Doubled-edged Dispersal! In the Anthropocene, animals disperse a lot of things. From seeds and nutrients, to pathogens and invasives. Our new paper discusses the need to balance trade-offs when both desirable and undesirable functions occur simultaneously www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our latest research reveals how the diet, phenology, and body size of birds shapes their release of key elements (C,N,P)—a first step toward quantifying how migration influences nutrient dynamics at stopover sites 🐦 @funecology.bsky.social besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New paper (OA) examining the elemental composition of birds! 🐦⚛︎ We find that evolutionary adaptations for flight underpin birds’ lower phosphorus content, while life-history differences drive substantial variation in birds' carbon and nitrogen content. royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

The evolutionary and ecological diversity of animals is often reflected in the elemental composition of their bodies. Despite decades of stoichiometric research, remarkably little is known about the e...
