Oikos, EarlyView.Behavioural plasticity is likely to influence how individuals continue to access resources under rapid climate change. Plasticity will be particularly important at highly dynamic, prey‐rich foraging areas such as upwelling fronts of marine‐terminating glaciers in the high Arctic, where profitability varies significantly across space and time ...

An international collaborative research network helps to design climate robust rice systems [PDF]
, 2009 Rice is the world's most important staple food. Although mainly produced in Asia (91%), it is consumed on all continents and its global importance and consumption is increasing.

Oikos, EarlyView.Urbanisation is a major driver of environmental change, reshaping ecological and evolutionary processes. Urban‐driven phenotypic differences are increasingly documented, but the underlying role of selection is still understudied. One pattern is the consistent reduction of carotenoid‐based plumage pigmentation in city birds.

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.

Predators and scavengers: Polar bears as marine carrion providers
Oikos, EarlyView.Scavenging is a foraging strategy widely used across the animal kingdom and apex predators provide a large amount of energy in a food web by provisioning carrion. In the harsh environmental conditions of the Arctic, apex predators such as polar bears Ursus maritimus can provide scavenging opportunities for many species. Carrion can act as a buffer when

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
