Coordination of cortex modifications in time, space, and under stress. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary In roots, cell‐type‐specific differentiation enables specialized responses to environmental stress. The cortex, located between the vasculature and epidermis, is a key site for stress‐responsive modifications. The distinct specializations of the cortex are controlled by developmental, positional and environmental signals.

Human-Induced Downsizing of Animal Communities Weakens Trait Matching Between Tropical Plants and Frugivores. [PDF]
Ecol LettWe assess the impact of human‐induced ‘downsizing’ of animal communities on plant–frugivore trait matching—the alignment between fruit size and frugivore body mass—using a global dataset on plant and animal traits and 102 ecological networks across the tropics.

Long-Term Sperm Storage in a Superfetatious Live-Bearing Fish (<i>Poeciliopsis gracilis</i>, Poeciliidae). [PDF]
Ecol EvolAmong the vertebrates, live‐bearing fishes of the family Poeciliidae are generally assumed to store sperm for extended periods of time, but the temporal dynamics of this process remain enigmatic for most species. With this study, we assess the maximum duration of sperm storage and usage in the superfetatious poeciliid Poeciliopsis gracilis by comparing
