Roads shape seed dispersal by rodents and carnivores at forest edges

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings highlight the role of roads as barriers and of roadsides as corridors for mammal‐mediated seed dispersal, with implications for forest regeneration and habitat connectivity. Roadside management should prioritize moderate shrub cover along paved roads to support rodent‐mediated seed dispersal while balancing ecological benefits with ...

Biomass production of tropical trees across space and time: The shifting roles of diameter growth and wood density

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Diameter growth is an important and good indicator of forest carbon production. However, size‐related changes in wood density, which are usually neglected, are critical for accurate short‐ and long‐term carbon assessments, especially in tropical humid sites.

Resolving the effects of functional traits on tree growth rates: The influence of temporal dynamics and divergent strategies by leaf habit

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Functional traits are not consistently associated with tree growth rates but instead reflect dynamic resource acquisition and investment strategies over time and between deciduous and evergreen species. Despite this variability, our findings confirm the utility of functional traits to predict tree growth rates, especially when trait effects are ...

Diversity modulates above‐ground productivity in response to disturbances: The case of Iberian forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
We analysed whether forest productivity responses to disturbances were modulated by structural and functional diversity, as well as by functional dominance, and whether these responses vary among functional groups. Forest diversity can mitigate the negative effects of disturbances on productivity.

Missouri Botanical Garden's cycad collection: A journey through time

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
This article summarizes the history of the Missouri Botanical Garden's extensive cycad collection. Some of the specimens currently housed in the living collections date back well over 100 years. Cycads continue to face a myriad of threats in the wild, and their conservation in ex situ collections is of critical importance to assist in their survival ...
