Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

Below the leaves: Integrating above‐ and below‐ground phenology for earth‐system predictability

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Almost every aspect of biological systems has phenology—a pattern in activity or function linked to annual cycles. Most terrestrial phenology research focusses on leaves, the onset of leaf out or senescence.

Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

open access: yesFunctional 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

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).

The coordination of dehydration tolerance and avoidance in oaks is mediated by leaf habit across a precipitation gradient

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests worldwide are increasingly impacted by drought due to climate change, prompting plants to adapt through dehydration tolerance (DT) and avoidance (DA), two distinct physiological strategies.
