Effects of environmental and individual variation on time patterns of extinction in small experimental populations

Oikos, EarlyView.
Predicting the fate of small populations is essential in ecology, epidemiology and conservation biology. Small populations can go extinct quickly or can develop into large established populations. These can still go extinct through demographic stochasticity, especially when declines in mean population size or large size fluctuations drive them into an ...

Limited impacts of simulated soil disturbance by rewilded vertebrates on above‐ and below‐ground biodiversity

Oikos, EarlyView.
Rewilding with locally extinct terrestrial vertebrates has been a popular conservation initiative over the past few decades. Among the animals used for rewilding are the small‐ to medium‐sized vertebrates that forage in the soil and that have been lost from many ecosystems due to habitat destruction or predation by exotic species.

Lower competition in grasslands and higher facilitation in forests as potential drivers of the higher species richness of calcareous than siliceous communities

Oikos, EarlyView.
We tested the hypothesis that, in calcareous and siliceous ecosystems from the wet temperate climate of southwest France, competition primarily explains differences in community composition and species richness in grasslands but that facilitation is more determinant in forests. In a first experiment, we transplanted, in dry and wet years, grass species

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

Oikos, 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.

Long‐term nutrient addition and grazing exclusion determine flower abundance, diversity and community composition in high‐latitude grasslands

Oikos, EarlyView.
The abundance and composition of flowers within plant communities shape the resources available to flower‐visiting insects. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment and changes in grazing impact plant communities and their floral resources, and whether these effects contribute to ongoing pollinator decline. We investigated how the abundance,
