Renewal bud traits as a link between whole plant traits and herbaceous species phenology

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1312-1323, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Overwintering below‐ground buds and organs determine spring regrowth of perennial herbs in temperate regions. This effect could also manifest further in the timing and duration of plant growth and flowering and has been documented in some species and organ types ...

Realistic species loss has little effect on local resource depletion and competitive pressure in a temperate wet meadow

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.
Realistic biodiversity loss in a species‐rich wet meadow had limited effects on community competitive ability. Phytometers revealed strong competition compared to competition‐free gaps, but similar pressure across richness levels (1–27 species). Resource depletion poorly explained responses, highlighting that dominance, seasonal dynamics and biotic ...

BIEN: A biodiversity informatics ecosystem advancing open and reproducible workflows for plant observation, plot and trait data

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1556-1584, May 2026.
Abstract The rapid expansion of biodiversity data presents new opportunities to understand and forecast biosphere dynamics. However, disparate and dispersed data, taxonomic and geographic inconsistencies, pervasive quality issues, and a lack of reproducable workflows hinder synthesis, introduce biases and limit accurate assessment of biodiversity ...

Bridging the Energy Balance Gap in Eddy‐Covariance Measurements: Insights From Standardized Network Data

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Written Summary: Measuring energy exchanges between land and atmosphere is fundamental to understanding climate, but these measurements are systematically incomplete, with 20%–40% of energy consistently unaccounted for. Analyzing data from 84 sites worldwide, we show that carefully tracking all energy components and applying strict data quality filters

Demographic and Structural Variability Modulate Growth Dynamics in European Beech Primary Forests

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
Climate change is increasing drought and heat stress on European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), causing widespread tree vitality losses and growth declines across Europe. Using a large tree ring network from montane primary beech forests, we found that trees of various ages and sizes respond differently to climate warming, leading to contrasting within ...

From Purpose to Persistence: How Intentional Introductions by Humans Influence Ecological Niches of Non‐Native Plants

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The intentional or unintentional transport of non‐native plants is key to overcoming geographic barriers. However, it remains unclear whether such introduction pathways associate with overcoming environmental barriers, which is key for successful invasion.

Garnet–Clinopyroxene Double‐Layered Coronae in a Metagabbronorite From the High‐Grade Metamorphic Gföhl Unit, Moldanubian Zone

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 4, Page 311-336, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates garnet–clinopyroxene double‐layered coronae in a metagabbronorite from the high‐grade metamorphic Gföhl Unit (Bohemian Massif). The coronae formed at the interfaces between relic magmatic orthopyroxene, still preserved in the cores of the coronae, and the plagioclase‐rich rock matrix.

Molecular insights into electroreceptor ribbon synapses from differential gene expression in sturgeon lateral line organs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 5, Page 784-805, May 2026.
The expression of various genes involved in synapse development, stability and/or function was studied in developing mechanosensory neuromasts and electrosensory ampullary organs in sterlet sturgeon. Most were shared, including Slc17a8, Slc1a3 and Nrxn3, but Cbln18 was neuromast‐restricted and Tulp1 was ampullary organ‐restricted.
