Decomposing drivers in avian insectivory: large-scale effects of climate, habitat and bird diversity

The paper investigates how climate, habitat, and bird diversity influence avian insectivory across Europe, finding that bird predation is affected by climate and habitat independently of bird diversity.

Widespread latitudinal asymmetry in marginal population performance

The paper tests if high-latitude margin populations perform better than low-latitude ones under climate change, finding low-latitude margins perform worse across species and habitats.

Genetic signatures of divergent selection in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) are associated with the variation in temperature and precipitation across its distribution range

Search for top-down and bottom-up drivers of latitudinal trends in insect herbivory in oak trees in Europe

The paper investigates latitudinal trends in insect herbivory on oak trees in Europe, finding that climatic factors, not latitude, best predict herbivory and leaf chemistry variation.

Leaf chemical defences and insect herbivory in oak: accounting for canopy position unravels marked genetic relatedness effects

The paper examines how tree genetic relatedness affects leaf chemical defenses and insect herbivory in oak trees, finding that canopy position significantly influences these relationships.

Greater capacity to exploit warming temperatures in northern populations of European beech is partly driven by delayed leaf senescence

The study identifies temperature as the main driver of leaf senescence in European beech and predicts changes in growing season length under climate change.

Maternal effects and environmental filtering shape seed fungal communities in oak trees

The paper examines how maternal effects and environmental factors influence fungal communities in oak seeds across elevation gradients.

Drivers of individual oak tree selection by acorn dispersing animals inferred from a genotyped seedling cohort

The paper investigates factors influencing acorn dispersal success in oak trees using genotyped seedlings and Bayesian parentage analysis, finding crop size and neighborhood fruiting oaks are key predictors.

Insect herbivory and avian insectivory in novel native oak forests: divergent effects of stand size and connectivity

This study examines how the size and connectivity of newly established oak stands affect insect herbivory and avian insectivory in rural landscapes.

Range-wide variation in local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of fitness-related traits in Fagus sylvatica and their implications under climate change

The paper quantifies local adaptation and phenotypic plasticity of growth and survival traits in Fagus sylvatica across its range and estimates their contribution to species distribution under climate change.
