Loving Gardens, Loving the Gardener? ‘Solitude’ in Andrew Marvell’s ‘The Garden’ [PDF]

Marvell Studies, 2018
In ‘The Garden’, Andrew Marvell devotes a lot of time to extolling the virtues of the solitude he experiences in the garden of the title. Despite Marvell’s insistence that he prefers solitude to ‘society’, at the end of the poem his attention comes to rest approvingly on a human figure: the Gardener.

Integrating developmental and macroevolutionary approaches reveals a staminodial origin of all alternisepalous organs in Caryophyllaceae

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The identity of sterile floral organs in second‐whorl, alternisepalous positions within Caryophyllaceae remains contentious, having been described as staminodes, “petaloids,” or petals homologous with those of other Pentapetalae. Limited ingroup and outgroup sampling and floral developmental data and inadequate phylogenetic comparative

Willingness of rural and urban citizens to undertake pollinator conservation actions across three contrasting European countries

People and Nature
Over the last two decades, ecological and conservation studies on pollinator insects have increased significantly. However, scientific evidence alone is not enough to translate knowledge into policy and into changes in behaviour.

Application of a novel schema for describing fossil fern foliage and investigating taxonomic and morphological change across the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary in western North America

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The Chicxulub asteroid impact at the Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) boundary triggered a mass extinction 66 million years ago. Ferns thrived in the aftermath of the extinction, evidenced by the well‐documented “fern spore spike.” However, fern macrofossil records across the K–Pg boundary are less understood.

Environmentally induced dynamics between intraindividual variation and trait means across vegetative, phenological, and floral traits

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Intraindividual variation in reiterated structures (e.g., leaves) represents an important dimension of phenotypic variation that contributes to functional diversity and the dynamics of ecological communities. It can be expressed differently across plant traits, but how environmental drivers affect intraindividual variation in different

Gardening for health: a regular dose of gardening [PDF]

Clinical Medicine, 2018
There is increasing evidence that exposure to plants and green space, and particularly to gardening, is beneficial to mental and physical health, and so could reduce the pressure on NHS services. Health professionals should therefore encourage their patients to make use of green space and to work in gardens, and should pressure local authorities to ...

Seasonal variation in wind speed and oceanic salt spray favors delayed reproduction in coastal yellow monkeyflowers

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The optimal timing of reproduction depends on the relative risk and benefit of continued growth. These risks and benefits depend on the local environment, which varies seasonally. While temperature and water availability are well‐studied selective agents on reproductive timing, less is known about other seasonally variable factors ...

The rain feels different under the same umbrella: Experiences with poverty across LGBTQ subgroups

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Population‐based survey data have demonstrated that LGBTQ communities report varying rates of economic insecurity, yet very little research directly assesses how pathways into and experiences with poverty look different among subgroups at the intersections of sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI).
