Parasitoids reduce growth rate in oak-feeding caterpillars Open
Koinobiont parasitoids have been shown to both reduce and increase the growth rate of caterpillars. However, no comprehensive study has been conducted on all caterpillar hosts of a given plant species. Moreover, most of the existing case s…

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible Open
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesiz…

Why Some Habitat Types Are Locally Much More Species‐Rich Than Others: Ongoing Assembly of Species Produced by Long and Rapid Macroevolutionary Diversification Open
Aim Species richness of local communities is often considered to be disconnected from the macroevolutionary diversification of lineages operating at much larger spatiotemporal scales. However, local communities occupy patches of habitat ty…

Adaptation to Leaf Traits of Individual Trees in a Forest Appears Rare in Caterpillars Open
High herbivore abundances on trees surrounded by distantly related neighbors (phylogenetic isolation) might in part be due to local adaptation of herbivores to host trees, but this has not been tested. We studied if free‐feeding and semi‐c…

Why oaks should stay with their close relatives: growing in a distantly related neighbourhood delays and reorganizes nutrient recycling during litter decomposition Open
Closely related species often conserve similar niches despite interacting negatively. We suggest that close relatives may interact positively via ecosystem feedbacks: leaf litter produced or exposed in a closely related neighbourhood (low …

Simulated Herbivory Induces Volatile Emissions of Oak Saplings, but Parasitoid Communities Vary Mainly Among Forest Sites Open
We know little about how parasitoids of herbivorous insects use herbivore-induced volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to locate potential hosts on saplings in forests, and how this depends on tree composition. Therefore, we performed an expe…

Decomposing drivers in avian insectivory: Large‐scale effects of climate, habitat and bird diversity Open
Aim Climate is a major driver of large‐scale variability in biodiversity, as a likely result of more intense biotic interactions under warmer conditions. This idea fuelled decades of research on plant‐herbivore interactions, but much less …

Plasticity in plant populations may be constrained by performance costs, complex environments and weakly integrated phenotypes Open
Background and Aims One response of plants to climate warming is plasticity of traits, but plasticity might come at a cost and might be limited by the integration among traits or by simultaneous shift of another environmental condition suc…

Why phylogenetic signal of traits is important in ecosystems: uniformity of a plant trait increases soil fauna, but only in a phylogenetically uniform vegetation Open
Phylogenetically closely related plant species often share similar trait states (phylogenetic signal), but local assembly may favor dissimilar relatives and thereby decouple the diversity of a trait from the diversity of phylogenetic linea…

Fewer chromosomes, more co‐occurring species within plant lineages: A likely effect of local survival and colonization Open
Premise Plant lineages differ markedly in species richness globally, regionally, and locally. Differences in whole‐genome characteristics (WGCs) such as monoploid chromosome number, genome size, and ploidy level may explain differences in …

What Drives Caterpillar Guilds on a Tree: Enemy Pressure, Leaf or Tree Growth, Genetic Traits, or Phylogenetic Neighbourhood? Open
Communities of herbivorous insects on individual host trees may be driven by processes ranging from ongoing development via recent microevolution to ancient phylogeny, but the relative importance of these processes and whether they operate…

Determinants of Diversity of Caterpillars, Leaf Miners, and Gallers on Individual Oak Trees in a Forest Open
The community of insect herbivores on individual host trees may depend on the history of the hosts—from ongoing ontogeny via recent microevolution to ancient phylogeny—but the relative importance of these scales remains unknown…

Herbivory on the pedunculate oak along an urbanization gradient in Europe: Effects of impervious surface, local tree cover, and insect feeding guild Open
Urbanization is an important driver of the diversity and abundance of tree‐associated insect herbivores, but its consequences for insect herbivory are poorly understood. A likely source of variability among studies is the insufficient cons…

Disturbed habitats locally reduce the signal of deep evolutionary history in functional traits of plants Open
Summary The functioning of present ecosystems reflects deep evolutionary history of locally cooccurring species if their functional traits show high phylogenetic signal (PS). However, we do not understand what drives local PS. We hypothesi…

Abundance, not diversity, of host beetle communities determines abundance and diversity of parasitoids in deadwood Open
Most parasites and parasitoids are adapted to overcome defense mechanisms of their specific hosts and hence colonize a narrow range of host species. Accordingly, an increase in host functional or phylogenetic dissimilarity is expected to i…

Seeds and seedlings of oaks suffer from mammals and molluscs close to phylogenetically isolated, old adults Open
Background and Aims Mammals and molluscs (MaM) are abundant herbivores of tree seeds and seedlings, but how the trees and their environment affect MaM herbivory has been little studied. MaM tend to move much larger distances during the fee…

Associational decomposition: After‐life traits and interactions among decomposing litters control during‐life aggregation of plant species Open
While species may coexist at population level, their individuals may still segregate, at least temporarily, and hence interact little. Aggregation among heterospecific individuals may require particular during‐life traits, for example, tra…
