Microbe-induced resistance involves priming of direct or indirect defenses according to the stage of herbivory. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Microbe‐induced resistance (MIR) encompasses a broad range of plant responses that mediate both direct and indirect defenses against herbivores. However, previous studies have addressed MIR in relation to either direct or indirect defenses in isolation, overlooking potential conflicts or synergies that may arise between MIR‐elicited defense ...

Global drivers of the conservation-invasion paradox. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The conservation–invasion paradox (CIP) refers to a long‐term phenomenon wherein species threatened in their native range can sustain viable populations when introduced to other regions. Understanding the drivers of CIP is helpful for conserving threatened species and managing invasive species, which is unfortunately still lacking. We compiled

Source height and contact with terrestrial soil drive transplanted epiphyte performance
Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 11, Page 2388-2400, November 2023., 2023 Tropical vascular epiphytes, such as this orchid Peristeria pendula, performed worse when experimentally transplanted to new substrates in contact with terrestrial soil, versus substrates just above the soil surface. The results are some of the first empirical data supporting the epiphyte enemy escape hypothesis.

Biotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1259-1269, September 2022., 2022 We used artificial, plasticine prey to assess temporal (day‐ versus nighttime) and spatial (pubescent versus glabrous host plant) variation in predation in two Panamanian rainforests. We compared attacks on caterpillar‐ and humanoid‐shaped figurines to test whether model prey shape is as important for prey recognition by predators as often assumed.

Pre‐dispersal seed predation could help explain premature fruit drop in a tropical forest
Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 751-761, April 2022., 2022 Premature fruit drop is likely to be a major source of seed mortality for many plant species on Barro Colorado Island. It is plausible that pre‐dispersal seed enemies, such as insect seed predators, contribute to community‐level patterns of premature fruit drop and have the potential to mediate species coexistence through stabilising negative density ...

Crossing the Line: Cristóbal de Villalpando and the Surplus of Script
Art History, Volume 45, Issue 2, Page 308-341, April 2022., 2022 In 1706 Cristóbal de Villalpando signed a painting with an unusual, intensive calligraphic flourish, and sent it from Mexico City far to the north. This essay describes Villalpando's decision to invest so much pictorial energy in letterforms against this geographic backdrop.

Our Man in Madrid: Bullfighting Enters the Political Arena
The Political Quarterly, Volume 93, Issue 2, Page 326-335, April–June 2022., 2022 Abstract Four bullfighters stood as MPs in the April 2019 Spanish general elections: Miguel Abellán and Salvador Vega for the PP; and Serafín Martín and Pablo Ciprés for Vox. None was elected, although Abellán and Martín came close. The former's allegiance was rewarded with his political appointment by the PP's Isabel Díaz Ayuso as Director‐General of ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 444-456, February 2022., 2022 Our findings highlight the need for conservation biological control to go beyond ‘one size fits all’ and consider the specific ecology of the involved organisms, even for a single crop type. Landscapes with high edge density and flowering woody plants may support natural enemies, in particular syrphids, which colonised the fields early in the season ...

A New Priest for a New Society? The Masculinity of the Priesthood in Liberal Spain*
Journal of Religious History, Volume 45, Issue 4, Page 540-558, December 2021., 2021 This study examines the formation of the ideal of the “good parish priest” as a means for the Catholic Church to recover its social influence in the Spain that emerged from the liberal revolutions of the early nineteenth century. It makes use of the concept of masculinity as a resource for illuminating the forms of authority and social relationships ...
