Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Diameter growth of European beech on carbonate: a regional versus forest type perspective

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Forest Research, 2023
AbstractWe studied the impacts of site, stand and tree variables on the diameter growth of beech trees (Fagussylvatica L.) on carbonate bedrock and examined to what extent the regional diameter growth model can be used at the forest type level. Based on 12,193 permanent sampling plots (500 m2 each) with 94,770 beech trees, we first developed a linear ...

What does coexistence mean? Insight from place‐based trajectories of pastoralists and bears encounters in the Pyrenees

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The recovery of large carnivores in Europe raises issues related to sharing landscape with humans. Beyond technical solutions, it is widely recognized that social factors also contribute to shaping coexistence. In this context, scholars increasingly stress the need to adopt place‐based approaches by analysing how humans and wildlife interact ...

Functional traits in soil-living oribatid mites unveil trophic reorganization in belowground communities by introduced tree species

open access: yesGeoderma
Biodiversity loss and its potential threat on ecosystem functions call for a critical evaluation of human impacts on forest ecosystems. Management practices based on stand diversification offer a possible solution to biodiversity loss due to monoculture ...

Abundant and rare spiders on tree trunks in German forests (Arachnida, Araneae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The spider fauna active on the bark of trees in forests on eight sites in different regions in Germany was investigated. Trunk eclectors at about 2-4 meters height on living trees were used in different regions of Germany (SW Bavaria, Hesse, Brandenburg)

Beech wood treated with polyglycerol succinate: a new effective method for its protection and stabilization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
This paper deals with an original and non-biocidal chemical treatment consisting of a vacuum/pressure impregnation step of beech wood with a water-borne mixture made from heat-activated condensation of succinic anhydride (SA) and glycerol (G).

A reference genome of the European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) [PDF]

open access: yesGigaScience, 2018
Abstract Background The European beech is arguably the most important climax broad-leaved tree species in Central Europe, widely planted for its valuable wood. Here, we report the 542 Mb draft genome sequence of an up to 300-year-old individual (Bhaga) from an undisturbed stand in the Kellerwald ...

More pumas (Puma concolor) does not change perceptions: The mismatched response of ranchers to the presence of a top carnivore

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Human‐wildlife conflicts (HWCs) are one of the most critical conservation challenges worldwide. Large carnivores are frequently at the centre of these conflicts because of the perceived and real threats they pose to livestock and human safety.
