The paper assesses how four pioneer plant species can retain sand and form embryo dunes along an urbanized Belgian coast, showing vegetation can enhance natural dune development.

This study examines phenotypic plasticity in woodland strawberry genotypes across a latitudinal gradient, finding that plasticity varies by trait and is influenced by long-term temperature rather than precipitation.

The paper analyzes Common Toad population trends in Flanders over four decades and finds no significant link between population decline and surrounding landscape characteristics.

This study examines how selection and genetic variation interact to influence rosette diameter and herbivore resistance in Fragaria vesca under different precipitation conditions across multiple sites.

The paper compiles a dataset of arthropod life histories and ecological traits to support conservation strategies and predict species vulnerability to environmental changes.

The paper examines covariation among dispersal, life history, and thermal niches in 4000 Western European arthropod species, identifying two trait syndromes linked to climate change adaptation potential.
