Species‐ and trait‐based responses of carabids to rotation and closer‐to‐nature forestry in a temperate forest under changing climate

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 928-940, November 2025.
Species‐specific responses of insects to forest management remain partly unfolded, thus ground beetles and their traits were studied in five different forestry treatments. Clear‐cuts and retentions had the most negative impact while habitat generalists and species with flexible breeding period have no response.

Regional Variation in Insularity Effects on Acorn Herbivory in European Oaks Challenges Predictions of Lower Herbivory on Islands

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Ecological theory predicts lower herbivory on islands. However, most island‐mainland comparisons have focused on vegetative tissues, while reproductive structures remain understudied despite their direct influence on plant fitness and recruitment.

Management of sessile oak (Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.), a major forest species in Europe

Journal of Forestry Research
Abstract Sessile oak ( Quercus petraea (Matt.) Liebl.) is widely distributed across most of Europe particularly the hills and lower mountain ranges, so is considered “the oak of the mountains”.

Large‐Scale Genomic SNP Dataset for Central and Southeast European Turkey Oak (Quercus cerris L.) Populations Generated by ddRAD‐Seq Method

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background In Central and Southeast Europe, oak‐dominated forests form the backbone of temperate forest ecosystems. Therefore, their adaptability is crucial for maintaining the biodiversity of these ecosystems under ongoing climate change. Turkey oak (Quercus cerris L.) is a widespread species in these regions and holds significant potential ...

Foliar Endophytic Fungal Communities Are Driven by Leaf Traits—Evidence From a Temperate Tree Diversity Experiment

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
Our study demonstrates that functional leaf traits play a crucial role in shaping fungal endophyte richness and community composition, even beyond the effects of tree species identity. Traits associated with the leaf economics spectrum exhibited both positive and negative relationships with endophyte richness depending on specific trait and taxa ...

Effects of food source quality on the adults of Melolontha melolontha and M. hippocastani

Leśne Prace Badawcze, 2016
This paper presents the results of studies on the life span, survival, weight and fecundity of the forest cockchafer (Melolontha hippocastani, Fabricius, 1801) and the common cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha, Linnaeus, 1758) beetle feeding on Alnus ...

Decreasing Stem Growth in Common European Tree Species Despite Earlier Growth Onset

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 7, July 2025.
Our findings reveal that elevated winter and spring temperatures led to earlier attainment of annual growth levels, indicating an earlier onset of tree growth driven by early season warming. Despite this advancement, the earlier start did not result in increased annual growth. On the contrary, total annual growth significantly declined in three species—
