How can children and young people have a voice in urban treescapes?
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Scientific understanding of climate change has, to date, failed to result in sufficient action. This paper proposes that a deficit model of top‐down learning and dissemination in relation to public engagement with science may be part of the problem, particularly when considering the attitudes, values and empowerment of children and young ...

PROTEOMICS, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are vital pollinators in fruit‐producing agroecosystems like highbush blueberry (HBB) and cranberry (CRA). However, their health is threatened by multiple interacting stressors, including pesticides, pathogens, and nutritional changes.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The preservation and revitalization of mycocultural heritage, developed over centuries of human‐mushroom interaction, contributes to safeguarding both natural ecosystems and the promotion of sustainable rural development, one of the biggest global challenges currently faced by humankind.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Holoendoparasites are extremely rare plants that live entirely hidden inside their hosts, with only flowers and fruits visible. We studied Apodanthes caseariae, found in central and South America, parasitizing Casearia sylvestris. Little is known about its life cycle.

The effects of flower supplementation on pollinators and pollination along an urbanisation gradient
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Enhancing urban greenspaces for pollinator communities by planting flower patches is increasingly common, but their efficacy for different groups of insects (bees, hoverflies and moths) is unclear. Our city‐scale experiment demonstrated that the effect of flower patches on pollinators is complex, and direct benefits to specific insects are difficult to

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Chemical profiling and bioassays reveal that leaf‐litter leachates from urban trees flip between nourishing and killing Aedes aegypti larvae: dilute Tipuana tipu boosts growth, whereas concentrated, aged extracts are >90% lethal. Species‐specific chemistry thus turns street trees into potential self‐renewing tools for integrated vector control ...
