Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest

Oikos, EarlyView.
Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

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.

Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

Oikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

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.

Seasonal variation of leaf functional traits in sub‐Arctic plants

Oikos, EarlyView.
Leaf functional traits are informative of plant fitness and functions in ecosystems. These functional traits and their variation across geographic extents are much studied but less is known about their temporal variation over a growing season. Here, we provide an analysis of the seasonal variation in six leaf functional traits of 11 sub‐Arctic vascular

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

Oikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...
