of the body nor are neck wounds more likely to be fatal — even in females and maneless sub-adult males. Instead, the mane appears to indicate 'quality': males may lose their manes after being seriously injured, and dark-maned males have higher testosterone levels, are more likely to recover from physical injury and their offspring have better survival. Thus, mane length indicates recent fightin...

PYCNOIB: Biodiversity and Biogeography of Iberian Pycnogonids

Biodiversity and biogeographic studies comparing the distribution patterns of benthic marine organisms across the Iberian Atlantic and Mediterranean waters are scarce. The Pycnogonida (sea spiders) are a clear example of both endemicity and diversity, and are considered a key taxon to study and monitor biogeographic and biodiversity patterns. This is the first review that compiles data about ab...

Effects of Elevated CO2 on Litter Chemistry and Subsequent Invertebrate Detritivore Feeding Responses

Elevated atmospheric CO2 can change foliar tissue chemistry. This alters leaf litter palatability to macroinvertebrate detritivores with consequences for decomposition, nutrient turnover, and food-web structure. Currently there is no consensus on the link between CO2 enrichment, litter chemistry, and macroinvertebrate-mediated leaf decomposition. To identify any unifying mechanisms, we presente...

Influence of landscape characteristics on carnivore diversity and abundance in Mediterranean farmland

Predation is increasingly pointed out as one of the factors contributing to population declines of groundnesting farmland birds, though it remains poorly understood how ongoing transformations of agricultural landscapes affect predator assemblages. This study addressed this issue, estimating the contribution of landscape composition and configuration to spatial variation in species richness and...

Eco-evolutionary Biology: Feeding and Feedback Loops

A dogma in ecology and evolution holds that the environment is an extrinsic force that is not, in turn, shaped by the adaptive evolution of species. Recent work on stickleback life history, community ecology and speciation challenges this dogma.
