Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1221-1232, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1270-1285, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Foraging plasticity and physiological adaptations enable hummingbirds to subsist on dilute nectars

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1475-1490, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Hummingbirds frequently feed on small volumes (<30 μL) of sucrose‐rich nectars. Climate change is expected to affect both the abundance and the concentrations of accumulated nectar.

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

fastbioclim: An R package for creating custom‐time bioclimatic and derived environmental summary variables

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1585-1594, May 2026.
Abstract Bioclimatic variables, widely used in ecological and biogeographical studies, are typically derived from 30‐year averages of monthly data (e.g. 1971–2000). Unfortunately, the use of these long‐term averaged variables often creates a temporal mismatch with the observational data collected, which potentially undermines how environmental ...
