From understory to canopy: transmission of frog calls in a tropical wet forest | Authorea
To attract mates, organisms relying on advertisement signals must encode relevant information and transmit it to target receivers, yet the effectiveness of this process is mediated by the environment....

Species interactions form complex networks. This #ProcB study introduces “hypermodules”, groups of species connected across different interaction types, revealing a common structure that could improve predictions of how disturbances cascade through ecosystems doi.org/10.1098/rspb... | #Ecology

Vertical distribution of prey and vegetation structure shape bat and ground-dwelling mammal activity in a temperate forest | Authorea
Vertical structural complexity shapes resource availability throughout forest ecosystems. However, how mobile consumers respond to this variation across the vertical profile remains poorly understood,...

Females and predatory bats appear to integrate water ripples produced by calls, but do they care about swat ripples? That is, could attacks by the frog-biting midge create effects that cascade throughout the communication network, and shift relative male fitness? Photo by @kathglz.bsky.social

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Had a great time at #ABS2025! Met with old and new friends. Learned a lot about the importance of collaborations at all levels of our career path and how important is to show up and share our own experiences. I will be sharing more of my work in animal communication in tropical forests 🌳🐸
