The latitudinal gradient in European ant dark diversity: patterns and potential mechanisms
Oikos, EarlyView.Observed richness has long been the basis for studies of species distribution patterns and community ecology, but dark diversity (i.e. the group of species in the regional pool that can live under the specific local environmental conditions but which are not part of the local species richness) has recently gained prominence for providing complementary ...

Ectomycorrhizal fungi and root water uptake respond independently to water availability
Oikos, EarlyView.Temperate forests on their warm and dry distribution limits are expected to be most vulnerable to reductions in water availability. This prediction is mostly based on studies assessing single forest functions, mainly growth. Water and nutrient cycling are functions that rely on tree roots and their symbiotic association with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi.

Trophic niche overlap decreases in related mesocarnivore species
Oikos, EarlyView.In natural environments, competition between species is a crucial factor for the survival or demise of populations. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that promote species coexistence is crucial in community and evolutionary ecology. The phylogenetic limiting to similarity hypothesis (PLSH) posits that closely related species should experience ...

Contrasting impacts of climbing plants on host tree reproduction in a drought‐stressed forest
Oikos, EarlyView.Climbing plants, or climbers, are known to negatively affect the survival and reproduction of tropical and temperate humid forest trees through competition and structural parasitism. These impacts are attributed to their growth strategy, which relies on other plants for mechanical support and allows them to divert resources away from structural ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Invasive ants threaten biodiversity worldwide. They may benefit from being novel if native species fail to show appropriate responses to their cues. Cues include chemical footprints (or ‘home‐range markings' in ants) left by all walking insects, which resemble cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs).

National Park Service staff perspectives on how climate change affects visitor use
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Many public lands, including those managed by the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), have the purpose of conserving natural and cultural resources and providing opportunities for visitors to recreate in and enjoy these areas. Achieving this mission becomes more challenging as drought, flooding, increasing temperatures and other climatic change ...
