Microbe-induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory. [PDF]
Summary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

Drying suppresses fine root production to 1 m depths and alters root traits in four distinct tropical forests. [PDF]
Summary Drying and drought in tropical forests, which have some of the highest net primary productivity on Earth, are likely to alter root dynamics, ecosystem function, and carbon (C) storage. We used a chronic drying experiment in four lowland Panamanian forests to investigate whether soil drying shifts tropical forest root production from surface to ...

Strong scale-dependent relationships between fine-root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling. [PDF]
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Changes in community composition and functional diversity of European bats under climate change. [PDF]
Abstract Climate change is predicted to drive geographical range shifts that will result in changes in species diversity and functional composition and have potential repercussions for ecosystem functioning. However, the effect of these changes on species composition and functional diversity (FD) remains unclear, especially for mammals, specifically ...

[EN]: Dehesas are agroforestry systems that occupy a significant fraction of the land surface in the Iberian Peninsula. The sustanainability of these systems could be threathen by the increases in grazing intensity that these areas have experienced over the last decades, and by the changes in abiotic conditions predicted by the different climate change

Community‐level effects of Müllerian mimicry on pollinator diversity and functioning
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Müllerian mimicry, a mutualistic interaction in which harmful species evolve similar warning signals, is often accompanied by niche divergence among mimetic species. While these aspects have traditionally been studied in an evolutionary context, their community‐level ...
