Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2974-2984, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

Microbial effects and home‐field advantage in holm oak (Quercus ilex) germination

Ecosphere
Germination is a critical process influenced by multiple abiotic and biotic factors and depends on the interaction between microorganisms and the environment. As plants select specific sets of microbes that evolve together in response to local conditions,

Plant Trait Matching Occurs in Facilitative Interactions Across Global Drylands

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Plant functional traits can influence interaction outcomes between nurse and target plants through a “functional trait match”, which occurs when the traits of nurse plants ameliorate their environment, and target plants possess traits that allow them to benefit from this ameliorated environment.

iEcology reveals the importance of geography and genetic makeup in the flowering phenology of invasive Carpobrotus taxa

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Scientists use social media to track the flowering of an invasive coastal plant across six countries. Photographs from Instagram, iNaturalist and Google Maps showed that Carpobrotus plants flower at different times based on location, not genetics. The invasive populations flower longer than native ones in South Africa, which may help explain their ...

Role of Sparsely Glacierized Basins and Groundwater in Semiarid Andes Periglacial Headwaters

Hydrological Processes, Volume 39, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study highlights for the first time the role of the Andean low‐glacierized headwater basin in providing significant water flow to the outlet discharge (20%–30%) with relatively long residence times (several decades). It can be explained by unknown permafrost bodies, which must be better characterized to manage water in a changing climate in ...
