The ability of plants to tolerate freezing limits their geographical distribution. Therefore, winter warming may shift a species’ occurrence northwards and/or to higher altitudes. The hemiparasitic Viscum album album (European…
Common in North America and invasive in Europe Impatiens capensis lacked data on microstructure of seed coat. This gap was filled by collaborative work of scientists from Szczecin, Łódź and…
Seed coat micromorphology is useful for solving taxonomic problems in different plant groups, yet only about 200 of 1000 known Impatiens species has such studies done. New data on seed…
Another ecological story about the connection of “everything to everything”: climate change is having a negative impact on the breeding success of collared flycatcher through a cascade of further impacts.…
The loss of species diversity on a global scale is very well documented. However, as we show in our latest article, which has just been published in Nature Communications, local…
Together with lichenologists from Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce and University of Gdańsk, we have made an attempt to identify the ecological mechanisms shaping the patterns of co-occurrence of 313…
In nature, not only is “everything connected to everything,” as Humboldt wrote almost 200 years ago, but often these connections are feedback. In an article published in Functional Ecology https://doi.org/10.1111/1365-2435.13668…
We are pleased to announce that professor Bogdan Jaroszewicz has been nominated for the Polish Intelligent Development Award in the Scientist of the Future category. The award is related to…
The dense ceiling of tree crowns has a strong buffering effect on the microclimate of the forest floor, which delays the undergrowth response to climate warming. Unfortunately, the progressive warming…
