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

Oikos, 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

Seasonal variations in planktonic food web structure affect stability by shifting the distribution of energy fluxes

Oikos, EarlyView.
Seasonality in temperate ecosystems shapes species phenology, influencing interactions and food web structure. Variations in species richness and biomass affect trophic interaction strength, a crucial factor for community stability, which can be assessed through energy fluxes – an essential indicator of ecosystem function.

Predator density outweighs experimental warming effects on short‐term carbon and nitrogen loss from arctic shrub litter

Oikos, EarlyView.
Rapid climate change in the Arctic is altering biological communities and their subsequent effects on ecosystem functioning. For example, warming‐induced shrub expansion accelerates biogeochemical cycles in part by increasing high‐quality litter inputs.

Whole‐seedling trait adjustments of mountain birch under contrasting environmental conditions

Oikos, EarlyView.
Warming temperatures can promote arctic tree seedling establishment and growth, but these effects depend on the environmental context and the seedlings' capacity to acquire limiting resources. Here, we tested how temperature, soil properties, and the presence of a neighbouring shrub influence seedling growth rates.
