Contrasting impacts of climbing plants on host tree reproduction in a drought‐stressed forest

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climbing plants, or climbers, are known to negatively affect the survival and reproduction of tropical and temperate humid forest trees through competition and structural parasitism. These impacts are attributed to their growth strategy, which relies on other plants for mechanical support and allows them to divert resources away from structural ...

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.

Latitude‐specific responses of European birds' population growth rates to temperature and water availability

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climate limits distribution of species and shows considerable regional variability. However, studies relating climate variation to species population growth rates in different climatic zones while accounting for species' ecological traits are scarce.

Classification of the Type of Contact Between Primary Molars as an Indicator of the Likelihood of Future Caries

open access: yesChildren
Background/Objectives: Contact areas between first and second primary molars, shaped by concave/convex proximal surface morphology, are associated with proximal caries with concave surfaces linked to biofilm stagnation.

Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
We tested the hypothesis that, in calcareous and siliceous ecosystems from the wet temperate climate of southwest France, competition primarily explains differences in community composition and species richness in grasslands but that facilitation is more determinant in forests. In a first experiment, we transplanted, in dry and wet years, grass species

An examination of Homo naledi early juveniles recovered from the Rising Star cave system, South Africa

open access: yesAnnals of Human Biology
Background Six Homo naledi early juveniles were recovered from U.W. 101 (Dinaledi Chamber), U.W. 102 (Lesedi Chamber), and U.W. 110 in the Rising Star cave system.Aim This paper develops the information for the H.
