Optimizing the design of flower areas to enhance their effectiveness in supporting ground‐active predators: A meta‐analysis across Europe

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our meta‐analysis highlights the value of flower areas in supporting ground‐active predators, particularly in intensively managed landscapes dominated by crop fields. The strong positive effects observed in the Mediterranean warrant further investigation into underlying mechanisms.

Foliar herbivory pushes plant individuals towards the periphery of a plant–floral visitor interaction network

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
The authors demonstrate how the effects of herbivory on a key plant trait can cascade to shape the interactions between individual plants and their flower visitors and how the indirect effects between herbivores and pollinators can modulate the structure of interaction networks in terrestrial ecosystems.

Size isn't age: Decoupled and interacting effects of height and age on functional traits in grassland plants

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
Height and age are decoupled across‐ and within‐species in temperate dry grassland plants. Yet, these traits affect other plant functional traits – with highly species‐specific patterns and a widespread lack of trait coordination intraspecifically. The interaction between plant height and age is especially strong for resource‐use functional traits (e.g.

An integrative strategy used by the aphid Uroleucon formosanum to counter host sesquiterpene lactone defense: Insights from combined genomic and transcriptomic analysis

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
We report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly for the aphid Uroleucon formosanum, a serious pest that infests lettuce in eastern Asia. A combination of comparative genomic analyses and RNA‐seq transcriptome profiling suggests that U. formosanum employs integrative mechanisms to cope with host plant‐derived sesquiterpene lactone (STL)
