Home and away: allometry and climate drive morphology of European rabbits in their native and introduced range

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic conditions shape phenotypic evolution by driving adaptations that optimise organismal function. Invasive species provide valuable systems to study these processes, as they often encounter novel climatic conditions in their introduced ranges. The European rabbit Oryctolagus cuniculus, native to the Iberian Peninsula, has established populations

Globally widespread weeds show preadaptation to non‐analogue climates: a common garden approach

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climatic niche shifts have been documented for plant species introduced into new regions, however the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Niche shifts into novel climates are particularly difficult to predict as previous occurrence data cannot reveal whether these novel climates are within species' fundamental niche limits.

Resource competition between buoyancy‐regulating and sinking phytoplankton species along a stratified water column

Oikos, EarlyView.
In temperate lakes, plankton dynamics are closely linked to seasonal shifts in water stratification, following air temperature. The onset of summer stratification typically coincides with the formation of an algal spring bloom in the well‐mixed surface layer (epilimnion).

Reindeer grazing induces spatial and functional shifts in root systems of boreal pine forests

Oikos, EarlyView.
The spatial distribution of roots, laterally and vertically, is critical for nutrient and water uptake and for driving root‐associated carbon inputs and turnover. Large herbivores, such as reindeer, influence ecosystems belowground by altering aboveground vegetation composition and soil microclimate.

A tipping point for tipping points

Oikos, EarlyView.
Tipping points (TPs) – often understood as abrupt changes to a system – have become a popular framework for ecology and environmental science across spatial and temporal scales. The underlying, quantitative foundation of TP theory is built on mathematical models from catastrophe and predator–prey theories.
