Structural stability of plant–pollinator interactions despite seasonal abundance of long‐tongued hawkmoths

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seasonal environmental cycles affect plant–pollinator interactions by altering plant phenology. Periods of low resource availability can filter pollinators and reduce the complexity of interaction networks, but the extent to which the functional morphology of pollinators influences such filtering remains unclear.

Forbs in Viking lands: the effect of disturbing dominant graminoids on recruitment in tundra grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Grasslands, by definition, are dominated by graminoids. Nevertheless, forbs also make up a substantial part of vascular plant diversity in grasslands and are important resources of mammalian herbivores. However, forb recruitment is constrained by successful dominant graminoids, limiting access to safe sites for germination.

Expert‐led priorities for a response diversity research agenda in ecology

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Response diversity describes variation in ecological responses to environmental change. Response diversity is expected to drive ecological stability since a wider variety of responses to one or more environmental factors should stabilise fluctuations of ecosystem functions. However, uptake of empirical response diversity research has been slow. Here we

When species are lost but functions persist: a trait‐based perspective on Wadden Sea bird diversity dynamics

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity faces several global threats and communities are likely to show complex delayed responses. Accurately measuring these lags is critical to properly understand diversity dynamics. Here, we investigated these delays with minimal data availability and found critical mismatches between the temporal dynamics of taxonomic and functional diversity
