Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

Bandwagon effects in a floral market: Early pollinator acquisition offsets colour disadvantages in less attractive flowers

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowers with striking colours or scents are often considered to have an advantage in the competition for pollinators. However, if pollinators copy others to avoid exploration costs in changing environments, less attractive flowers may benefit from acquiring early ...

Is bee‐avoidance by bird‐pollinated flowers driven by nectar robbing in Erica?

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Nectar robbing (consuming nectar from a perforated flower without pollinating) generally negatively affects plant fecundity, and plants exhibit multiple mechanisms in defence.

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens
