Generalist‐pollinated Arabis alpina exhibits floral scent variation at multiple scales
Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Plants that depend on animals for reproduction often use complex floral traits to attract pollinators. Floral scent is recognized as part of the pollinator attraction module and can be shaped by plant‐pollinator interactions. In recent decades, research has started to reveal the dynamic properties of floral scent, identifying patterns of spatial and ...

Engineered Gravel Trench Hyporheic Exchange to Create Cold‐Water Thermal Refuges
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Warming rivers are driving a loss or fragmentation of cold‐water habitat and providing the impetus to develop proactive thermal management approaches to maintain suitable habitat in rivers. One innovative approach is through the creation of cold‐water thermal refuges during periods of thermal stress for aquatic species.
