Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Human–elephant conflict situations continue to be a growing conservation issue. Conflict situations typically arise as the result of elephants traversing places with infrastructure where they become disruptive to human activities. Developing passive options for managing elephant movement and reducing human–elephant conflict situations is a conservation

Climate explains global functional trait variation in bees
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate is a fundamental driver of macroecological patterns in functional trait variation. However, many of the traits that have outsized effects on thermal performance are complex, multi‐dimensional, and challenging to quantify at scale.

Impacts of a fungicide and an insecticide on pollinator visitation and wildflower fitness
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pesticide use has become widespread around the globe, and mounting evidence has demonstrated health impacts on non‐target insects such as bees. However, less is known about whether the presence of these chemicals in plant tissue can alter interactions between plants ...

Pollenkitt is associated with the collectability of Malvoideae pollen for corbiculate bees
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2023 Pollen grains of Malvoideae (Malvaceae) which corbiculate bees cannot collect constitute a floral filter that excludes pollen-collecting bumble bees and honey bees from exploiting pollen resources.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Campanula flowers (Campanulaceae) are visited by generalist and specialist bees of different families. While generalists rely on common volatiles within the floral scent of Campanula, specialist Megachilidae mainly use unusual spiroacetals for host flower recognition ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, EarlyView.Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species
Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...
