Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components
Oikos, EarlyView.Intensified land‐use in grasslands reduces biodiversity, particularly affecting arthropod populations. However, responses of individual species vary depending on their ecological traits and habitat requirements. Some species may tolerate or even benefit from intensive land‐use, while others, particularly specialists or those with narrow niches, are ...

Resource limitation and competition shape reproductive allocation and synchrony
Oikos, EarlyView.The dynamics of reproductive allocation (RA) in herbaceous plant communities, particularly in response to varying environmental conditions such as drought stress and competitive interactions, remain underexplored. This study aims to fill this gap by hypothesising that both belowground resource limitation and the presence of dominant species ...

Oikos, EarlyView.The recovery of large carnivores offers unique opportunities to study their cascading impacts on plant population dynamics. Medium‐sized carnivores, both prey and seed dispersers, are suppressed by apex predators, indirectly increasing seed‐eating rodent's populations and potentially altering plant establishment.

Reconsidering climatic predictors for high‐resolution niche models of alpine plants
Oikos, EarlyView.The increasingly acknowledged and consequently also better understood microclimatic variability in terrestrial ecosystems has motivated a call for finer spatial resolution in species distribution modelling, especially in the case of sedentary low‐stature organisms such as plants.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species
Oikos, EarlyView.Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Wasp communities associated with fig trees, Ficus spp., are a model system to investigate how local and regional processes shape biodiversity across large geographical ranges. We investigated the β‐diversity of fig wasp assemblages associated with three widely distributed Neotropical fig species – F. citrifolia, F. obtusifolia and F. pertusa – using 27
