Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal 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.

Determinants of mating success in a lek‐mating species

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Leks are male‐biased aggregations formed for mating, where sperm is the only resource acquired by visiting females. One of the many advantages of leks is the possibility to efficiently assess the quality of potential mates by comparing aggregated individuals of the same sex with one another. When direct mate choice occurs in a lekking species,
