A test for Allee effects in the self-incompatible wasp-pollinated milkweed Gomphocarpus physocarpus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
It has been suggested that plants which are good colonizers will generally have either an ability to self-fertilize or a generalist pollination system. This prediction is based on the idea that these reproductive traits should confer resistance to Allee ...

Genomic Insights Into Species Delimitation and the Evolutionary History of Mimetic Aletis Moths (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) in the Afrotropics

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
We investigated the evolutionary history and species boundaries of diurnal Aletis moths in the Afrotropics using mitochondrial DNA and genome‐wide SNP data. Our results support five distinct species, with divergence dating back to 0.9 million years ago, influenced by climate‐driven isolation and habitat variation.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesEntomologia 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.
