shared areas and scat. doi.org/hcbqhc

Unhoused people and wildlife are increasingly coming into contact. Here's what can be done to protect them

As homelessness increases around the world, more unhoused people are turning to parks and other urban green spaces to seek shelter.
