🐝 Individual pollinators are more specialized than expected, with niche partitioning and sex-based differences helping shape plant–pollinator networks from individuals to species👉️ https://t.co/r1xdpam9kF
🌳 Novel forest ecosystems reshape pollination and seed dispersal in central Portugal. Landscape complexity drives changes in connectivity, functional diversity, and interactions, with distinct effects across ecological processes👉️ https://t.co/buZXNWQAdK
🍃Canopy has 67% more herbivores than understorey — but not more leaf damage! Resource dilution decouples abundance from herbivory in beech forests. Vertical structure & woody plant diversity drive layer-specific effects 👉️ https://t.co/q25Uxv8IVP
🌳How do species adapt across environments? In Acacia tortilis, plasticity, more than trait means, diverges across the savanna to desert environmental gradient, with distant desert-edge populations converging in their plastic responses 👉️ https://t.co/77x8I9OLDJ
🌳Tree species in forests of the eastern U.S. respond to deviations in climate from local long-term means. Whether this reflects genetic adaptation or more rapid acclimation has significant effects on expected forest response to climate change👉️ https://t.co/ZSi4jiO03r
🌼A 12-year species-removal experiment in a Tibetan alpine meadow shows that biodiversity loss reshapes flowering phenology by advancing flowering, delaying senescence and extending flowering duration, mainly through competitive release👉️ https://t.co/5JbZjXtl4Y
🌱 Researchers measured offspring bulb size, number, and location for over 100 species of Oxalis and identified a size/number trade-off similar to that found in seeds and variation in traits of offspring produced from an individual plant👉️ https://t.co/fsVhhddgxI

🔥Fires increases precipitation use efficiency and the sensitivity of production to precipitation changes in the North American Great Basin. These effects are mediated through shifts in plant composition from shrub systems to annual dominated systems 👉️ https://t.co/TjQClb9ksC
🌳 Woodland landscapes with more edges and heterogeneous plots support higher specialist plant diversity, even when local edge effects are negative. Scale matters in fragmentation research 👉️ https://t.co/h3l1GyKckQ
