Nests in trees are as good as or better than cliffs for two formerly persecuted, primarily cliff nesting eagles in Spain: a cautionary tale in defining the habitat of range‐restricted or threatened species

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
In the late‐20th century, golden and Bonelli's eagles suffered population declines on the Iberian Peninsula, partly due to human persecution. Habitat assessments – especially for Bonelli's eagles – always found or assumed strong associations with cliffs that provided nesting sites.

Comparative Trends of Sociality Among Terrestrial Carnivores: A Multivariate Analysis 陆生食肉动物社会性的比较趋势:一项多变量分析

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.
In this study we analyze the role of phylogeny, environment, and community structure on sociality. Using structural equation modeling (SEM) we aim to quantify the direct and indirect impacts of variables on behaviors including social grouping, reproduction, and space use among Carnivora species.

Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov., a Genomically Distinct, Flower‐Associated Yeast, Resistant to Azoles and Exhibiting Pathogenicity‐Related Traits

Yeast, EarlyView.
Candidozyma cisalpinoae sp. nov. represents a distinct species within the Candidozyma clade, supported by multilocus phylogeny, genome‐scale metrics, and phenotypic traits. Although isolated from floral substrates, this species displays several traits commonly associated with opportunistic pathogenic yeasts.

Internal physiological drivers of leaf development in trees: Understanding the relationship between non‐structural carbohydrates and leaf phenology

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

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.

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

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
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 ...

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Seasonal nitrogen enrichment alters plant community stability–area relationship through decreased biodiversity, species asynchrony, and population stability

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition generally reduces the temporal stability of plant communities (community stability). The positive community stability–area relationship (CSAR) has been reported, but the effects of N deposition on CSAR are unexplored, particularly ...
