SFEG honorary PhD student Irene Piccini (University of Turin) defended her thesis (graded with honours!) on dung beetles. Congratulations!

Evidence piling on for stronger biotic interactions closer to the equator

How latitude affects biotic interactions Are biotic interactions, such as competition and predation, stronger in the tropics than at higher latitudes? Biologists have long speculated that more intense interactions tend to occur at lower rather than at higher latitudes as a result of year-round warm and wet conditions near the equator, part...
