Low abundance of phytophagous nematodes under invasive exotic Pinus elliottii – enemy release and plant–soil feedbacks

New Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 6, Page 3060-3071, March 2026.
Summary According to the enemy release hypothesis (ERH), the fitness of exotic plants and their capacity to become invasive in their area of introduction may partly be attributable to the loss of their natural enemies. Invasive species may also benefit from modifying soil attributes and thereby creating a positive soil–plant feedback.

Species functional traits affect regional and local dominance across western Amazonian forests

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 1, January 2026.
Dominant tree species in western Amazonian forests show distinct functional trait combinations linked to habitat type: conservative traits in stressful habitats and greater plant size in less stressful environments. Local dominants are defined by resource conservation strategies and widespread dominants are defined by resource acquisition strategies. A

Almost Seven Decades of Coastal Bird Community Recovery Across Three European Seas

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study examined long‐term trends in coastal bird communities across three European seas from 1957 to 2024. We found that bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, although these improvements vary among regions and sites. Protected areas—particularly strictly protected ones—play an important role in supporting these recoveries, but ...

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests

American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.
Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...
