Plantago species are widespread in the Mediterranean and have potential applications in restoration of degraded or saline soils. This study examined germination responses of Plantago albicans, P. coronopus, and P. maritima from multiple Iberian populations under different temperature, osmotic stress, and salinity.

Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence. Particularly, generalist avian frugivores forage on them, co‐dispersing and co‐disseminating their seeds.

Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Exotic taxa dominate the urban woody flora, with potentially invasive species posing a direct risk to adjacent primary forest remnants. Historical management has favored a simplified, cosmopolitan species pool over regional biodiversity. There is failure to implement local native‐priority mandates, offering concrete ecological targets for urban ...

ABSTRACT Ecological interactions, such as plant–pollinator interactions, are fundamental to maintaining biodiversity and sustaining ecosystem functions. In tropical ecosystems, hummingbirds serve as key pollinators due to their specialized morphological traits, which facilitate plant–pollinator interactions.

Structural Colour in Bees (Hymenoptera: Anthophila) Is Linked to Climate and Latitude
ABSTRACT Aim Environmental drivers frequently predict global patterns of colour diversity, but whether such patterns depend on the underlying colour mechanisms—pigments or microscopic structures—has scarcely been considered. Structural colour may have different functional properties that result in different associations with environmental variables ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...
