Bird occurrence and trophic interactions vary across gradients of tree diversity and microclimate in a planted forest

The paper examines how tree diversity and microclimate affect bird occurrence and trophic interactions in planted forests, finding that cooler, more diverse plots support bird specialists and alter herbivory patterns.

Microbial partners drive legume trait plasticity and tripartite interaction outcomes under combined stress environments

This study shows that different rhizobial strains affect legume responses to drought and herbivory, altering plant traits and herbivore growth through tripartite interactions.
