Leaf size in mosses is structurally constrained by cell dimensions and genome size. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)Cell size and midribs are the main mechanical determinants of moss leaf size, which itself depends on growth form and genome size; together, these relationships underpin key aspects of moss ecology and performance. Abstract Leaf anatomy is a key factor determining plant ecology.

The influence of leaf characteristics on epiphyllic cover : a test of hypotheses with artificial leaves [PDF]
, 1995 Studies of epiphyll ecology have been hindered by the biochemical and morphological variability of the leaf substrate. The use of artificial (plastic ribbon tape) leaves solved that problem in a study done at the Braulio Carrillo National Park, Costa ...

Brown Trout Abundance in Boreal Streams With Large Wood
Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 2, April 2026.ABSTRACT Large wood has been found to be a crucial component in riverine ecosystems. However, due to the heavy channelization of rivers and intensive forestry practices over the past few decades, the amount of large wood in these ecosystems has decreased worldwide. River restoration aims to mitigate the effects of channelization and restore the channel

Bryophytes as a material to build birds’ nests in Brazil.
Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica, 2017 Birds’ nests are elaborate constructions that are built to provide a safe and secure environment for the eggs and hatchlings of birds to develop. Twigs and leaves represent common nesting materials in birds’ nests globally and with their beaks, they can ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Climate change increases geomorphological disturbances, which in turn affect vegetation establishment in high‐elevation areas; understanding species' responses to such disturbances is essential. We analysed vegetation across disturbed and undisturbed alpine sites to identify environmental drivers and assess species trait plasticity.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Cyanobacteria are key components driving the formation and development of biological soil crusts in dryland ecosystems. Their community distribution differs significantly across stages of biocrust development. The presence of cyanobacteria influences variations in bacterial and fungal communities within biological soil crusts by regulating the ...

The influence of tree age and microhabitat quality on the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks [PDF]
, 2008 Questions: How do tree age, microhabitat characteristics and epiphytic competitors affect the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks? How do microhabitat characteristics and microclimate affect the cover of competitors (bryophytes and ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This systematic review of 107 studies on the factors behind the elevational range limits of alpine vascular plants shows a persistent emphasis on upper limits and abiotic factors, especially temperature, while work at lower limits is more evenly distributed across water availability, plant–plant interactions, and selection/local adaptation.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Spruce budworm epidemic induces tree mortality and modifies understory communities. Could aerial spraying of Btk reduce perturbations in understory communities? Biannual Btk spraying could prevent both wood loss and understory degradation. ABSTRACT Since 1985, more than 10 million hectares of Canadian forests have been treated against spruce budworm ...
