Plant population density is an important variable in agronomy and forestry and offers an
experimental way to better understand plant–plant competition. We made a meta‐analysis of …

Plant immunity is modulated by several abiotic factors, and microbiome has emerged as a
major biotic driver of plant resistance. Recently, a few studies showed that plants also modify …

More than ever, ecologists seek to employ herbarium collections to estimate plant functional
traits from the past and across biomes. However, many trait measurements are destructive …

Species dissimilarity (beta diversity) primarily reflects the spatio–temporal changes in the
species composition of a plant community. The correlations between β diversity and …

Zoochory is fundamental for habitat colonization by plants with large and heavy seeds, such
as Araucaria angustifolia. Recruitment by this endangered South American conifer is heavily …

Outbreaks of defoliating insects in low‐diversity tropical forests occur infrequently but
provide valuable insights about outbreak ecology in temperate environments and in general …

Where interspecific facilitation favors the establishment of high densities of a beneficiary
species, strong intraspecific competition may subsequently impede beneficiary performance …

Intensive agricultural crop production is typically associated with low biodiversity. Low
biodiversity is associated with a deficit of ecosystem services, which may limit crop yield (eg …

Herbivorous insects from diverse feeding guild cause defoliation with different intensity and
dissimilar tissue effects. We studied the effects on water relations and morpho-structural and …

Plant–plant interactions change in response to environmental conditions, and riparian
species are commonly influenced by flooding. This study tested whether flooding affects the …
