Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits
Oikos, EarlyView.According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Friends or foes? Polyploidy and competition in a grassland geophyte
Oikos, EarlyView.Previous studies have suggested polyploids may possess a competitive advantage over diploids, due to their larger size, increased vigour or ability to better respond to abiotic stress. However, few studies have tested the effect of polyploidy on competitive ability directly, and only relatively recently has this oversight begun to be addressed. Here we

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure
Oikos, EarlyView.Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Oikos, EarlyView.Climatic conditions alter the phenology of species, which may threaten the synchrony of biotic interactions. However, how phenological synchrony across entire communities of plants and their pollinators responds to varying environmental conditions remains poorly understood.
