Ecography, EarlyView.Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Coupling in situ and remote sensing data to assess α‐ and β‐diversity over biogeographic gradients
Ecography, EarlyView.The mapping of plant biodiversity represents a fundamental stage in establishing conservation priorities, particularly in identifying groups of species that share ecological requirements or evolutionary histories. This is often achieved by assessing different spatial diversity patterns in plant population distributions.

Scale‐dependent variation in leaf functional traits clarifies mechanisms of invasion
Ecography, EarlyView.Comparing the functional traits of co‐occurring native and invasive plant species can offer insight regarding mechanisms of invasion. Previous studies have failed to reach a consensus, indicating that the extent of trait differences between native and invasives might depend on the environmental context and on the spatial grain of the analysis.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.The web‐nesting spider mite Schizotetranychus brevisetosus Ehara attacks predators outside the nest, but the effectiveness of this behaviour is unknown. Spreading predator‐mimicking glass beads over the web induced intense patrolling behaviour in females, which even captured and attacked beads.

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Did democratization reduce the likelihood of politically connected bank bailouts in the past? What role did private central banks play as independent lenders of last resort? To answer these questions, this article provides new detailed archival evidence on the causes of bank failures in Spain in July 1931.

Species traits may predict extinction risk of Azorean endemic arthropods
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Ground‐dwelling endemic arthropods face a higher extinction risk due to habitat degradation and invasive plants. Canopy species may seem less threatened but still face extinction risks from habitat fragmentation. Body size and trophic group did not predict species threat levels.
