New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Seed dormancy explains plant response to mass mortality events

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mass mortality events (MMEs) are large‐scale, rapid die‐offs resulting in extreme inputs of carrion biomass. Recent work demonstrates the effects of increasing carrion biomass on plant communities modulated by vertebrate scavengers and herbivores.

Heating up parasitoid–host interactions: High temperature increased mortality of late‐instar braconid larvae and reduced ladybird recovery rate

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract With ongoing climate change, temperature‐dependent outcomes of host–parasitoid interactions can affect ecosystem functioning and key ecosystem services such as biological control. However, most studies addressing the impacts of temperature on host–parasitoid systems are

Below‐ground drivers of rhizosphere functional gene assembly during Moso bamboo expansion

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) expansion threatens subtropical forest biodiversity, yet how intraspecific root trait variation shapes rhizosphere microbial functional potential remains unclear.

Species‐specific scents, targeted enemies: Volatile cues mediate predator attraction in willows

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in response to herbivory. Such signals mediate plant interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Different herbivores can elicit distinct responses in plants, influencing predator attraction.
