Global patterns of tree density are contingent upon local determinants in the world’s natural forests
(Springer Nature, 2023)
Previous attempts to quantify tree abundance at global scale have largely neglected the role of local competition in modulating the influence of climate and soils on tree density. Here, we evaluated whether mean tree size ...

Widespread latitudinal asymmetry in the performance of marginal populations: A meta-analysis
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2023-06)
Aim: Range shifts are expected to occur when populations at one range margin perform better than those at the other margin, yet no global trend in population performances at range margins has been demonstrated empirically ...

Which features at home make a plant prone to become invasive?
(Pensoft Publishers, 2023-07-05)
Determining the factors that pre-adapt plant species to successfully establish and spread outside of their native ranges constitutes a powerful approach with great potential for management. While this source-area approach ...

Intraspecific variability of leaf form and function across habitat types
(Wiley, 2024-02-19)
Trait-based ecology has already revealed main independent axes of trait variation defining trait spaces that summarize plant adaptive strategies, but often ignoring intraspecific trait variability (ITV). By using empirical ...

Adaptive anti-predatory responses of European rabbits exposed to different predation pressure
(Springer Heidelberg, 2024-02-15)
Prey species develop anti-predatory strategies as a response to minimising the risk of being predated. However, how the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) adapts to different predator pressure is not fully known. Here, ...

A new HaCV-EBHSV recombinant lagovirus circulating in European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) from Catalonia, Spain
(Nature Publishing Group, 2024-02-04)
In 2020/2021, several European brown hare syndrome virus (EBHSV) outbreaks were recorded in European hares (Lepus europaeus) from Catalonia, Spain. Recombination analysis combined with phylogenetic reconstruction and ...

Flowering synchrony modulates pollinator sharing and places plant individuals along a competition–facilitation continuum
(Wiley, 2024-02-01)
Indirect interactions among species within ecological communities govern ecological and evolutionary processes as much as, or even more, than direct effects. In insect-pollinated plant communities, indirect interactions ...

Exploring the potential of topsoil pellets to improve native seedling establishment on degraded agricultural land
(Springer, 2024-03-08)
Background and aims Agricultural activities can degrade soils and promote weeds, posing challenges to native species restoration. In agricultural restoration, removing contaminated topsoil is a method designed to reduce ...
Artículo
Convergent evolutionary patterns of heterostyly across angiosperms support the pollination-precision hypothesis.
(Nature Publishing Group; Nature Portfolio, 2024-01-09)
Since the insights by Charles Darwin, heterostyly, a floral polymorphism with morphs bearing stigmas and anthers at reciprocal heights, has become a model system for the study of natural selection. Based on his archetypal ...

Exposure to Coxiella burnetii in Wild Lagomorphs in Spanish Mediterranean Ecosystems.
(MDPI, 2024-02-28)
Coxiella burnetii is an important zoonotic pathogen of worldwide distribution that can infect a wide range of wild and domestic species. The European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) can play a role as a reservoir for ...
