Do environmental fluctuations during development affect trait variation? An experimental test with salinity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Human‐induced climate change is a driver of extinction, with extreme events occurring more frequently. It increases both the amount and fluctuations in environmental stress that organisms experience. In such environments, greater intra‐specific trait variation creates more potential for adaptation through natural selection.

Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

Oikos, EarlyView.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

Habitat availability is insufficient to explain regional variations in white stork breeding habitat preference

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding species–habitat associations is key for making predictions of species distributions of relevance to ecology and conservation. Regional differences in species habitat preferences can hinder the transferability of habitat models in space and time, but our ability to account for these differences will depend on the mechanisms underlying them
