Beyond Single Invaders: Disentangling the Effects of Co‐Invading Alien Forbs on Sandy Old‐Fields

Journal of Vegetation Science, Volume 36, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Sandy old‐fields in Hungary are threatened by multiple invasive alien plant species. This study examines how the co‐invasion of Asclepias syriaca and Solidago spp. affect several aspects of community diversity and composition. The increased cover of Solidago significantly reduced species richness, while Asclepias cover had no detectable effect at the ...

Pharmacophagy in insects: Ecological and evolutionary perspectives on the non‐nutritional use of plant specialized metabolites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 7, Page 661-673, July 2025.
Insects interact with plants not only for nutrition but also to actively seek plant specialized metabolites (PSMs) for chemical defense, reproduction, and self‐medication—a behavior known as pharmacophagy. This review examines how insects across diverse orders acquire PSMs from both food and non‐food plants for non‐nutritional benefits.

Context dependence of grassland plant response to arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi: The influence of plant successional status and soil resources

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 6, Page 1397-1408, June 2025.
Overall greater responsiveness to arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi by late successional species is consistent with an important role of AM fungi in plant succession, even while AM fungi are less impactful overall in high P soils. However, the increase in responsiveness of below‐ground allocation of late successional species to AM fungi in low water ...

Natural products targeting tumour angiogenesis

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 10, Page 2094-2136, May 2025.
Abstract Tumour angiogenesis is the formation of new blood vessels to support the growth of a tumour. This process is critical for tumour progression and metastasis, making it an attractive approach to cancer therapy. Natural products derived from plants, animals or microorganisms exert anti‐angiogenic properties and can be used to inhibit tumour ...
