Effects of landscape context on avian specialist response to increased surface temperature in protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Human development is a driver of global change and a major threat to biodiversity. Protected areas maintain and support biodiversity, but outside stressors, such as climate change and land use change, can negatively influence natural resources within protected areas.

Microbial infection risk predicts antimicrobial potential of avian symbionts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Symbiotic bacteria on animal hosts can prevent pathogenic bacterial infections by several mechanisms. Among them, symbiotic bacteria can indirectly enhance host’s immune responses or, directly, produce antimicrobial substances against pathogens.

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Forest structure and connectivity drive the functional recovery of seed rain

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 2, February 2026.
Local forest structure and landscape‐scale connectivity shape distinct but complementary pathways of the functional recovery of seed rain in tropical forests. Structural complexity promotes functionally diverse plant–frugivore interactions locally, while connectivity facilitates the arrival of late‐successional seeds from external sources.

Reproductive flexibility in a single‐brooded migrant: can the European roller Coracias garrulus adapt to extreme weather events?

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, January 2026.
Global climate change has intensified extreme weather events, including short‐duration but intense rainfall, which can significantly impact avian reproduction. This study examines the effects of extreme rainfall on the reproductive phenology and performance of the European roller Coracias garrulus, a single‐brooded migratory bird, in a semiarid ...

Alvaradoa amorphoides germination at low water potential and the role of the antioxidant system

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences, 2015
Tropical dry forests are characterized by a high diversity of tree communities and extremely heterogeneous water availability. The tree Alvaradoa amorphoides is a pioneer species of the tropical dry forest found in Xochicalco, Morelos, Mexico.

Trait‐based species selection for restoration: A case study from tropical landscapes dominated by bracken

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results can be used by stakeholders to select the species best suited for active restoration projects in bracken‐dominated areas throughout the tropical region. Furthermore, our trait‐based approach, which considers seedling performance in disturbed areas, can serve as a guide for species selection in restoration programmes in other disturbed ...
