ABSTRACT Despite what one might assume to have been a rigid line between London's refugee community—with its strict brand of Protestantism—and the city's performance cultures—often the target of strict Protestants' ire—historical records reveal a number of overlaps between those domains.

Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Chromatic Contrast Alone Does Not Predict Predation Risk in the Longhorn Beetle Rosalia alpina
Prey colouration can affect predation risk, yet the function of the striking blue‐and‐black pattern of the longhorn beetle Rosalia alpina has not been tested experimentally. By combining reflectance measurements, visual modelling of potential avian predators and field experiments with plasticine models, we show that chromatic contrast alone does not ...

The effects of wind power plants on surrounding vegetation remain poorly understood. Vegetation surveys at three Norwegian wind power plants commissioned 4, 12, and 19 years ago showed that roads caused shifts in plant functional strategies toward species with ruderal strategies.

The rapid removal or placement of residues in sun‐exposed locations can help mitigate this risk. Abstract BACKGROUND The bark beetle Taphrorychus bicolor has been traditionally classified as a secondary pest of European ...

Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.
