Our hummingbird torpor transcriptomics paper is up on @biorxivpreprint ! It started with me wondering, how is a hummingbird in torpor at 5-18°C, functioning at 5-30% of its normal metabolism, still alive?

I’m really proud about this MS. The first one of an Ecuadorian student enrolled in an Ecuadorian PhD program in an Ecology related field, my first one as PhD advisor. Bryan found that niche overlap in hummingbird communities increased when more species were added to communities.

Thrilled to share that my paper is now published in Ecology and Evolution! We explore how hummingbirds mediate indirect interactions among plants, and how floral traits shape these connections. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Floral Roles in Hummingbirds‐Mediated Indirect Plant Interactions in Tropical Andean Communities

Hummingbirds connect plants by moving pollen. Some flowers primarily donate, while, others primarily receive, and these shifting roles influence plant reproductive success depending on abundance and...

In this MS we explored if plants place pollen in different parts of a hummingbird's body and increase niche partitioning. Answer: Yes! This helps to explain coexistence patterns among co-flowering plants that share pollinators. Congrats @arteagawilliam9 journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

Plants partition the pollinator niche by depositing pollen on different parts of the pollinator body

Niche partitioning of pollinators promotes the maintenance of high plant diversity in tropical environments. The role of animal pollinators in this partitioning has been evaluated predominantly at...
