Guild diversity impacts demographic outcomes of novel species interactions following range shifts

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study applies the theory of biotic resistance, a common concept in invasion ecology, to the world of climate driven range shifts, and finds support that biotic resistance may create a life‐stage dependent benefit to resident species, alleviating the competitive impacts of range shifters on native communities.

Carboxylate release as a nutrient‐acquisition strategy in mycorrhizal plant species in phosphorus‐impoverished environments

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Many mycorrhizal plant species very likely depended on root carboxylate release to acquire P at the P‐impoverished study sites. Arbuscular mycorrhizal species exhibited a less conservative nutrient‐utilisation strategy with higher leaf [P] than cluster‐rooted non‐mycorrhizal species and accessed more inorganic N.

Weed‐suppressive ability and species dominance in intercropping: A meta‐regression

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Our findings provide further evidence for the selection effect being the key mechanism explaining why intercrops suppress weeds more than the average of their pure stands. While the dominance of a stronger weed suppressor enhances weed suppression, it may also suppress the weaker species, potentially compromising overall production.

Functional traits and soil water availability shape competitive interactions in a diploid–polyploid complex

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Our study emphasises that the long‐term fate of polyploids largely depends on water availability, with high polyploids having a competitive advantage in arid environments. This ultimately highlights the role of functional traits in shaping the competitive dynamics between cytotypes.
