Dylan Gomes: How the acoustic environment shapes spider abundance and behaviour

Dylan Gomes, a Ph.D. candidate at Boise State University, explains to us how the sounds of water affect spider abundance and behaviour in the recently accepted article, “Phantom river noise alters orb-weaving spider abundance, web size, and prey capture”, and discusses the need for more acoustic research in the field of ecology. What’s your paper about? Our paper highlights the importance of the natural acoustic … Continue reading Dylan Gomes: How the acoustic environment shapes spider abundance and behaviour

Brian Gerber: Sage grouse and site-fidelity: moving beyond the win-stay:lose-switch rule.

Dr. Brian D. Gerber is an assistant professor at the University of Rhode Island in the department of Natural Resources Science (Lab Website, Google Scholar, ResearchGate). He focuses on understanding behavioral, population, and community ecology to conserve and manage wild animals. In this insight, Dr. Gerber discusses the background of the paper, “Extreme site fidelity as an optimal strategy in an unpredictable and homogeneous environment” … Continue reading Brian Gerber: Sage grouse and site-fidelity: moving beyond the win-stay:lose-switch rule.
