Losers and winners: responses of grassland arthropods to land‐use components

open access: yesOikos, 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 ...

Recruitment probability in a large carnivore: the role of biological and human‐related factors in early‐life

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
To reach reproduction, individuals must survive the juvenile stage, a critical period of low survival rates in large carnivores. Early‐life conditions during this stage can have lasting effects on survival, reproductive maturation, growth, physiology and behaviour. We assessed recruitment probability in Scandinavian wolves, i.e.

Latitude‐specific responses of European birds' population growth rates to temperature and water availability

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Climate limits distribution of species and shows considerable regional variability. However, studies relating climate variation to species population growth rates in different climatic zones while accounting for species' ecological traits are scarce.

Predator density outweighs experimental warming effects on short‐term carbon and nitrogen loss from arctic shrub litter

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Rapid climate change in the Arctic is altering biological communities and their subsequent effects on ecosystem functioning. For example, warming‐induced shrub expansion accelerates biogeochemical cycles in part by increasing high‐quality litter inputs.
