Species identity and spatial scale drive context‑dependent tree diversity effects in a Finnish forest experiment

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Tree species diversity is known to affect tree growth and leaf traits, which in turn can influence various ecosystem processes. However, the reported direction of these tree diversity effects is inconsistent, indicating that their outcomes depend strongly on ecological context.

Matching habitat choice could be brightness‐based instead of hue‐based in green‐brown polymorphic grasshoppers

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...
