Visual information in the dark: Bioluminescence and perceptual design through evolution

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Bioluminescence offers a powerful framework for understanding how organisms evolve to shape visual information in diverse ways. Complementing studies of colour, transparency and pattern in illuminated environments, bioluminescent systems instead rely on generated light,

Phenological turnover matters when making trait‐based predictions of plant–pollinator interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understanding the processes determining species' interactions is key to predicting and safeguarding ecological networks under rapid environmental change. One approach to estimating interactions is to use morphologies of taxa interacting across trophic levels to reveal ...

Self‐pruning in tree crowns is influenced by functional strategies and neighbourhood interactions

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract As canopy closure imposes light limitation in forests, the dieback of trees' lower branches, known as self‐pruning, defines their live crown base and shapes the structure and function of entire stands.

To converge or diverge? Phenological shifts driven by plant genome size and functional traits under nitrogen deposition and mowing

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Linkages between genome size (GS) and phenology underscore the diversification of functional traits, which are indicative of life‐history and resource acquisition strategies.
