Liebl.). The sensitivity to high temperature was inferred from F0T curves producing the critical temperature (Tc ) at which a rapid rise in ground chlorophyll a ﬂuorescence (F0) occurs. Tc is known to acclimate to moderately increased ambient temperature by displaying signiﬁcant increases. • We ﬁrst checked whether acclimation of Tc was paralleled by an increase in optimal temperature for light driven electron ﬂux (Topt ,), recorded by measuring quantum yield of photochemistry under saturating CO2 and moderate irradiance. Saplings of Q. suber and Q. canariensis were submitted to four, ﬁve days long ambient temperature steps (15, 25, 35 and 15 ◦ C again). Tc was usually largely above 45 ◦ C while Topt was around 30–35 ◦ C. Both increased with ambient temperature in the two species, and decreased again when temperature returned to the initial values. This recovery was nevertheless not complete after a week at 15 ◦ C. • A second experiment tested whether the plasticity of Tc was of the same extent in the ﬁve species. A signiﬁcant increase of Tc followed by a decrease was detected in all species. Only small inter-speciﬁc diﬀerences were detected in Tc , and temperature induced plasticity was similar in the diﬀerent species: Tc increased by about 4–5 ◦ C while ambient temperature was increased from 15 to 35 ◦ C. Mediterranean and European oaks did not diﬀer in this respect. • This result does not support the hypothesis that oak species from warmer regions would display a larger plasticity of Tc in response to increasing temperatures.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pons, Josep</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pausas, Juli G.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Not only size matters: Acorn selection by the European jay (Garrulus glandarius)</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Oecologica</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acorn selection</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Garrulus glandarius</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mediterranean oak forests</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Mutualism</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus coccifera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus faginea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Regeneration</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1146609X0700015X</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">31</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">353 - 360</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A strong selection for acorn characteristics is expected to have evolved in the mutualistic relationship between the European jay (Garrulus glandarius) and the oak (Quercus spp.). Bossema’s pioneer work suggested that jays do not select acorns randomly, but rather they preferentially select some size and species. Preference for some seeds over others may have implications on plant community dynamics by conferring advantages (or disadvantages) on the selected (avoided) seed characteristics. In this paper we test to what extent jays select acorns by species and/or by size and the relation between these two traits in Mediterranean oak species. The experiments consist of a set of ﬁeld tests in which acorns from four different coexisting Mediterranean oak species (Quercus ilex, Quercus faginea, Quercus suber, and Quercus coccifera) were placed in artiﬁcial feeders accessible to wild jays. The acorns were previously measured to control individual acorn characteristics. Using video-recording techniques, we followed jay activity and the fate of each acorn (sequence of acorn selection and method of transport). Q. ilex acorns were preferred over other acorns, and Q. coccifera acorns were avoided when other acorns were available. Preference for Q. faginea and Q. suber acorns was intermediate, that is, they were preferred over Q. coccifera acorns but not over Q. ilex acorns. Large acorns were also preferred although acorn species selection was stronger than size selection. Jays selected species and size both by visual means and by using acorn area as an indicator of size. Acorns wider than 17–19 mm were carried in the bill because of throat limitation. Our results conﬁrm Bossema’s study on temperate oaks and extend it to Mediterranean oak species, revealing implications on mixed oak forest dynamics.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pons, Josep</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Pausas, Juli G.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rodent acorn selection in a Mediterranean oak landscape</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ecological Research</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Apodemus sylvaticus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus coccifera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Removal rates</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Retrieval distances</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Size selection</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2006///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11284-006-0053-5</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">22</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">535 - 541</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber, Quercus ilex and Quercus coccifera (Cork, Holm and Kermes oaks, respectively) are common evergreen oak species that coexist in the landscapes of the western part of the Mediterranean basin. Rodents are the main acorn predators and thus one of the main factors for understanding recruitment patterns in oaks. In this paper we analyse to what extent mice prefer acorns from one oak species over another in three oak species studied using acorn removal experiments and video tape recordings. Twenty labelled acorns from each of the three Quercus species (60 acorns) were placed in 40 cm·40 cm quadrats on each plot. Because selection might vary as a result of the vegetation context, we performed the trials in the ﬁve main vegetation types within the study area (four replicates in each vegetation type) in order to control for habitat inﬂuences on rodent acorn preferences (a total of 20 plots). The removal of 1,200 acorns occurred within 68 days. Mice removed 98.7% of the acorns. Q. ilex acorns were preferred over Q. suber and Q. coccifera in all vegetation types except in pine forest, where no acorn preferences were detected. Acorn removal rates diﬀered with vegetation type, correlating positively with shrub cover. The distance at which acorns were displaced by rodents (mean =4.6 m±5.1 SD) did not diﬀer between acorn species, but varied among vegetation types. Bigger acorns of Q. coccifera were selected only after Q. ilex and Q. suber acorns were depleted, while no size selection was detected for the latter two species. Thus, we conclude that rodents show preference for some oak acorns and that landscape context contributes signiﬁcantly to rodent activities and decisions.