Anyway, after seven(!) desc rejections, which is by far my record, we made it through in @oikosjournal.bsky.social. Thanks, Oikos, for appreciating the resolution over extent! ❤️

Our cover for November! 🧫

Rodríguez-Uña et al. (2025) reveal that trees can maintain water uptake during drought by drawing from deeper soil layers, but dry conditions reduce the diversity of their root-associated fungi—threatening vital ecosystem processes.

[1/5] Elephants shape forests by moving seeds, and carbon, across landscapes. 🌳🐘

But how consistent are their impacts across sites?

If you are an ecologist working with Generalized Distance Sampling models, give this a check. We assess the sample size needed for reliable performance, and give advice to optimize monitoring designs. @oikosjournal.bsky.social

We studied lizards from 12 Croatian islands and found substantial variation in their chemical signal profiles. Ecological factors didn’t explain it. Instead, divergence was best explained by non-adaptive processes 🦎🏝️ @oikosjournal.bsky.social nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

new pub out — Yosemite is a perfect (and picturesque) place to show how heterogeneity can shape species distributions and foraging patterns. Grateful to Yosemite NP, Levi & Sacks labs & @roguedogs.bsky.social for their collaboration 💗
A two row figure displaying the occupancy patterns of bobcats, cougars, coyotes, gray foxes, and martens (top row) in Yosemite and how canopy cover, heterogeneity in canopy cover, and topography/snowpack (bottom row) shaped these patterns of occurrence. A two panel figure diet patterns of bobcats, cougars, coyotes, gray foxes, and martens via composition of major prey groups detected through high-throughout sequencing (left figure) and how inter specific diets overlapped in niche space (right panel)
