Antbears and underground melons: A highly specialized seed dispersal mutualism mediated by scent
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Seed dispersal is critical for the establishment and persistence of populations of most plant species. We investigated the seed dispersal biology of an African melon, Cucumis humifructus, which is closely related to cultivated cucumbers and watermelons but differs in that it buries its fruits deep underground.

Plant functional traits and the entangled phenotype
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Integrated phenotypes consist of multiple traits with enough coordination within and across organs to result in viable individuals, which not only respond to the surrounding environment but also modify it in myriad ways.

Insect Science, EarlyView.The role of 3 mitochondrial complex I gene in host expansion of Bactrocera tau was verified by CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing system. A stable homogenous strain (Btndufa7‐/‐) of B.tau was established after silencing Ndufa7. The reduced size of larvae and pupae of Ndufa7 knockout strain was first found.Then different levels of fitness and relative expression ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.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 ...
