Functionally diverse stands promote leaf litter decomposition irrespective of litter species' resource acquisition strategy

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 706-719, March 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Stand functional diversity (RaoQ) and stand functional composition in terms of the functional traits of the component species (CWM trait) are critical for ecosystem processes and functioning, such as litter decomposition and associated nutrient cycling.

Seasonal body mass dynamics mediate life‐history trade‐offs in a hibernating mammal

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 383-396, March 2026.
We tested a suite of ecological hypotheses to explain variation in seasonal body mass dynamics of a fat‐storing mammalian hibernator. We further demonstrated that pre‐hibernation mass gain in ground squirrels mediates an annual allocation trade‐off between current and future reproduction as the squirrels forage and rear young under predation risk ...

Trade‐offs across life history stages and social association types shape winter communal roosting in a long‐lived raptor

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 430-442, March 2026.
Our study demonstrates how life history trade‐offs and pair bonds influence winter roosting in red kites. Analysing long‐term GPS data from 216 individuals, we reveal marked behavioural plasticity in communal roosting: young, non‐breeding males are most likely to join communal roosts, whereas breeding pairs predominantly roost together near their ...

Bright and Long: Day Length Modulates the Phenology of Two Myrtaceae Species in Upper Montane Mixed Ombrophilous Forest

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Upper Montane Mixed Ombrophilous Forest is a humid montane ecosystem characterised by cold winters and a rich Myrtaceae flora. We investigated the vegetative and reproductive phenology of Myrceugenia euosma (O. Berg) D. Legrand and Siphoneugena reitzii D.

Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Processes Jointly Explain Mesopredator Movement and Foraging Ecology

Ecology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study integrates top‐down (polar bear habitat selection) and bottom‐up (fish distribution) processes to test how mesopredators (ringed seals) balance risk–reward tradeoffs in habitat selection. Ringed seals reduced their space use and foraging time in response to predation risk, yet accepted higher risk when prey diversity was elevated ...

Modeling Phenotypic Trait Variation and Plasticity in Elymus elymoides to Guide Climate‐Informed Seed Transfer

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Information on climate‐associated phenotypic variation is essential for sourcing seed that matches restoration site conditions. Spatially explicit seed transfer models can effectively deliver this information. However, standard modeling approaches often do not provide flexibility for practical considerations and may not capture highly complex ...
