Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the

CpDNA-based species identification and phylogeography: application to a complex of African tropical tree species [PDF]
, 2010 Despite their importance as a hotspot of biodiversity, the history of the African tropical lowland rainforests is poorly known. In particular the respective influence of past climatic factors, environmental heterogeneity and physical barriers on the ...

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study provides the first isotopic analysis of Oligocene mammals from Quebrada Fiera, Mendoza, Argentina, filling a major gap in South American paleontology. It reveals a latitudinal gradient in aridity due to the Andean rain shadow and highlights the role of (semi)permanent water bodies in sustaining diverse herbivore communities. Additionally, it

Isoptopic evidence of the transfer of nitrogen fixed by legumes to coffee trees [PDF]
Biotechnologie, Agronomie, Société et Environnement, 2000 The use of isotopic methods has made it possible to quantify the contribution of nitrogen fixed by a coffee plantation. Thanks to the use of the natural 15N abundance assessment technique, we were able to show that, in field condition, roughly 30/ of the
