Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Evidence of Ringtail Expansion Into Idaho, USA
Given more than 20 years of incidental sightings and multiple detections during our survey, it appears that ringtails have expanded their range northward into southern Idaho and could be considered a resident species in the state. ABSTRACT Ringtails (Bassariscus astutus) are widely distributed in the western United States and across much of Mexico, yet

Abstract Consumer–resource interactions can shift from exploitative to mutualistic when reciprocal benefits such as nutrient exchange offset the costs of damage or mortality, though these benefits are often difficult to detect. Carnivorous pitcher plants are typically viewed as exploiters of arthropod prey, yet most visitors escape capture and may gain
