Methanolic extracts of the edible halophyte Crithmum maritimum enhance oxidative stress resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans through hormetic mechanisms

This study evaluates the antioxidant properties of methanolic extracts from Crithmum maritimum in C. elegans, showing hormetic effects on oxidative stress resistance and reactive oxygen species production.

Decomposing drivers in avian insectivory: large-scale effects of climate, habitat and bird diversity

The paper investigates how climate, habitat, and bird diversity influence avian insectivory across Europe, finding that bird predation is affected by climate and habitat independently of bird diversity.

Search for top-down and bottom-up drivers of latitudinal trends in insect herbivory in oak trees in Europe

The paper investigates latitudinal trends in insect herbivory on oak trees in Europe, finding that climatic factors, not latitude, best predict herbivory and leaf chemistry variation.

Leaf chemical defences and insect herbivory in oak: accounting for canopy position unravels marked genetic relatedness effects

The paper examines how tree genetic relatedness affects leaf chemical defenses and insect herbivory in oak trees, finding that canopy position significantly influences these relationships.

Growth and mortality of the oak processionary moth, Thaumetopoea processionea L., on two oak species: direct and trait-mediated effects of host and neighbour species identity

This study examines how host and neighbor tree species affect the growth and mortality of oak processionary moth larvae on two oak species.
