Shedding light on trophic interactions: A field experiment on the effect of human population between latitudes on herbivory and predation patterns

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023
This study tests how human pressure affects trophic interactions at different latitudes, being the first to demonstrate experimentally the opposite effects of human presence on trophic interactions between latitudes. Abstract Interactions between species within an ecosystem (e.g.

The mental health impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic and exposure to other potentially traumatic events up to old age

open access: yesJournal of Traumatic Stress, Volume 36, Issue 4, Page 738-749, August 2023., 2023
Abstract We investigated whether the impact of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) on trauma‐related symptoms changes across the transitional adult lifespan (i.e., 16–100 years old) and if this association differs for self‐reported COVID‐19–related PTEs compared to other PTEs.

‘Nobody taught her how to be a mother’: The lived experience of mothering without a mother

open access: yesInfant Mental Health Journal: Infancy and Early Childhood, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 554-571, July 2023., 2023
Abstract Maternal grandmothers play a vital role in the transition to motherhood for their own daughters. The current study adds to this literature by investigating the lived experience of motherhood for women who lacked a meaningful relationship with their mothers.

Warming undermines emergence success in a threatened alpine stonefly: A multi‐trait perspective on vulnerability to climate change

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 4, Page 1033-1043, April 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Vulnerability to warming is often assessed using short‐term metrics such as the critical thermal maximum (CTMAX), which represents an organism's ability to survive extreme heat. However, the long‐term effects of sub‐lethal warming are an essential link to fitness in the

Functional diversity of experimental annual plant assemblages drives plant responses to biological soil crusts in gypsum systems

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 3, Page 488-503, March 2023., 2023
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Biological soil crusts (BSC) are complex biotic aggregates comprised of lichens, cyanobacteria, algae and other micro‐organism that are known to differently affect plant development along life cycle by selecting plant functional traits based on species‐specific effects.

Report of the Scientific Committee of the Spanish Agency for Food Safety and Nutrition (AESAN) on sustainable dietary and physical activity recommendations for the Spanish population

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2023., 2023
Abstract Dietary recommendations are developed from the best available scientific evidence on the effect of nutrients and food on health. These recommendations take into account that the effect of food depends not only on its nutritional content but also on the matrix in which is ingested, the alterations during the culinary process, the presence of ...

Standardised empirical dispersal kernels emphasise the pervasiveness of long‐distance dispersal in European birds

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 1, Page 158-170, January 2023., 2023
Introducing a statistical framework to estimate standardised dispersal kernels from biased data. The authors found strong evidence that long‐distance dispersal is common among European breeding bird species and across life stages. Their dispersal estimates for 234 bird species can guide selecting appropriate dispersal kernels in range expansion studies

Effects of warming temperatures on germination responses and trade‐offs between seed traits in an alpine plant

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 62-76, January 2023., 2023
Our study shows the importance of growth conditions when evaluating the seed size versus number trade‐off. Stressful conditions, such as warmer temperatures, can restrain the ability of plants to reach optimal investment in reproduction, masking the trade‐off.

Rainy years counteract negative effects of drought on taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic diversity: Resilience in annual plant communities

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 2308-2320, October 2022., 2022
Our results provide important insights into the responses of semiarid annual plant communities under a climate change scenario. Experimental rain exclusion consistently decreased diversity (taxonomic and functional) but to a lesser extent than interannual rain patterns, that result in deep diversity losses during drought events but rapid recovery in ...

Variation of non‐structural carbohydrates across the fast–slow continuum in Amazon Forest canopy trees

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 36, Issue 2, Page 341-355, February 2022., 2022
A free Plain Language Summary can be found within the Supporting Information of this article. Abstract Tropical tree species span a range of life‐history strategies within a fast–slow continuum. The position of a species within this continuum is thought to reflect a negative relationship between growth and storage, with fast‐growing species allocating ...
