Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.

Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer
Ethology, EarlyView.Roe deer vigilance is lower in natural than in modified habitats, decreases with group size, but is not significantly influenced by stable wolf presence, suggesting habitat‐driven risk perception and reliance on spatial avoidance over increased alertness.

Does shade improve light interception efficiency? A comparison among seedlings from shade-tolerant and -intolerant temperate deciduous tree species [PDF]
, 2006 • Here, we tested two hypotheses: shading increases light interception efficiency (LIE) of broadleaved tree seedlings, and shade-tolerant species exhibit larger LIEs than do shade-intolerant ones.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review synthesizes the responses and adaptations of tree growth, including canopy phenology, intra‐annual wood formation dynamics, and annual stem growth, to climate change and climate extremes. It highlights key knowledge gaps for future research to support sustainable forest management and enhance forest carbon storage under ongoing climate ...

Elevation, rather than land use, causes important dietary shifts in the Mediterranean golden eagle
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.In an ever‐changing landscape, golden eagles in the Iberian Peninsula demonstrate remarkable dietary adaptability. We monitored 50 distinct breeding events over 4 years using camera traps, collecting over 520 000 images. Elevation, rather than land use, emerged as the main driver of prey composition: lagomorphs and columbiforms dominated at lower ...

MICROPROPAGATION OF Fagus spp.
, 2003 619 pp. The genus Fagus, a member of the Fagaceae family, comprises ten species of monrecious trees native to the Northern Hemisphere Temperate Zone regions of Eurasia and Eastern North America. The name Fagus (related to Greek phagein, to eat) is a reference to the distinctive triangular nuts of these species, which are eaten by ...
