Niches and community stability of dominant herbaceous species in the forest and creek ecotone of Dehang Geopark by LONG Ziyu, WANG Zhicheng, ZHAO Rui, LIU Bing, CHEN Gongxi

“…This indicates that the interspecific competition among dominant species in the herbaceous communities of the forest and creek ecotone is weak, and there is not a high degree of similarity in the demand for environmental resources. (2) The overall and interspecific associations of the herbaceous plants in the three streams are mainly characterized by non-significant negative connections, with relatively low interspecific connectivity, and are mostly independently distributed. (3) The community is currently in an unstable state, and the succession and development of the herbaceous community are influenced by both internal and external factors of the community. …”

How, why, where and when people feed birds?—Spatio‐temporal changes in bird‐feeding in Finland by Purabi Deshpande, Anna Haukka, Katja Rönkä, Tuomas Aivelo, Andrea Santangeli, Rose Thorogood, Aleksi Lehikoinen

“…While bird‐feeding can increase connections between people and nature, there are increasing calls from researchers and the general public to limit this activity due to emerging knowledge of potential negative ecological impacts (e.g. biased competition and spread of pathogens). However, what motivates changes in bird‐feeding habits remains largely unknown, despite the ‘provisioners’ perspective’ being critical for designing and implementing policy that benefits both animals and people. …”
