Opinion and report of the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health & Safety (ANSES) relating to an analysis of the health risks associated with exposure to caterpillars with stinging hairs and the development of management recommendations

open access: yesFood Risk Assess Europe, Volume 3, Issue 2, April 2025.
Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...

Tree species identity shapes the relationship between canopy cover and herb‐layer species in temperate forests

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 3, Page 582-597, March 2025.
This study is an empirical demonstration of the importance of tree species identity cover in shaping the distribution of the herb layer, surpassing the effects of tree diversity alone. By considering the significance of tree species identity cover, we can inform forest management and conservation measures, improve spatial prediction of herb‐layer ...

Towards a global understanding of tree mortality

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 245, Issue 6, Page 2377-2392, March 2025.
Summary Rates of tree mortality are increasing globally, with implications for forests and climate. Yet, how and why these trends vary globally remain unknown. Developing a comprehensive assessment of global tree mortality will require systematically integrating data from ground‐based long‐term forest monitoring with large‐scale remote sensing.

Invasion Dynamics of the Alien Amphibian Xenopus laevis in France: Perspectives for Management

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Background Invasive alien species (IAS) are recognised as pervasive drivers of global environmental change and pose significant threats to socio‐ecosystems worldwide. Although much attention is focused on prevalent IAS, the oversight of species that are still contained and approaching critical invasion thresholds raises concern.

Dominance and rarity in tree communities across the globe: Patterns, predictors and threats

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 33, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Aim Ecological and anthropogenic factors shift the abundances of dominant and rare tree species within local forest communities, thus affecting species composition and ecosystem functioning. To inform forest and conservation management it is important to understand the drivers of dominance and rarity in local tree communities.

Sacred offerings and secular foods on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago, East Polynesia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 1, Page 29-67, April 2024.
ABSTRACT In 1976, Yosihiko H. Sinoto conducted extensive archaeological survey and excavations on Reao Atoll, Tuamotu Archipelago as part of a Japanese, multi‐disciplinary expedition led by Prof. Sachiko Hatanaka. Primarily excavating three marae and four habitation sites totalling ∼180 m2, more than 25000 vertebrate remains were recovered.

20th Century Changes of DOC and Its 14C Signature Archived in Caucasus Ice‐Core: Implications for Past Sources of Organic Carbon Aerosol in South‐Eastern Europe

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 129, Issue 5, 16 March 2024.
Abstract To reconstruct the history of organic carbon (OC) aerosol over south‐eastern Europe, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and its 14C signature (DO14C) were investigated along an ice core drilled at the Mount Elbrus (ELB) in Caucasus. In summer, compared to pre‐1945 levels, the DOC concentrations increased by 45% after 1960, the mean DO14C depletion

Genetic variation in Loudetia simplex supports the presence of ancient grasslands in Madagascar

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 315-329, March 2024.
Recognizing Loudetia‐dominated grasslands were widespread prior to human colonization highlights that open ecosystems were and continue to be an important component of Madagascar's biodiversity. A better understanding of the plant species that form grassland ecosystems is necessary for effective land management strategies that support livelihoods, but ...

Habitat fragmentation through urbanization selects for low dispersal in an ant species

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2024, Issue 3, March 2024.
Increased habitat fragmentation is one of the major global changes affecting biodiversity. It is characterised by a decrease in habitat availability and by the isolation of suitable habitat patches. The dispersal capacities of species may evolve in response to increased habitat fragmentation. Spatial heterogeneities and/or costs of dispersal, which are
