Ectomycorrhizal fungi and root water uptake respond independently to water availability

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Temperate forests on their warm and dry distribution limits are expected to be most vulnerable to reductions in water availability. This prediction is mostly based on studies assessing single forest functions, mainly growth. Water and nutrient cycling are functions that rely on tree roots and their symbiotic association with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi.

Contrasting impacts of climbing plants on host tree reproduction in a drought‐stressed forest

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climbing plants, or climbers, are known to negatively affect the survival and reproduction of tropical and temperate humid forest trees through competition and structural parasitism. These impacts are attributed to their growth strategy, which relies on other plants for mechanical support and allows them to divert resources away from structural ...

Fly pollinator foraging in boreal forests is shaped by climate, forest structure and flower resources

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Most insect pollinators are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation. Forests, with their diverse canopy structures and sunlight penetration levels, create a mosaic of microclimates influencing these insects' behaviour.

Recruitment probability in a large carnivore: the role of biological and human‐related factors in early‐life

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To reach reproduction, individuals must survive the juvenile stage, a critical period of low survival rates in large carnivores. Early‐life conditions during this stage can have lasting effects on survival, reproductive maturation, growth, physiology and behaviour. We assessed recruitment probability in Scandinavian wolves, i.e.
