Garden, greenhouse, or climate chamber? Experimental conditions influence whether genetic differences are phenotypically expressed

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Expression of genetic differences depends on the experimental environment as seen in flowering time differences between ancestors and descendants that emerge in climate chambers but not in greenhouse or garden conditions. Abstract Common‐environment experiments are important to study genetically based phenotypic variation within and among plant ...

Semi‐Quantitative Monitoring of Plant‐Arthropod Interactions by eDNA Metabarcoding of Individual Flowers and Leaves

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Terrestrial eDNA analysis is currently revolutionizing our ability to monitor arthropod plant interactions. But while the approach has been shown to accurately recover arthropod communities which interacted with a flower, its quantitative capabilities are limited.

Nectar Robbery by Native and Invasive Bumblebees Reduces Floral Rewards but Not Seed Production in Desfontainia fulgens

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
We evaluated nectar robbery by native and invasive bumblebees in the hummingbird‐pollinated shrub Desfontainia fulgens in southern Chile. Nectar robbery strongly reduced nectar standing crop and altered floral visitation patterns, but these proximate effects did not translate into reduced seed production under natural pollination conditions.

Habitat and forage associations of a naturally colonising insect pollinator, the tree bumblebee Bombus hypnorum.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Bumblebees (Bombus species) are major pollinators of commercial crops and wildflowers but factors affecting their abundance, including causes of recent population declines, remain unclear.

On the nomenclature of Bombus flavifrons Smith, 1866 (Hymenoptera, Apidae, Bombini) [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Hymenoptera Research
The name Bombus flavifrons has been applied to two different bumble bee species in North America, one described by Ezra Cresson in 1863, the other by Frederick Smith in 1866.

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.
