Same damage, different story: Vertical decoupling of herbivore abundance and beech herbivory across forest layers

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study shows that the relationship between herbivore abundance and herbivory can be decoupled across vertical forest layers through resource dilution, challenging the assumption that more herbivores result in more per‐leaf damage. The effects of woody plant diversity and structure on beech herbivores depend on whether a stratum functions as a ...

Can late flushing trees avoid attack by moth larvae in temperate forests?

Plant Protection Science, 2018
We investigated moth larvae (Lepidoptera) developing in temperate forests in Central Europe shortly after the tree budburst (the "brumata-viridana complex").

Individual variation in reaction norms but no directional selection in reproductive plasticity of a wild passerine population

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
In the plant–insect–insectivorous bird food chain, directional changes in climate can result in mismatched phenology, potentially affecting selection pressures.

Cold Hardiness Dynamics and Spring Phenology: Climate-Driven Changes and New Molecular Insights Into Grapevine Adaptive Potential

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Climate change has become a topic of increasing significance in viticulture, severely challenged by this issue. Average global temperatures are increasing, but frost events, with a large variability depending on geographical locations, have been ...

Best environmental predictors of breeding phenology differ with elevation in a common woodland bird species

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Temperatures in mountain areas are increasing at a higher rate than the Northern Hemisphere land average, but how fauna may respond, in particular in terms of phenology, remains poorly understood.

Will It Survive? Evaluating the Effects of Damage and Silviculture on Tree Seedling Survival Using Multi‐State Models

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Plantations are the spearhead of adaptive silviculture, yet we do not understand how damage from abiotic and biotic agents relates to seedlings’ survival. In this study, we used multi‐state models, which originate from the medical field, to evaluate the relation between ‘damage history’, silvicultural treatments, and planted tree survival.

Network‐wide assessment of soil water content calibration and sensitivity to biomass proxies using cosmic‐ray neutron sensing in the Roaring Fork Basin, Colorado

Vadose Zone Journal, Volume 25, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
Abstract Soil water content (SWC) is a key state variable of the climate system but is often uncertain in water balance monitoring, especially in alpine environments. SWC measurements can be challenging in alpine environments due to the topography and rocky soils.

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...
