This study evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding on flowers to detect pollinator species and compares it with traditional visual sampling methods. Findings show that while eDNA complements conventional techniques in monitoring pollinators, it cannot fully replace them, highlighting the need for integrated approaches.

Larval parasitism of the autumnal moth reduces feeding intensity on the mountain birch [PDF]
Plants respond to grazing by herbivorous insects by emitting a range of volatile organic compounds, which attract parasitoids to their insect hosts. However, a positive outcome for the host plant is a necessary precondition for making the attraction ...

The effect of herb layer on nocturnal macrolepidoptera (lepidoptera: Macroheterocera) communities [PDF]
Vegetation beneath the canopy might be an important factor for macromoth community composition in forest ecosystems, strongly determined by forest management practices.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Settling moths as potential pollinators of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)
Nocturnal pollinators such as moths have received less attention than diurnal insects. To elucidate whether nocturnal moths are important pollinators, we observed both the diurnal and nocturnal visitors to the flowers of Uncaria rhynchophylla (Rubiaceae)

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader
While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

The effect of larval body size of Epirrita autumnata (Lepidoptera, Geometridae) on the risk of parasitism was studied in a field experiment. The experiment involved three pairwise exposures of different larval instars to parasitoids.
