Ants at plant wounds - A little-known trophic interaction with evolutionary implications for ant-plant interactions

Abstract:
Extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) allow plants to engage in mutualisms with ants preventing herbivory in exchange for food. EFNs occur scattered through the plant phylogeny and likely evolved independently from herbivore-created wounds subsequently vis...

Assessing tree dendrometrics in young regenerating plantations using terrestrial laser scanning

Abstract:
Context Terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) provides a valuable tool for the retrieval of detailed individual-tree structural parameters, but has never previously been applied to young stands under field conditions. Aims The aim was to explore t...

A Unique Nest-Protection Strategy in a New Species of Spider Wasp

Abstract:
Hymenoptera show a great variation in reproductive potential and nesting behavior, from thousands of eggs in sawflies to just a dozen in nest-provisioning wasps. Reduction in reproductive potential in evolutionary derived Hymenoptera is often faci...

Biodiversity Promotes Tree Growth during Succession in Subtropical Forest

Abstract:
Losses of plant species diversity can affect ecosystem functioning, with decreased primary productivity being the most frequently reported effect in experimental plant assemblages, including tree plantations. Less is known about the role of biodiv...

Can niche plasticity promote biodiversity-productivity relationships through increased complementarity?

Abstract:
Most experimental biodiversity-ecosystem functioning research to date has addressed herbaceous plant communities. Comparably little is known about how forest communities will respond to species losses, despite their importance for global biogeoc...
