High water availability increases the negative impact of a native hemiparasite on its non-native host [PDF]
Environmental factors alter the impacts of parasitic plants on their hosts. However, there have been no controlled studies on how water availability modulates stem hemiparasites' effects on hosts.

Are lichens biocompasses? Revisiting an old prediction using new techniques
The equator‐facing portions of tree trunks receive direct sunlight and create restrictive microclimate conditions for lichens that orient preferentially towards the Earth's poles where trunks are shaded, indicating an optimal zone at the fine‐scale radial dimension.

Mountain colonization precedes shifts away from bee pollination in Melastomataceae
Summary Shifts among different groups of pollinators are central in the evolution of flowering plants, yet mechanisms underlying pollinator shifts remain unclear. Environment‐induced reduction in pollinator availability and hence efficiency may destabilize ancestral plant–pollinator interactions and trigger shifts to new, more efficient pollinators ...
