Aerial litter mimicry: A novel form of floral deception mediated by a monoterpene synthase

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 302-321, February 2025.
We report the first pollination system in which a flower imitates aerial litter, which refers to the arboreal plant litter in a forest. Our findings demonstrated that Meiogyne heteropetala flower fooled the aerial litter specialist Loberus sharpi by mimicking aerial litter in size, colour and odour.

Patterns of aerial arthropod biomass and diversity from three regions of boreal Alaska

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 826-855, September 2024.
We documented aerial arthropod biomass and diversity over 4 years in three regions in boreal Alaska—two in central Alaska and one in southcentral Alaska. Traps yielded 115,078 specimens of 15 orders and 692 unique taxa. Mean aerial arthropod biomass was more than three times higher in Fairbanks than in Anchorage.

Evolutionary and ecological trends in the Neotropical cycad genus Dioon (Zamiaceae): An example of success of evolutionary stasis

Ecological Research, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 131-158, March 2024.
Cycads represent an example of the success of evolutionary stasis. Despite its conservative nature, the cycad genus Dioon has been able to diversify due to phylogenetic, stochastic, and environmental factors associated with the biogeography of Mexico. Abstract Cycads represent an example of the success of evolutionary stasis. Despite their early origin,
