(Conflict) principles of European (consumer) contract law : an update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
In April 2003 I commented on the European Commission’s Action Plan on a More Coherent European Contract Law [COM(2003) 68 final] and the Green Paper on the Modernisation of the 1980 Rome Convention [COM(2002) 654 final].1 While the main argument of that ...

Ontogenetic shifts in wood anatomy and leaf traits in tropical dry forests

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 2, Page 848-859, January 2026.
Summary Trees experience changes in environmental conditions and biophysical constraints as they grow that may lead to shifts in functional traits. While ontogenetic shifts in leaf traits are relatively well understood, changes in wood anatomy traits from seedlings to adults are less clear, especially in tropical dry forests where drought strongly ...

Density Dependence Promotes Species Coexistence and Provides a Unifying Explanation for Distinct Productivity–Diversity Relationships

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 12, December 2025.
We develop a mechanistic framework to understand how negative density dependence shapes diversity in complex communities. By modelling resource consumption and species interactions, we show that density‐dependent mortality expands coexistence zones and explains variable productivity–diversity relationships. A derived formula predicts species abundances

Wet Season Environments Drive Local Adaptation in the Timber Tree Dicorynia guianensis in French Guiana

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, gold mining and climate variability threatens these ecosystems. Sustainable rainforest management requires understanding the genetic diversity and

Habitat Conditions and Neighborhood Interactions Drive the Phylogenetic Structure of Seedling Assemblages in a Tropical Forest Mosaic

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
In poor, well‐drained sandy soils, we observed the coexistence of more closely related species, suggesting that shared evolutionary history influences which seedlings survive under these restrictive conditions. Contrary to expectations, flooded areas harbored more distantly related species, likely because pathogens and other natural enemies limit the ...

Tree Diversity and Carbon Stocks in Seasonally Flooded and Terra Firme Forests in the Inner Congo Basin

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Forest plots are a benchmark tool to quantify aboveground carbon (AGC) stocks and biodiversity in tropical forests. However, atypical edaphic forest types such as seasonally flooded forests or forests on sandy soil are scarce in the plot networks, despite their widespread occurrence.

Reflexive transnational law : the privatisation of civil law and the civilisation of private law [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The author examines the emergence of a transnational private law in alternative dispute resolution bodies and private norm formulating agencies from a reflexive law perspective. After introducing the concept of reflexive law he applies the idea of law as
