Addressing biases in sliding window analysis gives new insight into the response of parturition date to weather in a wild mammal

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Animal breeding phenology in temperate and high latitude regions is often predicted by weather variables, such as temperature. Much work on this topic has focused on taxonomic groups that employ adaptive plastic responses to annual variation in an environmental cue, with analytical approaches developed to determine when weather has an effect and the ...

Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...

Ecosystem size reverses the effect of the spatial coupling between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The flow of non‐living resources between autotrophic and heterotrophic ecosystems can impact their ecosystem function. However, ecosystem size is similarly known to influence ecological properties and it is uncertain how the size of coupled ecosystems mediates the effect of resource flows.

Frugivory‐mediated trophic cascades: how apex predators can shape the recruitment of a fleshy‐fruited tree

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.