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tsakaldimi, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Zagas, T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Tsitsoni, T.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ganatsas, P.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Root Morphology, Stem Growth and Field Performance of Seedlings of Two Mediterranean Evergreen Oak Species Raised in Different Container Types</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Plant and Soil</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">container seedlings</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">outplanting performance</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus coccifera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">root morphology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">stem growth</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2005///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.springerlink.com/index/10.1007/s11104-005-2580-1</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">278</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">85 - 93</style></pages><isbn><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1110400525801</style></isbn><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Outplanting container-grown oak seedlings with undesirable shoot and root characteristics result in poor establishment and reduced ﬁeld growth. The objective of this study was to determine the inﬂuence of container type on both above-and below-ground nursery growth and ﬁeld performance of one-year old taprooted seedlings Quercus ilex L. and Quercus coccifera L. The experiment was conducted in an open-air nursery and the seedlings were grown in three container types. At the end of the nursery, growth period seedlings shoot height, diameter (5 mm above root collar), shoot and root biomass, root surface area, root volume and total root length were assessed. Then the seedlings were planted in the ﬁeld and their survival and growth were recorded for two growing seasons after outplanting. The results showed a diﬀerence between the Quercus species in the eﬀect of container type. Q. ilex seedlings raised in paper-pot had signiﬁcantly greater height, diameter, shoot and root biomass and root volume than those raised in the other two container types. Similarly, Q. coccifera seedlings raised in paper-pot, had signiﬁcantly greater above-and below-ground growth than those raised in the other two container types. Both oak species showed relatively low survival in the ﬁeld; the mortality was mainly observed the ﬁrst year after outplanting, especially after the summer dry period. However, 2 years after outplanting, the paper-pot seedlings of the two oak species showed better ﬁeld performance.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-2</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cortet, Jérôme</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Poinsot-Balaguer, Nicole</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Collembola populations under sclerophyllous coppices in Provence (France): comparison between two types of vegetation, Quercus ilex L. and Quercus coccifera L.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Acta Oecologica</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Collembola</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">litter decomposition</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Phenology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus coccifera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus ilex</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1998///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1146609X98800477</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">19</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">413 - 424</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">A comparative analysis of soil Collembola using two types of sclerophyllous vegetation (Quercus ilex and Quercus cocc@ru) was performed at a calcareous site in Provence (France). Collembola populations were examined over a one-year period (1 I successive months) in three different soil layers. Although no statistically significant differences could be observed for Collembola abundance and diversity, multivariate analyses (FCA) differentiated the two coppices. Phenologies of some species showed specific responses to the microclimate induced by edaphic conditions. Even though the two coppices were sclerophyllous, the structure of each vegetation, the quantity and quality of litter, which were dif- ferent, could influence environmental conditions and thus the dynamics of collembolan populations.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">5</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rambal, S.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Damesin, C.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">JOFFRE, R.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Méthy, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lo Seen, D.</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Optimization of carbon gain in canopies of Mediterranean evergreen oaks</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ann.

There was a significant site effect on LMA with values being lower in mesic sites compared to those on xeric sites. In all canopies, LMA decreased by up to 50% from the top to the bottom. The relationships between cumulative leaf area index and LMA could be represented by an exponential function. For two canopies of Q ilex growing in contrasting environments, we analyzed the interrelationships among LMA, mass-based nitrogen, mass-based metabolic versus structural (total fiber) content, photosynthetic electron transport and carbon isotope composition. There was no difference in mass-based nitrogen or fiber content among upper and lower canopy positions in both locations. The maximum quantum yield of linear electron flow can be considered to be constant within the canopy. The area-based maximal electron transport rate and the carbon isotope composition were significantly linearly related to the LMA. Finally, we tested whether the observed depth-distribution follows the pattern suggested by some optimization theories.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2-3</style></issue></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>47</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">FERRAN, A.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SERRASOLSAS, I.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Vallejo, V.
