Mycorrhizal symbiosis and environmental conditions shape understory herb diversity in a large temperate forest region

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Understorey herbaceous plants are a vital component of forest biodiversity in temperate forests. However, the mechanisms underlying their community assembly and species coexistence remain poorly understood.

Decreasing water availability reduces productivity in Swiss forests along an altitudinal gradient

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Forests are one of the most important terrestrial carbon sinks, but are increasingly under pressure due to drought, heat and the occurrence of extreme events. There are opposing longer term trends for European forest growth reported, and severe drought and disturbance ...

Apex predators exploit advantageous snow conditions across hunting modes

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Advantageous snow conditions—in terms of snow depth and density—are among the most important features of the winter landscape for two apex predators, regardless of hunting strategy. In a warming climate, the knock‐on effects of a diminishing snowpack may reduce the hunting success of multiple large carnivore species.

Season and human footprint weaken the negative effect of temperature on the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of wild brown trout populations

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We apply a new parameterized model through linking metabolic scaling and the maximum entropy theory of ecology to quantify the intraspecific metabolic scaling exponent of brown trout populations and assess the main drivers shaping the exponent. Abstract Metabolic scaling fundamentally sets the pace of life in almost all organisms.
