How do insects pollinate flowers? Behaviour during visitation determines high pollination efficiency by a generalist insect

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem services provide essential benefits to human survival and well‐being. Animal behaviour is central to the delivery of many ecosystem services, yet we know little about how behaviour drives services' provision.

Foraging energetics reveals late‐summer challenges for pollinators across two British cities

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Foraging bees often work within fine energetic margins, but recent work has shown that foraging conditions can vary markedly across the year. Despite the importance of seasonality for pollinator foraging, most work in this area has relied on indirect approaches. However,

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Warming and community context drive rapid plant evolution

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Abiotic and biotic factors are important drivers of plant evolution, but how these factors interact to influence plant evolution in multispecies communities is still poorly understood. We performed experimental evolution exposing Brassica rapa plants to a combination of

Pollen landscape saturation on pollinator bodies reduces pollen deposition by subsequently visited bat‐pollinated flowers

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Sexual selection in flowering plants often operates through male–male competition, yet the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon remain difficult to demonstrate. One potential arena for such competition is pollen placement on pollinators, where pollen grains from ...
