Heavy metal pollution enhances pathogen resistance of an invasive plant species over its native congener

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1096-1111, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Many invasive plant species have demonstrated a better ability to tolerate and accumulate heavy metals than their co‐occurring native plants. Given the potential biological toxicity of heavy metals to phytopathogens, we postulated that heavy metal contamination could ...

Small‐sized soil organisms drive the legacy of soil addition in a degraded grassland

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 1031-1045, April 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants can alter the abiotic and biotic components of the soil ecosystem, and this can result in soil legacies that facilitate or inhibit the growth of succeeding plants.

Variation in root hair traits in 75 xerophytic species: Constraints of phylogeny, trait trade‐offs and environment

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Root hairs play an important role in the acquisition of soil resources by increasing the absorptive surface area. Yet, key factors driving the variation of root hair traits across different species along biogeographic gradients are still poorly quantified, limiting our understanding of the functional relevance of root hairs.

Marine‐derived nutrients shape the functional composition of High Arctic plant communities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Low temperatures and nutrient limitation have shaped Arctic plant communities, which are now affected by biome‐wise changes in both climate and nutrient cycling. Rising temperatures are favouring taller plant species with more resource‐acquisitive traits across the ...

Variation of seedling recruitment in wet meadow species over 6 years: Positive effects of mowing and negative effects of fertilization

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Germination and seedling recruitment are stages of the plant life cycle, which are highly sensitive to biotic and abiotic filtering. Simultaneously, seedling regeneration is considered crucial for biodiversity maintenance in grasslands and is strongly affected by ...

Gender composition at work and women's career satisfaction: An international study of 35 societies

Human Resource Management Journal, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 397-427, April 2025.
Abstract Drawing from status characteristics theory, we develop a multilevel model to explain the relationships between gender composition (e.g., female‐female supervisor‐subordinate dyads, a female majority at the next higher level, and a female majority at the same job level) in the workplace and women's career satisfaction.

Assessing the role of habitat, climate, and anthropization gradients on terrestrial mammal diversity in the western Mediterranean basin

Integrative Zoology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 485-503, May 2025.
This study investigates the impact of landscape features and human influence on terrestrial mammal diversity in the Mediterranean basin using 300 camera traps across 28 sites. Contrary to expectations, landscape heterogeneity and anthropization did not correlate with mammal diversity.

The accuracy of predicting maladaptation to new environments with genomic data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 4, May 2025.
Abstract Rapid environmental change poses unprecedented challenges to species persistence. To understand the extent that continued change could have, genomic offset methods have been used to forecast maladaptation of natural populations to future environmental change.

Pimps, Star Chambers, Ratbags, and Westphalians: The Rhetoric of Reaction and Racial Discrimination in Australia, 1975–1995

Australian Journal of Politics &History, EarlyView.
Australian public debates about race have featured intense contests about free speech and identity, including about the federal Racial Discrimination Act (RDA). While these developments may be understood as reflecting the contemporary ascendency of “culture war” politics, they may in fact follow a familiar pattern of political contestation around ...

Contents of deposits from the archaeological site of Sobolów in Bochnia—A contribution to prehistoric foundry activity

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract In the Sobolów area, three hoards of the Hallstatt period were discovered, containing ornaments, waste and scrap of tin–lead–bronze alloy, with iron objects in close proximity, possibly indicating the existence of a foundry workshop. They were accompanied by glass beads, an indicator of the settlement of the Lusatian EB‐Ha Culture, found ...
