From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

Rainforest conversion to monoculture plantations restructures functional communities of braconid parasitoid wasps

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The conversion of rainforests into rubber and oil palm plantations drives biodiversity loss in Southeast Asia. Parasitoid wasps are highly diverse and play an essential role in ecosystems by regulating herbivore populations. Declines in density and diversity of parasitoid wasps, after land‐use change is well‐documented, but potential functional losses ...

The interacting effects of precipitation and microhabitat on non‐native seed predation are contingent on temporal dynamics

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding how different drivers of global change interact to shape ecological processes remains a major challenge in ecology. Climate change is reshuffling the interactions that structure communities, with major implications for biological invasions.

A recipe for recovery: diet as a decisive tool in species conservation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animals consume foods in specific quantities and ratios to meet a multi‐dimensional nutrient target that maximizes their fitness. Attempts to reach this target in an ever‐changing nutritional landscape often influence animal foraging behavior, habitat choice, and food‐web interactions. Consequently, understanding the nutritional ecology of a species is

Differential Response of Herbivores to Plant Defence

open access: yes, 2018
The differential response of insect herbivores to plant traits is one of the mechanismspromoting diversity and specificity of insect-plant interactions. The responsediffers mainly among generalist insects on the one hand and specialized or adaptedinsects
