Trophic interactions, the consumption of one organism by another, move matter and energy through natural systems, influencing everything from individual organism health to how ecosystems function. Therefore, finding general patterns in foraging decisions is paramount to understanding and, ultimately, preserving and restoring natural habitats and the services they provide. Ecologists have …
Abstract of the Activity Plan 1:Although ecologists have traditionally focused on understanding biodiversity patterns in environments with minimal human impact, cities host a complex web of ecological interactions that shape the functioning of urban ecosystems. Many non-human animals in cities interact with human-provided food resources, whether intentionally or unintentionally. While the…
Cities are complex systems shaped by interactions between social and natural processes. A prevalent property of metropolises is the uneven geographical distribution of income and resources, creating a mosaic of socioeconomic realms. The implications of this socioeconomic inequality spread well beyond aspects of human society, having a largely unexplored potential to shape the ecology and …
Climate change and biodiversity loss are pervasive anthropogenic causes of changes in the structure and functioning of ecosystems. Climate change alters biodiversity directly by affecting individual physiological traits and indirectly via interactions between organisms. However, although these effects on biodiversity are unequivocal, little is known about their consequences on multitrophi…
Generalist consumers face the challenge of obtaining the nutrients they need for their functioning from diverse resource sources. This challenge is heightened in urban ecosystems, where many synanthropic animals include human food in their diets. Ants are common generalist consumers in cities worldwide; however, surprisingly, we still know relatively little about their foraging patterns i…
Although biologists have historically focused on studying biodiversity in natural environments, from an ecological perspective, the interior of homes constitutes a complex ecosystem capable of harboring a vast diversity of life forms. This domestic biodiversity results from community assembly processes operating at different spatial scales. On one hand, socioeconomic inequality in metropo…
Exotic species are ¿among the ¿primary causes of global biodiversity loss. In ¿urban areas, the ¿challenge of biological invasions becomes even more complex, ¿impacting the functioning of urban ecosystems and ¿posing public health issues. Investigating how invasive organisms exploit resources in heterogeneous urban landscapes is essential ¿for understanding how exotic species establish an…

Habitat fragmentation is one of the main causes of biodiversity loss in tropical regions. Understanding biodiversity patterns and how to conserve them in fragmented landscapes requires knowledge not only of the internal dynamics of habitat patches but also of the surrounding matrices. Atlantic Forest fragments are often surrounded by matrices composed of a complex mosaic of land uses. A n…

The multidimensional concept of niche has permeated most of theories in ecology. However, theory and empirical studies on individual niche specialization still rely on one-dimensional approaches to understand the causes and consequences of intraspecific ecological diversity in natural communities. In this proposal we aim to conciliate the classic multidimensional niche concept with the em…
How similar species coexist in nature has intrigued ecologists by more then half-century. Recently, this field has received important theoretical contributions, outstandingly the idea that not only niche differences determine the output of species coexistence, but also the magnitude of average fitness dissimilarities. However, the modern coexistence framework still neglecting the intraspe…
