‘I like to dance with the flowers!’: Exploring the possibilities for biodiverse futures in an urban forest school

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This article explores the ways in which ‘forest school’, an educational approach where children engage in creative and play based activities in a ‘natural’ environment, can contribute towards Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15) by promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and by helping address biodiversity loss. Drawing on data

Evolutionary and environmental determinants of heat tolerance and acclimation capacity in herpetofauna

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exploring heat tolerance and acclimation capacity can provide an effective approach to evaluating species’ sensitivity to extremely high temperatures due to climate warming. Despite some work on amphibian and reptile thermophysiological adaptation, related questions remain. We reviewed the literature to provide a synthesis of worldwide data on

Control of Woolly Apple Aphid (Eriosoma lanigerum) by Augmenting Earwigs (Forficula auricularis) in the Canopy of Apple Trees

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Apple trees provisioned with five earwigs and a refuge made a small but not significant contribution to woolly apple aphid control. ABSTRACT Woolly apple aphid, Eriosoma lanigerum (Hausmann), is a damaging pest of apple (Malus domestica F.) found in most regions of the world where apples grow.

Complex interactions in ant–plant mutualisms: The role of multiple ant food resources in mediating plant defence, pollination and fitness in a tropical shrub

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Our results show that ants reduced leaf herbivory on plants offering both EFN and trophobiotic insects. Although ants did not directly affect pollinator behaviour, leaf herbivory in plants hosting treehoppers indirectly influenced pollination by reducing both visit duration and frequency.
