Tree cover and geographic origin of tree species drive bird functional groups in urban environments

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban trees provide habitat and resources for wild species in cities and support biodiversity provision of ecosystem services, among which insect control is particularly relevant. Predators of insects are promoted by the presence of trees and, in turn, may enhance biosecurity of the trees.

With a Great Story Comes Great Responsibility: Role of Narrative in Leadership Development

New Directions for Student Leadership, Volume 2025, Issue 185, Page 81-87, Spring 2025.
ABSTRACT Comic books reside uniquely within American culture. Historians have contended comics are more than just sequential artwork mixed with engaging stories, but rather, a framework by which the generations make sense of who they are. These stories are a reflection of cultural conscience; a lens through which we can view the world and a mirror ...

Reduction in litter allelochemicals promotes positive biotic interactions among alien species

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A key focus of invasion ecology is elucidating why multiple alien species accumulate within ecosystems. The invasional meltdown hypothesis proposes that one alien invader promotes further invasions through soil legacy effects.

Complex multitrophic species interactions and fitness costs: Intricate consequences of jasmonate and salicylate induced plant defences

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study reveals how long‐term activation of jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling reshapes arthropod communities and plant fitness across seasons. By showing that induced defences generate contrasting outcomes and cascading trade‐offs across trophic levels, it challenges the assumption that induced resistance is uniformly beneficial in natural ...

The Purview of the Particular: Power and Method in Foucaultian Genealogy

Constellations, EarlyView.
