Human Disturbance but Not Predation Risk Is Associated With Increased Vigilance in Roe Deer

open access: yesEthology, 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.

Breeding in natural nesting sites can improve the resilience of local Lesser Kestrel (Falco naumanni) populations to environmental changes

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
The identification of key habitats of threatened species and of extrinsic environmental factors that influence their resilience to human‐induced environmental changes are the foundation for the definition of conservation objectives. Using the presence and numerical abundance data collected in a long‐term survey (2000–24) of breeding colonies of Lesser ...

Unmanaged forest swamps benefit saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane fly communities

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Species richness of both saproxylic and soil‐inhabiting crane flies was consistently higher in unmanaged forests across all habitat types. Soil‐inhabiting species thrived in swamps and ditches, while saproxylic richness was linked to low light and high soil moisture, independent of habitat type.

Tree growth response and adaptation to climate change and climate extremes: From canopy to stem

open access: yesJournal 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 ...

Phage Display Derived Antibodies Against Antimicrobial Peptide FsPDF2 Reveal Stress Response in European Beech

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plant defensins (PDFs) are cysteine‐rich antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) that are important components of plant immunity. They occur constitutively in various plant tissues but are also upregulated upon stress. Therefore, these molecules are of great interest as markers for the diagnosis of early forest stress response in plants at the molecular

Using Annual Resolution Pollen Analysis to Synchronize Varve and Tree-Ring Records

open access: yesQuaternary, 2019
Fossil wood and varved lake sediments allow proxy analysis with exceptionally high, (sub-)annual resolution. Both archives provide dating through ring and layer counting, yet with different accuracy.
