From metabolism to coexistence: Understanding animal movement and community dynamics through energy
To counteract ongoing biodiversity loss due to global change, we need a deeper understanding of when and how species coexist. Recent work has begun to uncover mechanistic links between species coexist...

Thrilled to share this labor of love led by Dr. Leonna Szangolies! The final chapter of her PhD, & a great example of how papers can keep collaborations alive across distance. Thanks to Drs. Florian Jeltsch & Lewis Halsey, bringing together expertise across these vast, often siloed areas of ecology.

Thanks so much, Mark! It’s so exciting see this out in the world, and I’m really proud to have contributed to the IBE collection 😁

We found that moderate fragmentation can buffer drought impacts—by easing competition and supporting energy storage across the landscape, leading to more similar energy balance among species.

A great example of how individual energy dynamics can reveal unexpected pathways to community resilience ⚡

Well done, Leonna Szangolies, for winning the 2024 Elton Prize in @animalecology.bsky.social!🏆 

Leonna’s research models how habitat fragmentation affects coexistence among species of different body sizes. 🐁
