Latitude‐specific responses of European birds' population growth rates to temperature and water availability

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climate limits distribution of species and shows considerable regional variability. However, studies relating climate variation to species population growth rates in different climatic zones while accounting for species' ecological traits are scarce.

Context‐dependent forest elephant seed dispersal: implications for pathways of elephant‐driven patterns of biodiversity and carbon storage

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Seed dispersal by frugivores facilitates plant reproduction, enhancing germination and seedling survival by reducing risks like diseases and predation under parent trees and potentially directing seeds to favorable sites. Elephants, in particular, are known to strongly impact forests via their seed dispersal patterns because of their ability to ...

When species are lost but functions persist: a trait‐based perspective on Wadden Sea bird diversity dynamics

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity faces several global threats and communities are likely to show complex delayed responses. Accurately measuring these lags is critical to properly understand diversity dynamics. Here, we investigated these delays with minimal data availability and found critical mismatches between the temporal dynamics of taxonomic and functional diversity

Predator density outweighs experimental warming effects on short‐term carbon and nitrogen loss from arctic shrub litter

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Rapid climate change in the Arctic is altering biological communities and their subsequent effects on ecosystem functioning. For example, warming‐induced shrub expansion accelerates biogeochemical cycles in part by increasing high‐quality litter inputs.

Arctic‐breeding black‐legged kittiwakes show individual variation in foraging responses to glacial conditions without consequences for reproductive output

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...
