LATEST ISSUE Volume 34,Issue 10Special Feature: Evolution and ecology of microbiomesOctober 2020 Journal OverviewA British Ecological Society journalFunctional Ecologypublishes high-impact papers that enable a mechanistic understanding of ecological pattern and process from the organismic to the ecosystem scale.Hunters versus Hunted: New perspectives on the physiological costs of survival at the top of the food chainGlobal biotic and abiotic threats are pushing large, apex carnivorous mammals into the functional role of mesopredator, but little is known about the physiological repercussions of this role downgrading from ultimate to penultimate predator. In inaugeral first Calow-Grace Review, the authors examine how such ecological role reversals alter the physiological processes associated with energy expenditure, and ultimately the cost of survival during peak performance.What are you actually measuring? A review of techniques that integrate the stress response on distinct timescalesIn this review, the authors provide information on 37 physiological and behavioural metrics that are commonly used to measure stress, especially in wild free‐living vertebrates, with a particular focus on which time‐scale they integrate stress.Convergent evolution of niche structure in Northeast Pacific kelp forestsIn this study, the authors make use of recent advances in our understanding of the phylogeny of kelps to investigate niche evolution in one of the most ecologically significant groups of benthic habitat‐forming organisms on the planet.Microbial rescue effects: How microbiomes can save hosts from extinctionIn this paper, part of the Special Feature: Evolution And Ecology of Microbiomes, the authors discuss the risks and rewards of incorporating microbial rescue into conservation strategies such as probiotics, assisted migration, and captive breeding. Detritus decorations as the extended phenotype deflect avian predator attack in an orb‐web spiderIn the present study, we investigated whether detritus decorations constructed by C. monticola spiders divert attacks of avian predators away from spiders. This paper shows that extended phenotypes beyond the body can divert avian predator attacks, and may therefore improve the fitness of animals. free accessCover Picture and Issue InformationPages: 2009-2011First Published:  7 October 2020 Abstract Using a new generation of high tech tags, like the SMART collar worn by this mountain lion (Photo Credit: Sebastian Kennerknecht/pumapix.com), scientists are discovering that the world is becoming an energetically challenging place to live for large carnivores, as discussed in Williams et al's Calow‐Grace Review, “Hunters versus Hunted: New perspectives on the energetic costs of survival at the top of the food chain” (Funct Ecol. 34: 2015‐2029, https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13649) If you are a BES member click here for instructions on how to access all BES journal content Note: you will be redirected to BES for access.
