Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2540-2549, December 2023., 2023 Providing sufficient pollen and nectar resources to support wild pollinators over extended periods in agricultural landscapes can contribute to crop pollination and ensure high fruit weight and quality. This can be achieved by restoring natural and semi‐natural areas near crop fields with native, long‐flowering plant species.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 948-962, November 2023., 2023 Fleshy fruits provide humans with many flavorful and nutritious crops. Understanding the diversity of these plants is fundamental to managing agriculture and food security in a changing world. This study surveyed fruit trait variation across species of tomato wild relatives and explored associations among color, size, shape, sugars, and acids.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 4, Issue 3, July–September 2023., 2023 Visitation and pollen data concluded that key pollinators of UK strawberry crops were abundant and had long flight periods (e.g. hoverfies, honeybees, wild bees). Pollinators also used non‐crop flowers, suggesting a need for diversity of resources. Abstract Despite the importance of insect pollination to produce marketable fruits, insect pollination ...

The nose is not enough: Multi‐site sampling is best for MRSP detection in dogs and households
Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 576-580, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Background Following recovery from meticillin‐resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) infection of any type, dogs may continue to carry MRSP asymptomatically on skin and mucosae, contributing to the spread of this multidrug‐resistant, veterinary hospital‐associated pathogen with zoonotic potential to others and into the environment ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 5, October 2022., 2022 Abstract As agricultural land use and climate change continue to pose increasing threats to biodiversity in sub‐Saharan Africa, efforts are being made to identify areas where trade‐offs between future agricultural development and terrestrial biodiversity conservation are expected to be greatest. However, little research so far has focused on freshwater

Multiple compensatory mutations contribute to the de‐domestication of Iberian weedy rice
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 4, Issue 5, Page 499-510, September 2022., 2022 Weedy plants are a major constraint on agricultural productivity. Weedy rice, a weedy type of rice, invades rice fields worldwide and is responsible for reductions in rice yields. Studies to date have detected multiple independent weedy rice origins in different parts of the world.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 9, Page 2386-2397, September 2022., 2022 The implementation of flower strips or maintenance of remnant semi‐natural habitats adjacent to sunflower fields showed context‐dependent effects on pollinator visitation rates and crop yield. In highly simplified agroecosystems, these interventions may be insufficient or may need longer times to produce significant effects.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1362-1371, May 2022., 2022 Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

Complex landscapes stabilize farm bird communities and their expected ecosystem services
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 927-941, April 2022., 2022 Our results suggest that farmers can effectively manage their farms to harness ecosystem services from birds through farm diversification. Disservices provided by birds, however, appear to be most negatively impacted by landscape‐level complexity. Thus, greater incentives for farmers to increase semi‐natural cover at the landscape scale are likely ...

Global Change Biology, Volume 28, Issue 7, Page 2476-2490, April 2022., 2022 Alternative land‐use changes like degraded savannas conversion holds potential to replace tropical deforestation and its pernicious effect on ecosystem aspects. However, lack of empirical evidence hinders the understanding of the impacts of such alternative pathway for sustainable agricultural development on important ecosystem processes. Here, we show
