Alternative seed trait strategies are linked to a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3073-3085, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Seed dispersal allows plants to seek favourable conditions or spread the risk of unfavourable conditions through space and time. While theory predicts a trade‐off between spatial and temporal dispersal, empirical tests have been stymied by the difficulty of measuring ...

Intraspecific variability rivals interspecific differences in root traits of temperate tree seedlings

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3114-3132, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Global change and associated disturbances are increasing the risk of regeneration failure for tree species in temperate forests. Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to water stress due to their shallow root systems, making below‐ground plasticity a potentially key ...

How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3213-3224, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Stem water content predicts drought‐induced mortality in tropical semiarid species

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 10, Page 3318-3331, October 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hydraulic Failure is one of the primary mechanisms underlying plant mortality during drought. Hydraulic failure occurs when the plant's xylem, under water stress, crosses a critical percentage of loss of xylem hydraulic conductivity (PLC) threshold, which causes the ...

Optimising daily sampling of plant–bee interaction networks

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 10, Page 1903-1918, October 2026.
Daily variation in ecological interaction networks is rarely quantified due to limited temporal sampling, yet network structure may change substantially within a single day. We show that plant–bee networks exhibit strong intraday shifts in composition and structure, and that sampling distributed across key daily periods better captures network ...
