Oikos, EarlyView.Phenological shifts caused by climate change are increasingly documented in wild populations. These events may be inferred by examining changes in population abundance and age structure throughout the breeding season, often using citizen science. However, several gaps still limit optimal use of such data.

Multiple scales of fear: foraging behaviour of white‐naped jays in semiarid landscapes
Oikos, EarlyView.Animals must constantly balance the need to find resources with the risk of predation. Not only avoiding direct encounters with predators but also assessing the overall risk of their environment using cues, social information or habitat traits at multiple spatial and temporal scales.

Aromatic plants, nest bacterial diversity, and nestling condition in Corsican blue tits
Oikos, EarlyView.According to the ‘nest protection hypothesis', some passerines incorporate fresh aromatic plants into their nests which reduce pathogens that can negatively affect nestlings. We experimentally evaluated the effect of five aromatic plant species on the nest bacterial microbiota of Corsican blue tits Cyanistes caeruleus.

Floral resource diversity drives spatiotemporal variation in plant–pollinator network structure
Oikos, EarlyView.Mechanisms underlying community assembly, including those related to species interactions, vary across space and time. Plant–pollinator networks exemplify these dynamics, where link rewiring and turnover mediate adaptations to environmental changes. Bees rely on diverse floral resources (e.g.

Contrasting effects of temperature across trophic levels in geothermally warmed soil food webs
Oikos, EarlyView.Global warming is altering the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, with significant consequences for soil food webs. Rising temperatures are expected to accelerate metabolic rates in organisms, potentially altering species interactions, and the structure and energetics of food webs.

The effects of single versus successive warm summers on an intertidal community
Oikos, EarlyView.To accurately predict how organisms and ecological communities will respond to future conditions caused by climate change, we must consider the temporal dynamics of environmental stressors, including the effects of repeated exposures to stress. We performed a two‐year passive thermal manipulation in coastal British Columbia, Canada to determine how ...
