Cosmopolitan Scolytinae: strong common drivers but too many singularities for accurate prediction

The paper quantifies mobility of cosmopolitan scolytine beetles and identifies biological drivers of their spread and impact.

Tree diversity and density affect damage caused by the invasive pest Cameraria ohridella in urban areas

The paper shows that higher tree diversity and canopy cover in urban areas increase leafminer abundance and damage but also raise parasitism rates without reducing leaf area damage.

Higher aboveground carbon stocks in mixed-species planted forests than monocultures - a meta-analysis

This study finds mixed-species planted forests store more aboveground carbon than monocultures, with higher carbon stocks in more diverse mixtures.

Meta-analysis of tree diversity effects on the abundance, diversity and activity of herbivores' enemies

This study conducts a meta-analysis of 65 publications to assess how tree diversity affects natural enemies' abundance, diversity, and activity in forest ecosystems.

Tree diversity effects on forest productivity: disentangling the effects of tree species addition vs. substitution

This paper compares tree species substitution and addition effects on productivity in mixed stands, finding substitution increases productivity while addition does not.

Host-mediated, cross-generational intraspecific competition in a herbivore species

The paper shows that early herbivory by box tree moth females reduces the performance of their offspring on previously damaged plants, revealing time-lagged intraspecific competition.

Insect herbivory on urban trees: Complementary effects of tree neighbours and predation

The paper examines how tree diversity and predator activity influence insect herbivory on urban trees, finding that higher diversity and predation reduce herbivory.

Biotic and abiotic drivers of soil microbial functions across tree diversity experiments

This study examines how tree diversity and environmental factors influence soil microbial functions across global experiments, finding that abiotic factors like soil water content are more significant than tree diversity in the short term.

Growth and mortality of the oak processionary moth, Thaumetopoea processionea L., on two oak species: direct and trait-mediated effects of host and neighbour species identity

This study examines how host and neighbor tree species affect the growth and mortality of oak processionary moth larvae on two oak species.
