Whenever a quantum environment emerges as a classical system, it behaves like a measuring apparatus
, 2019 We study the dynamics of a quantum system $\Gamma$ with an environment $\Xi$ made of $N$ elementary quantum components. We aim at answering the following questions: can the evolution of $\Gamma$ be characterized by some general features when $N$ becomes ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Most ecological models of species interactions require many parameters, making them expensive to fit to experimental or observational data. To reduce the number of parameters, species are often divided into groups a priori, for example on the basis of functional or phylogenetic similarity, and species within these groups are assumed to behave ...

Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones
Oikos, EarlyView.When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

Plant and insect functional traits influence herbivore performance under climate change
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate change is expected to disrupt many trophic interactions, including those between insect herbivores and their host plants, which could have detrimental effects at the ecosystem level. However, the response of insect herbivory to climate change can vary widely across species, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying this variation is ...

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds
Oikos, EarlyView.Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

The impact of COVID‐19 on public perceptions of wild meat in Central Africa
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat is a significant source of food and income generation in Central Africa. However, there is little knowledge of how the assumed link between COVID‐19 and wild meat consumption has been discussed by the media and received by the public. In this study, we conducted media content analysis of 264 articles published in 2019–2020 related to

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Volunteers have been involved in nature observations for decades through citizen science initiatives, providing large data sets as well as problem identification that allow a more complete understanding of many natural phenomena. Although communication is a core component in citizen science, the key factors that determine its effectiveness in ...
