New paper: local climate effects on weather cues triggering mast seeding in oaks and beech
The article about the effects of local climate on the correlation between weather and seed production in sessile oak (Quercus petraea) and European beech (Fagus sylvatica), co-authored by Jakub Szymkowiak, has been published in Agricultural and Forest Meteorology! Weather is believed to play a key role in triggering mast seeding in plants. However, while the relationships […]
New paper: weather, pollen, and masting in wind-pollinated trees
Recent Ecology paper co-authored by Jakub Szymkowiak from Pop Ecol Lab on system-specific roles of weather and pollination dynamics in driving seed production in European trees is now available online! Using a 19-year data set from three sites in Poland, the authors investigated the relationship between weather, airborn pollen, and seed production in two oak […]
New paper: Interspecific social information use in wood warblers
Our recent paper on interspecific social information use in wood warblers (Phylloscopus sibilatrix) is now available online! In a field experiment, we found that wood warblers use social cues from earlier-arriving migrant heterospecifics when deciding where to settle. In one of earlier studies, we also showed that wood warblers use conspecific social cues for settlement […]
