Functional traits predict changes in floral phenology under climate change in a highly diverse Mediterranean community

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1270-1285, May 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants are shifting their flowering phenology in response to climate change, but trends differ between species and communities. Functional traits can largely explain how different species respond to climate change by shifting their phenology, and can therefore help ...

Plant functional traits shape the provision of ecosystem services to Indigenous communities in western Amazonia

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 12, Page 3313-3329, December 2025.
Abstract Context. Exploring how Indigenous People interact with plants through their functional traits allows us to understand the ecological bases of plant selection. Functional traits can help explain why certain plants are consistently chosen for specific purposes across diverse cultural contexts.

Contrasting effects of vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores on leaf litter decomposition in terrestrial ecosystems: A meta‐analysis

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 12, Page 3372-3384, December 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivores influence litter quality, soil properties and decomposer communities, with cascading effects on litter decomposition. Vertebrate and invertebrate herbivores can affect decomposition through the same two pathways (litter quality‐ and soil‐mediated) but are ...

Dispersión de semillas por aves en un bosque templado de Sudamérica austral: ¿quién dispersa a quién?

Ecología Austral, 2005
Un gran número de plantas depende de animales mutualistas para la dispersión de sus semillas, tarea principalmente realizada por aves que ingieren los frutos y defecan o regurgitan las semillas en forma intacta. El Bosque Templado de Sudamérica Austral (

Thermal tolerance is linked to anatomical but not morphological leaf traits in woody species of Andean tropical montane forests

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 6, Page 1537-1549, June 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The world is experiencing a rise in global temperatures as a result of climate change. Higher temperatures along with more frequent heat waves negatively impact physiological levels and ultimately lead to plant death.

Endogenous rhythmic growth and ectomycorrhizal fungi modulate priming of antiherbivore defences in subsequently formed new leaves of oak trees

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1382-1396, June 2025.
A first herbivore attack primes direct and indirect defences of newly formed oak leaves and, the specific display of defence priming is regulated by rhythmic growth, and modulated by the interaction with the ectomycorrhizal fungus Piloderma croceum. Therefore, the priming memory in oaks can be transmitted to the next growth cycle. GC, growth cycle; SF,

Evaluación de métodos no paramétricos para la estimación de riqueza de especies de plantas leñosas en cafetales

Botan‪ical Sciences, 2006
Los cafetales, como parte del paisaje, contribuyen a la diversidad regional de especies leñosas. La riqueza de árboles fue evaluada en ocho fincas cafetaleras activas y abandonadas, y se comparó la riqueza observada o muestreada con la riqueza estimada ...
