Abstract In agroecosystems, it is well known that nitrogen (N) can be transferred below‐ground among plants, especially between legumes and forage crops. However, we still lack a deep mechanistic understanding of this ecological process and its implications in plant communities,

Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

Information gaps about invasive alien species (IAS) distributions hinder local governments in Japan, where many prefectures still lack official lists. This study shows that open research‐based data (ORD, GBIF.org) from museums and herbaria and community science data (CSD, Biome and iNaturalist) from volunteers can substantially reduce these gaps.

Summary Chloroplast‐to‐nucleus retrograde signalling enables rapid stress responses in plants, but whether these signals accumulate to affect crop performance across entire growing seasons under field conditions remains unknown. We generated wheat mutants with targeted deletions in specific SAL gene copies from two distinct homeologous groups (TaSAL1 ...

Isopod feces–mediated shifts in germination timing enhance seedling establishment
Summary Seedlings are particularly vulnerable to herbivory because their defenses are underdeveloped and their capacity to tolerate damage is limited. However, how seedlings cope with such threats remains poorly understood. Animal feces may provide important chemical cues that influence plant responses to herbivory.
