Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Reviewing published and grey literature in local European languages to supplement existing databases on floral resource traits

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
The aim of the study was to collect data on plant phenology, density of flowers and production of floral resources in European countries, using published and grey literature written in local languages.

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

Influence of group size and floral display on pollinator behaviour in Moricandia arvensis

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Optimal foraging theory predicts that pollinators will visit dense floral patches over sparse ones. Understanding how the local abundance of floral resources influences pollinator behaviour is crucial for assessing the effect of floral traits on plant ...

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Natural selection by pollinators on floral attractive and defensive traits did not translate into selection via fruits in common milkweed

Journal of Pollination Ecology
Considering both pollinator and herbivore pressures on plant reproductive and defensive traits is key to understanding patterns of selection for plants.

When Nature Counts: Corporate Biodiversity Attention and Access to Bank Finance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether corporate attention to biodiversity influences firms' access to bank loans, an overlooked question in the emerging biodiversity–finance literature. Using a novel, text‐based measure constructed from 446 biodiversity‐related keywords and applied to Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2000 to 2023, we show that ...
