The importance of animal behavior for services

Animal behavior plays a critical role in the delivery of ecosystem services, yet the study of animal behavior and ecosystem services rarely intersect. The study of behavior-mediated ecosystem services should be prioritized, focusing on the conditions that allow these critical behaviors to persist and adapt to global change.

Automated summary

Animal behavior is vital for ecosystem services, but research on animal behavior and ecosystem services rarely overlap. The study of behavior-mediated ecosystem services needs more attention, focusing on the factors that enable these crucial behaviors to persist and adapt to global change.
