Light and competition fail to explain seedling coexistence
The coexistence of forest tree species has often been linked to differences in their response to light availability during the regeneration stage. Van Couwenberghe et al. study natural regenerated shade-tolerant Fagus...

Sun/shade conditions and seedling recruitment in a cactus
Early life-history stages of cacti can benefit from the facilitative effects of nurse plants that reduce solar radiation and water stress. Miranda-Jácome et al. conduct a reciprocal transplant experiment, coupled with...
