Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible
Oikos, EarlyView.For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Oikos, EarlyView.Information processing by herbivorous insects can impair the accuracy of decision‐making during host‐plant selection. Consequently, insects with a narrower diet breadth are expected to be more accurate decision‐makers, as they cope with a smaller set of relevant stimuli.

Incidental pollination by passing animals: An overlooked mechanism?
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The conservation of pollinators is essential for sustaining the ecosystem services of pollen transfer, which support crop production, biodiversity conservation and ecosystem health. While primary pollinators have been the focus of most conservation efforts, subordinate or incidental pollinators have been largely overlooked.
