Researchers challenged longhorn crazy ants and humans with the same task: maneuvering a T-shaped object through two consecutive open doorways. Single humans always outperformed single ants, but ant groups could beat human groups. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Happy #solstice! Today, beech trees start to decide whether to produce bumper seed crops next year, or to skip reproduction next year. It is a marker for growth and phenology processes. @micbog.bsky.social talked to The Guardian about how it works:

1/3: New paper: how do masting plants optimise the delay in reproduction? Having gaps (years) between reproductive events starves seed predators, increasing fitness. But they are also missed opportunities for reproduction. How do plants fine-tune the length of the time gaps to maximise fitness?

We propose intensifying livestock predation on infested acorns by allowing earlier livestock foraging. This management strategy would increase the availability of acorns, boosting farm capacity.

Breeding populations were younger in years that followed a higher beech crop 🌳🌳 – fitting evidence that this increases juvenile survival - and the relationship between masting and age structure was stronger when only assessing populations local to beech data collection. 5/n

Warmer summers are causing European beeches to produce seed more often, depleting the trees’ stored resources—an indirect effect of climate change that is threatening the sustainability of Europe’s most widespread forest tree. In PNAS: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Our new @pnas.org paper shows a previously unrecognized mechanism by which climate warming reduces beech growth: more frequent seed production depletes tree resources, causing a 28% decline in radial growth.

Highlights
The fossil record suggests that climate change was the major driver of plant extinctions and regional extirpations from the Pliocene until recently, when anthropogenic habitat loss became dominant.
Known recent plant extinctions are disproportionately few in comparison with well-studied animal taxa, but many more species are probably committed to inevitable extinction unless given targeted support.
Recent warm-edge extirpations demonstrate the growing impact of anthropogenic climate change and show that predictions of massive climate-driven extinctions later this century are plausible.
The proximate causes for population extirpations are still rarely known but are likely to be highly varied and both species and location specific."

Hi Miles, yes we belive that they use photoperiod to "find" the date. It looks like beech might be tracking day length and once it starts to decrease, the tree starts to measure temperature.
