No seasonal curtailment of the Eurasian Skylark's (Alauda arvensis) breeding season in German heterogeneous farmland. [PDF]
Dense‐growing crop vegetation in modern farmland is thought to curtail the potential time for breeding of Eurasian Skylarks (Alauda arvensis), thus contributing to the dramatic population decline in Skylarks in Europe. Contradicting this, we found no time constraints for successful reproduction in our Central European study population after following ...

Abstract Oak regeneration and the expansion of forested sites in Eurasia rely on acorn dispersal by animals, especially the Eurasian jay (Garrulus glandarius). However, in open agroforestry systems where jays are absent, such as old fields far from acorn sources, oak recruitment still occurs.

Tricky to track: comparing different tagging methods for tracing beechnut dispersal by small mammals
Abstract Seed hoarding animals may distinctly impact individual fitness of plants as well as plant community dynamics in terms of differential seed consumption and seed dispersal. Addressing methodological challenges and constraints in understanding the role of seed dispersal mutualisms, we tested different seed tagging methods for relatively small ...
