High levels of seed dispersal by a declining wintering population of migratory geese
Abstract Ducks are known to be important seed dispersers, but the role of geese in plant dispersal is less clear. Wintering populations of migratory geese are undergoing rapid changes in distribution and habitat use in response to climate change and changes in land use, and the implications for seed dispersal have not previously been studied.

Biological proxy analyses, element composition, and stable isotope ratios at the Lower Palaeolithic locality of Schöningen provide evidence for repeated variations in climate, hydrology and catchment vegetation cover during MIS 9. Quantitative temperature reconstructions with the Mutual Ostracod Temperature Range method show colder winter temperatures ...

SUMMARY The conquest of land posed severe problems to plants which they had to cope with by adapting biosynthetic capacities. Adaptations to respond to UV irradiation, water loss, pathogen and herbivore defense, and the earth's pull were essential. Chemical compounds alleviating these problems can be synthesized by the phenylpropanoid pathway, the core

Offshore wind farm datasets record the response of low‐relief coastal landscapes to rising sea levels in the past. The maps show evidence of former terrestrial peatlands, preserved offshore, prior to being covered by the modern North Sea. Abstract Low‐relief coastal landscapes are at major risk of rising sea levels, as vertical changes in relative sea ...

Interactions between stoneworts (Charales) and waterbirds
ABSTRACT Stoneworts (Charales) are green algae that represent an important food resource for many waterbird species in Europe and elsewhere. Browsing avian herbivores (e.g. swan, goose, duck and coot species) consume Charales plant vegetative parts, by head‐dipping, up‐ending or diving.

The diversity and coevolution of Rubisco and CO2 concentrating mechanisms in marine macrophytes
Summary The kinetic properties of Rubisco, the most important carbon‐fixing enzyme, have been assessed in a small fraction of the estimated existing biodiversity of photosynthetic organisms. Until recently, one of the most significant gaps of knowledge in Rubisco kinetics was marine macrophytes, an ecologically relevant group including brown ...

ABSTRACT The Early to Mid‐Holocene experienced marked climate change over the northern hemisphere mid‐latitudes in response to changing insolation and declining ice volume. Oxygen isotopes from lake sediments provide a valuable climate proxy, encoding information regarding temperature, hydroclimate and moisture source. We present oxygen‐isotope records
