Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Battle of the giants: Clonal expansion rates, effects on wetland plant communities and competition between introduced Phragmites australis australis and native Phragmites australis americanus

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The success of non‐native species in novel environments has received worldwide attention, resulting in dozens of hypotheses trying to explain this demographic success.

Long‐range pollen transport across the North Sea: Insights from migratory hoverflies landing on a remote oil rig

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study identifies pollen from over 100 plant species—including wildflowers, food and crops—carried by hoverflies alighting onto an oilrig 200 km off the coast during seasonal migrations. Analysis of their movements indicates a huge potential to enhance long distance gene flow between plants and increase pollination services.

Higher cutting frequency can restore semi‐natural habitat quality on farmland

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Rather than productivity per se, the cover of dominant plant species drives plant species richness. Breaking the dominance of these species through defoliation can restore the species richness of the vegetation. Because dominant plant species can tolerate more defoliations at higher productivity, the number of times a vegetation needs to be cut to ...

Biocontrol by a native hemiparasite: Rapid suppression of noxious invasive plants in a field experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Melampyrum arvense was demonstrated as a biocontrol tool suitable for containing two harmful invasive species. After the suppression of the invaders, an additional introduction of native species by seeding or green‐hay transfer could facilitate community restoration. Abstract Alien plant invasions are a recognised threat to biodiversity.
