Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

Partitioning tree growth into light interception and use efficiencies clarifies the role of light competition in secondary forest succession

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
By decomposing tree growth into light interception and use efficiencies, this study reveals how light competition drives secondary forest succession. In young stands, the superior light capture of taller trees dominates, forcing rapid height stratification.

ForestForTrees: An R package to infer forest structure from remote sensing data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2052-2060, July 2026.
Abstract Estimating forest size‐abundance distributions is essential for understanding demographic processes and structural dynamics. Remote sensing provides broad coverage but often misses smaller trees hidden beneath the canopy, complicating inference of the full size distribution.

Methane Emissions Offsetting With Temporary Carbon Sinks

GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.
A time‐explicit framework based on atmospheric impulse–response functions quantifies the CO2 removal required to offset methane warming within 20 years. Constant, variable, and increasing carbon sinks each demand different removal masses, demonstrating that sink timing—not just permanence—determines the climate value of temporary carbon storage ...

Phylogenetic Structure and Environment Explain Body Size in North American Killifishes

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Investigate maximum‐length patterns in North American killifishes within an evolutionary macroecological framework by examining how body size evolved, how it varies across the geographic range, and how large‐scale environmental variables shape body‐size geography. Location North America.
