The paper introduces MoveTraits, a database integrating animal behavior into trait-based ecology by standardizing movement traits from biologging data to improve global change predictions and biodiversity assessments.

The paper estimates that seed-dispersal interactions in tropical forests take about 18 years to recover functionally after deforestation.

The paper shows acoustic indices can predict recovery of tropical bird communities, including taxonomic, functional, and phylogenetic composition, using audio recordings and Hill numbers analysis.

The paper introduces a large-scale chronosequence in the Ecuadorian Choco to study forest recovery, finding that forest structure, biomass, and species richness increase with regeneration time and approach old-growth levels after decades to centuries.

The paper estimates spatial variation in food-web interaction strengths using a Bayesian framework and finds that species within the same genus show positive spatial association rather than substitution.
