Meteorological versus spatial drivers of the spatial synchrony of forest insect pest outbreaks in North America

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Stability in tapia woodlands amid non‐native expansion: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge and remote sensing to track 73 years of tree cover in Madagascar

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Afromontane ecosystems, characterised by mosaics of fire‐adapted grassy ecosystems and fire‐sensitive forests, are biodiversity hotspots facing escalating pressures from non‐native species, climate and land‐use change. Madagascar's Central Highlands is one such hotspot, hosting woodlands dominated by endemic Uapaca bojeri (tapia) which are ...

Animating blossom: Time‐lapse to encourage plant awareness in the YouTube era

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Time‐lapse videos can effectively capture key traits of flower blossoms, such as color, 3D structure, and temporal changes, making them valuable complements to herbarium specimens and other botanical collections. Despite the abundance of such videos on YouTube, most provide no ecological and botanical insights.

Host phenology‐driven infestation patterns of the carob moth (Ectomyelois ceratoniae) in Mediterranean walnut orchards: insights from comparison with codling moth (Cydia pomonella)

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
In Mediterranean walnut orchards, Ectomyelois ceratoniae replaces Cydia pomonella as the primary pest. Capture peaks between packing tissue brown (PTB) stage and husk dehiscence define a critical window for monitoring and early harvest to prevent kernel infestation.

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

Pollination‐related plant traits under environmental changes: Seasonal and daily mismatches produce temporal constraints

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pollination is a key tenet of ecosystem sustainability and food security, but it is threatened by climate change. While many studies investigated the response of plant‐pollination traits to temperature, few attempted multifactorial and integrative approaches with ...

Climate‐induced shifts in long‐term tropical tree reproductive phenology: Insights from species dependent on and independent of biotic pollination

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The dependence on biotic pollination may constrain plant phenological responses because flowering time ultimately defines reproductive success. We proposed a local‐scale study combining long‐term phenology and experimental data to evaluate how a key functional trait—the
