TL;DR: A global analysis of 403 tropical and temperate tree species shows that for most species mass growth rate increases continuously with tree size, which means large, old trees do not act simply as senescent carbon reservoirs but actively fix large amounts of carbon compared to smaller trees.

TL;DR: A joint species distribution model (JSDM) is described that integrates these distinct observational approaches by incorporating species co-occurrence data into a SDM and takes into account the fact that distributions of species might be related to each other and thus overcome a major limitation of modelling species distributions independently.

TL;DR: This work combined traits from the leaf-height-seed strategy scheme (SLA, plant height and seed mass) with a distribution model for 20 eucalypt taxa in Victoria, Australia, finding evidence for complex yet potentially important interactions.

TL;DR: A new detectability model based on the time to detection of the first individual of a species, which provides a way to scale detection rates to cases of low abundance when direct estimation of detection rates is often impractical.

TL;DR: Using environmental flows to reinstate mid-range floods and augmenting the propagule supply of native species with characteristics suitable for modified conditions may help limit invasion in riparian wetlands most impacted by flow regulation.
