Leaf longevity and structure, fruit mass and phenology in 52 cultivated varieties and wild accessions of olive

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Although phenology has long been recognized as a critical feature for the adaptation of organisms to their local environment, until recently, phenological events have seldom been considered in the broader context of trait‐based ecology.

The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

Renewal bud traits as a link between whole plant traits and herbaceous species phenology

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Overwintering below‐ground buds and organs determine spring regrowth of perennial herbs in temperate regions. This effect could also manifest further in the timing and duration of plant growth and flowering and has been documented in some species and organ types ...

Size variation of an herbivorous insect affects host plant damage: Mechanisms behind the effect

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Intraspecific trait variation can strengthen or weaken species interactions in ecological communities. A mechanistic understanding of how intraspecific variation affects species interactions will help identify general rules about when intraspecific variation strengthens

Extending plant water‐use strategies to flowers: Evidence from trait correlations across plant organs

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Despite the importance of flowers to plant fitness, it remains unclear whether flowers display ecophysiological strategies and how floral traits are associated with leaf economic traits.
