FennoTraits: dataset of plant functional traits and community composition in northern European flora
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.We present here FennoTraits, a dataset of plant functional trait and community composition data collected from Fennoscandia across northern Finland, Norway, and Sweden in 2016–2025. This dataset has 42 049 abundance estimations and 155 794 site‐level functional trait observations from 10 traits representing 373 vascular plant species collected from ...

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Reflectance spectroscopy predicts leaf functional traits across wine grape cultivars
Plants, People, PlanetSocietal Impact Statement Characterizing variability in crop traits is key for understanding agroecosystem responses to environmental change. However, trait data are often time‐consuming to collect and therefore still limit our understanding and ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming and plant invasions jointly alter alpine ecosystems, but the mechanisms underlying these interactions remain unclear. A key to predicting ecosystem vulnerability is whether native and invasive species can sustain performance as conditions warm.

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding how species interactions relate to biodiversity requires linking complex interaction networks to coexistence mechanisms. In diverse communities, interactions span trophic levels and include pairwise and higher‐order effects, yet their relative importance for explaining population dynamics remains poorly understood.
