New preprint: Sources of prey availability data alter interpretation of outputs from prey choice null networks

Check out the new preprint led by Jordan: Sources of prey availability data alter interpretation of outputs from prey choice null networks! This is also FERG-co-supervised PhD student Ben Hawthorne’s first time authoring a publication! Massive congrats, Ben! Look out for the full paper in the coming weeks/months!

NEW PAPER: Temporal variation in spider trophic interactions is explained by the influence of weather on prey communities, web building and prey choice

This new paper uses multivariate analysis and null network models to investigate how weather impacts the prey communities, diet, foraging choices and web structures of spiders in cereal crops, and how these data could be used to inform predictive models.
