Land use history and landscape forest cover determine tropical forest recovery
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2365-2381, October 2024.Both a higher land use intensity and fragmented forest landscape decreases the speed of forest recovery, indicating that human actions and landscape transformation shape the course of succession. Restoration in fragmented forest landscapes through natural regeneration is more suitable in areas with low previous land use intensity, higher forest ...

International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1804-1817, August 2024.These results highlight the importance of drought as a driver of growth in Mediterranean scrublands. Growth resilience strategies differed between species with junipers being less resilient to drought than other coexisting shrubs. Further research should investigate how this difference in post‐drought resilience is related to functional traits ...

Animal Conservation, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 507-521, August 2024.We evaluated the viability of a newly founded population of the endangered Gran Canaria blue chaffinch (Fringilla polatzeki). We performed a multiple trait assessment of genetic, body condition and breeding success data. Our findings suggest that the translocation program has been successful and provide insights on the effectiveness of the actions ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 1029-1040, May 2024.The main drivers influencing the passive increase in tree species diversity suggest a primary role of diminishing forest exploitation in this recovery process, fine‐tuned by climatic changes. This ecological scenario has particularly favoured animal‐dispersed tree species with higher drought tolerance, which mostly led the diversity increase.

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 4, Page 800-816, April 2024.We used inventory data from climatically similar forests on the Canary Islands and mainland Spain, to investigate how productivity is determined by ecological and evolutionary processes associated with the biogeographic context. We found that the number of trees increased multifaceted diversity and productivity in mainland and island forests, and that ...

Divergent selection in a Mediterranean pine on local spatial scales
Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 278-290, February 2024.This study highlights how divergent selection in heterogeneous microenvironments shapes and maintains the functional genetic variation within populations of long‐lived forest tree species, being the first to focus on adaptive genetic divergence between south‐ and north‐facing slopes within continuous forest stands.
