Prioritizing conservation in sub-Saharan African lakes based on freshwater biodiversity and algal bloom metrics. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We

The genomics and physiology of abiotic stressors associated with global elevational gradients in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Phenotypic and genomic diversity in Arabidopsis thaliana may be associated with adaptation along its wide elevational range, but it is unclear whether elevational clines are consistent among different mountain ranges. We took a multi‐regional view of selection associated with elevation.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2540-2549, December 2023., 2023 Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi‐natural areas near crop fields with native, long‐flowering plant species.

Seasonality of reproduction in an ever‐wet lowland tropical forest in Amazonian Ecuador
Ecology, Volume 104, Issue 9, September 2023., 2023 Abstract Flowering and fruiting phenology have been infrequently studied in the ever‐wet hyperdiverse lowland forests of northwestern equatorial Amazonía. These Neotropical forests are typically called aseasonal with reference to climate because they are ever‐wet, and it is often assumed they are also aseasonal with respect to phenology.

Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 2471-2487, September 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In Mediterranean climates, the timing of seasonal rains determines germination, flowering phenology and fitness. As climate change alters seasonal precipitation patterns, it is important to ask how these changes will affect the phenology and fitness of plant populations.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 6, Page 1044-1055, June 2023., 2023 Sweet cherry is highly dependent on pollinators to underpin commercial yields, and pollination deficits exist under polytunnels. Growers should, therefore, reconsider their pollination strategies and look to combine effective pollinator management with polytunnel use to mitigate deficits; establishing and actively managing wildflowers in alleyways ...

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 927-942, April 2023., 2023 Our results showed that plant‐floral visitor interactions are dynamic and vary with flowering phenology and with successional changes in plant and animal diversity. Plant‐floral visitor interactions were more diverse and specialised in the late successional stages.

Biotropica, Volume 55, Issue 1, Page 256-267, January 2023., 2023 We characterized the composition and the temporal variations of the arthropods community visiting female and male inflorescences of the palm Phytelephas aequatorialis. We report 59 morphospecies dominated by three beetle families: Staphylinidae, Nitidulidae, and Curculionidae and 16 pollinator candidates among which nine visited both inflorescence ...

Automated identification of diverse Neotropical pollen samples using convolutional neural networks
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 9, Page 2049-2064, September 2022., 2022 Abstract Pollen is used to investigate a diverse range of ecological problems, from identifying plant–pollinator relationships to tracking flowering phenology. Pollen types are identified according to a set of distinctive morphological characters which are understood to capture taxonomic differences and phylogenetic relationships among taxa.
