Anther mimicry in an African orchid pollinated by pollen‐feeding beetles

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Beetles chew the fleshy yellow tips of an orchid's petals and pollinate its flowers, representing a novel case of pollen‐seeking beetles being deceived through anther mimicry. Abstract Flowers of many species have yellow markings that appear to mimic anthers or pollen and attract the attention of pollen‐seeking insects (usually female bees).

Testing predictions of spatial segregation of the sexes and life‐history theory in three species of the dioecious genus Baccharis L. from southeastern Brazil

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Females and males of three dioecious shrub species of the genus Baccharis L. from southeastern Brazil show notable divergence in their conformity with life history tradeoff expectations, as measured by sex‐specific allocations to growth and reproduction and spatial distribution along an environmental gradient. Abstract I report results of a field study

Spread of Xylella fastidiosa in Majorca Island Agroecosystems: Interaction Between Insect Vectors, Woody Hosts and Bacterial Subspecies

open access: yesPlant Pathology, EarlyView.
Philaenus spumarius is the main vector of Xylella fastidiosa in Majorca, maintaining high infectivity on wild hosts and facilitating pathogen spread in almonds and vineyards. ABSTRACT Xylella fastidiosa (XF) is a gram‐negative bacterium naturally transmitted by xylem sap‐feeding insects that causes serious plant diseases.

Intraspecific trait variability in wild plant populations predicts neither variability nor performance in a common garden

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Dryland restoration requires plant materials capable of performing well despite difficult growing conditions. Selecting plant materials with higher intraspecific trait variability (ITV) may support successful outcomes by enhancing the performance of those materials in restoration settings.

Greater sage‐grouse habitat restoration with range management, revegetation, and herbicide

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Populations of Greater sage‐grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), an iconic symbol of sagebrush ecosystems, are declining in native grasslands due to habitat loss, degradation, and fragmentation. We conducted a field experiment in Grasslands National Park, Saskatchewan, Canada, to investigate how disturbance and land management (cattle grazed, bison ...
