Looking backward to move forward: Enhancing metadata in scientific collections through interdisciplinary collaboration

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Early modern herbaria house important and useful data on historic environments. However, their contents are often inhospitable to scientific use. Despite this challenge, once their contents have been deciphered, such specimens present novel research opportunities.

Alcoholic extracts of Russian sage (Salvia yangii) contain bioactive terpenoids with inhibitory activity against grapevine downy mildew (Plasmopara viticola)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Alcoholic extracts from flowers, leaves, and shoots of Russian sage decreased downy mildew severity on grapevine leaf disks. Fractionation followed by metabolomic analysis revealed putative terpenoids as the main components of the active fractions. Specifically, 7‐methylrosmanol, 12‐O‐methylcarnosic acid, carnosic acid, and carnosol were identified as ...

Anthropogenic nitrogen addition interrupts seasonal connectivity and structures of plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecological communities are stressed by rapid and complex anthropogenic changes, threatening the persistence of biotic interactions and ecosystem functioning. Plant–pollinator communities, for instance, undergo structural transformations as a result of land‐use change ...
