Pollinator efficiency, rather than bee decline, explains a shift to hummingbird pollination in tropical montane forests

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2237-2247, August 2026.
Hummingbird pollination is a hallmark of American plant diversity and has long been thought to evolve in tropical mountains due to declining bee activity. Using sister species of Costus specialized on bees (C. kuntzei) and hummingbirds (C. wilsonii), we show that this shift is not driven by reduced bee visitation with elevation, but by greater ...

Trimerous magnoliid flowers with a unique set of floral and pollen traits from the Late Cretaceous of Southern Bohemia (Czech Republic)

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2266-2283, August 2026.
Morphospace position and phylogenetic placements of Trimeriantha monopolyada. Summary Floral structure is a key aspect of angiosperm diversity. Recent research revealed that significant floral disparity was already present in the Cretaceous. However, our understanding of early floral diversity remains limited, as it is directly dependent on the fossil ...

Aboveground and Belowground Insect Herbivory Changes Maize‐Wireworm Interactions via Root Volatile Cues

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 8, Page 5689-5702, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The rhizosphere harbours critical plant‐herbivore interactions often mediated by small lipophilic molecules (SLMs). Despite the agricultural importance of many soil‐dwelling insects, surprisingly little is known about chemically mediated belowground crop‐pest interactions. Root and shoot herbivores can influence these interactions by modifying

Resilience of floral scent emission after florivory

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1491-1506, August 2026.
Florivory is thought to affect floral traits, impacting pollination. However, our data suggest a stability in post‐florivory scent emission, which may guarantee the maintenance of pollinator visitation regardless of florivory, indicating a resilience of natural systems with multiple and simultaneous interactions. Created in BioRender. Tunes, P.

Rapid disruption of pollination function by the invasive plant Impatiens glandulifera

Plant Biology, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 1481-1490, August 2026.
Invasion by Impatiens glandulifera rapidly disrupts pollination of the native plant Stachys sylvatica by altering pollen transport by shared bumblebee pollinators. A short‐term field introduction revealed a dramatic decline in conspecific pollen deposition within 4 days, showing that pollination function can collapse quickly following invasion, even ...
