SUMMARY Sedum alfredii (Sa) is known as a Cd/Zn hyperaccumulator, which usually grows in soil with high Mn in its natural habitat. However, it is unclear how S. alfredii copes with high Mn at both physiological and molecular levels. In this study, we characterized the Mn accumulation and tolerance in the hyperaccumulating ecotype (HE) of S. alfredii by

Highly localised traditional knowledge of Mien medicinal plants in Chiang Rai, Thailand
Abstract The Mien ethnic people have migrated from China to Thailand over centuries and traditionally settled in remote areas of northern Thailand. They relied extensively on the local ecosystem for construction, food, fodder, and medicine. There are only a few studies of Mien traditional knowledge in China and Nan, Thailand.

Abstract Floral traits describe organs or structures directly related to plant reproduction, and they are essential to understanding plant–pollinator interactions, notably for conservation purposes. The growth of plant trait‐based approaches lies in the availability of data shared by the international research community on dedicated platforms, as well ...

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

Pollinator abundance and species richness decline with building height. Although our study was limited to eight sites, it emphasises the importance of extensive green roofs (EGRs) on low‐rise buildings. Bee abundance and species richness increased with stonecrop bloom amount, but communities determined from distinct stonecrop species were more alike to

Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that

Summary Nectar contains antimicrobial constituents including hydrogen peroxide, yet it is unclear how widespread nectar hydrogen peroxide might be among plant species or how effective it is against common nectar microbes. Here, we surveyed 45 flowering plant species across 23 families and reviewed the literature to assess the field‐realistic range of ...
