Contrasting impacts of climbing plants on host tree reproduction in a drought‐stressed forest

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...

Fly pollinator foraging in boreal forests is shaped by climate, forest structure and flower resources

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Most insect pollinators are ectothermic and rely on external heat sources for temperature regulation. Forests, with their diverse canopy structures and sunlight penetration levels, create a mosaic of microclimates influencing these insects' behaviour.

Assessing plant phenological changes based on drivers of spring phenology

open access: yes
Abstract Understanding plant phenological responses to climate warming is crucial for predicting changes in plant communities and ecosystems but difficult with sensitivity analysis that is not linked to drivers of spring phenology. In this article, we present a new measure phenological lag to quantify the overall effect of phenological constraints ...

Functional and phylogenetic beta diversity response of nocturnal moth assemblages to land‐use intensity in grasslands and forests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Land‐use intensification is filtering for species, able to cope with anthropogenic landscapes. This was assumed to result in functionally and phylogenetically homogenous communities, but a recent meta‐analysis could not confirm a consistent homogenization response to human pressure and raises open questions.

Phenology and climate

open access: yes, 2013
Within the last 20 years, it has been documented that human caused climate change occurs on all continents having major influences on ecosystems. Knowledge on how individuals respond to climate change is of high importance for understanding the effects of climate change on ecosystems.
