Impacts of a fungicide and an insecticide on pollinator visitation and wildflower fitness

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Pesticide use has become widespread around the globe, and mounting evidence has demonstrated health impacts on non‐target insects such as bees. However, less is known about whether the presence of these chemicals in plant tissue can alter interactions between plants ...

Integrated policymaking is needed to deliver climate and ecological benefits from solar farms

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
We call for public policymakers to identify appropriate opportunities to amend existing national laws that address climate and biodiversity separately to improve integration of multiple aspects of the climate‐nature‐land use nexus into policymaking by: (1) formulating ecological and socio‐economic indicators and metrics that are appropriate to underpin

Pesticide use and large patch size reduce natural pest control potential in vineyards

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results suggest that the magnitude of natural pest control services can be improved by reducing intensive management practices at the field scale and by promoting greater landscape heterogeneity, for example, by reducing the mean patch size. These findings highlight the potential for promoting ecosystem services and limit pesticide use, thereby ...

Mycorrhizal fungi compromise production of endophytic alkaloids, increasing plant susceptibility to an aphid herbivore

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
These findings indicate that symbiotic fungal partnerships and silicon provision may benefit plants but could weaken anti‐herbivore defences when combined. Revealing the complex interactions among diverse fungal symbionts and showcasing their effects on different anti‐herbivore defences (chemical and physical) and herbivore performance for the first ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, EarlyView.
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.
