Vegetation structure linked to nest site selection and nest survival of northern bobwhite

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We attempt to accurately quantify vegetative characteristics that promote nest success of Northern Bobwhites in the Rolling Plains of Texas. A higher proportion of grass and greater visual obstruction were associated with greater nest survival. Similarly, greater visual obstruction and less litter cover in the area surrounding a nest also corresponded ...

Landscape diversity can promote functional diversity of spider assemblages while habitat characteristics filter for specific traits

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Agricultural landscape simplification due to the loss of semi‐natural habitats can act as an environmental filter for species and their functional traits. Both local‐ and landscape‐level factors can shape community structure; although through different mechanisms.

Intraspecific plant chemodiversity at plot level has contrasting effects on arthropod functional groups

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant chemistry mediates interactions between plants and their environment. While intraspecific chemodiversity at the individual plant level is well studied, the effects of chemodiversity at the plant community level on arthropod interactions need more attention.

Rooted disruptions: Below‐ground herbivory drives contrasting natural enemy foraging for hosts and prey

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although research on below‐ground multitrophic interactions has increased, comparative studies examining how root herbivores influence the foraging behaviour of different natural enemies—especially generalist predators—remains limited.

Nitrogen enrichment promotes isopods through reduced carbon and nitrogen stoichiometric mismatch with understorey plants

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As key detritivores and fungal grazers, terrestrial isopods (Isopoda: Oniscidea) play crucial roles in mediating ecosystem processes. Although nitrogen enrichment represents a major global change driver known to modify soil food webs, its long‐term effects on the ...
