Ant-mediated seed dispersal in a warmed world [PDF]

, 2014
Climate change affects communities both directly and indirectly via changes in interspecific interactions. One such interaction that may be altered under climate change is the ant-plant seed dispersal mutualism common in deciduous forests of eastern ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Unlikely allies: Camel crickets play a role in the seed dispersal of an Asian autotrophic shrub

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 494-501, May 2025.
Dust seeds, which are minute and contain minimal energy reserves, are often associated with heterotrophy (plants that obtain carbon without photosynthesis). Consequently, previous studies have mainly focused on the relationships between dust seeds and heterotrophy. However, dust seeds are also found in green plants.

Taxonomy in the light of incongruence: An updated classification of Malvales and Malvaceae based on phylogenomic data

TAXON, Volume 74, Issue 2, Page 361-385, April 2025.
Abstract Malvales is a diverse order of flowering plants, economically and ecologically relevant, and it is known for its broad morphological variability. Recent phylogenomic studies have revealed a complex evolutionary history for the order, including localised phylogenetic discordances among nuclear loci.

Revisiting ecological specialization: the case of plant–frugivore interactions

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 3, March 2025.
Understanding the extent to which organisms exhibit specialization when interacting with or relying on distinct aspects of their biotic and abiotic environment is a central tenet in ecology and evolution. Despite the relevance of the concept and theoretical advances, specialization has and continues to be ambiguously defined. Here we review the uses of

Mutualistic interactions facilitate invasive species spread

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 1, Page 254-267, January 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Invasive species are major drivers of global ecosystem change. They often displace native species through competitive exclusion, creating novel species interactions. These interactions can lead to ecological cascades, where the presence of one invasive species enhances ...
