Fire regime shapes butterfly communities through changes in nectar resources in an Australian tropical savanna

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Fire‐dependent savanna provides key habitat for butterflies globally, but we know little about how fire regimes, including fire frequency and season, affect them.

Agronomic Traits in Oilseed Rape (Brassica napus) Can Predict Foraging Resources for Insect Pollinators

open access: yesAgronomy, 2021
Mass-flowering crops, such as oilseed rape (OSR; Brassica napus), provide pulses of nectar and pollen, helping to support pollinators and their pollination services in agricultural landscapes.

Invasion of a dominant floral resource: effects on the floral community and pollination of native plants [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2017
AbstractThrough competition for pollinators, invasive plants may suppress native flora. Community‐level studies provide an integrative assessment of invasion impacts and insights into factors that influence the vulnerability of different native species.

How Effective Is Conservation Biological Control in Regulating Insect Pest Populations in Organic Crop Production Systems?

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Organic crop production systems are designed to enhance or preserve the presence of natural enemies, including parasitoids and predators, by means of conservation biological control, which involves providing environments and habitats that sustain natural

Floral Plantings in Large-Scale Commercial Agroecosystems Support Both Pollinators and Arthropod Predators

open access: yesInsects, 2021
Beneficial insect populations and the services that they provide are in decline, largely due to agricultural land use and practices. Establishing perennial floral plantings in the unused margins of crop fields can help conserve beneficial pollinators and

Chromosome-level genome of Iris domestica reveals genes involved in isoflavonoid biosynthesis

open access: yesCrop Journal
Iris domestica, a perennial herb of the Iridaceae family, is widely recognized for its rich isoflavone content and broad therapeutic properties. To elucidate the biosynthetic pathway of these medicinally significant compounds, we constructed a haplotype ...

Floral gene resources from basal angiosperms for comparative genomics research [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2005
Abstract Background The Floral Genome Project was initiated to bridge the genomic gap between the most broadly studied plant model systems. Arabidopsis and rice, although now completely sequenced and under intensive comparative genomic investigation, are separated by at least 125 million years of ...
