Plant–soil feedbacks are thought to mediate outcomes of plant competition through microbially driven positive or negative feedback loops. Plant–microbe interactions are known to depend on the underlying environmental context, yet most efforts to understand how plant–soil feedbacks mediate species coexistence have not considered these context dependencies. Here, we use modern coexistence theory to assess how this environmental...

Key message Radial grain patterns in young E. bosistoana trees are not random but are under genetic control and are correlated to other properties. Detailed high-resolution grain assessments match results from economical larger resolution techniques. Abstract Interlocked grain affects stem properties and timber value. Eucalyptus bosistoana is an emerging plantation species that is supported by a breeding programme, and which s...

Samples from multiple animals may be pooled and tested to reduce costs of surveillance for infectious agents in aquatic animal populations. The primary advantage of pooling is increased population‐level coverage when prevalence is low (

Under conditions of stress, shallow freshwater ecosystems can undergo a state change characterized by the rapid loss of macrophytes and subsequent dominance of phytoplankton. Elevated water temperature may promote such change. Here we report the impact of two warming regimes (continuous 3°C above ambient and 3°C above ambient during summer only), with two nutrient loadings and the presence or absence of fish, on 48 microcosm e...
