Early naturalists suggested that predation intensity increases toward the tropics, affecting fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes by latitude, but empirical support is still limited. Several studies have measured consumption rates across latitude at large scales, with variable results. Moreover, how affects prey community composition such geographic scales remains unknown. Using standardized experiments spanned 115° of 36 nearshore sites along both coasts Americas, we found...
Aims : Ecosystems of the Tropical Andes include plant communities above 4,000 m in elevation, associated with wetlands known as bofedales . To enhance our understanding them, we surveyed bofedal Peruvian Andes. Questions Which are most common communities, and what their main characteristics? Study area An east-to-west 68 km megatransect Ayacucho Huancavelica departments Peru, influence a gas pipeline. Methods We 127 (1 × 1 m) permanent plots annually between 2017 2019 to assess calculated...
