Organic fertilizer enhances crop yield and soil health by increasing arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi species richness

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Substitution of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers is often considered a sustainable approach that can support soil health and promote crop yield. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi are crucial for maintaining ecosystem multifunctionality; however, their ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus alters the phyllosphere microbial community and modifies plant defences against co‐attack of pea aphid and pathogen

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), pathogens and insect pests usually colonize or infect the same plant. Besides, AMF changes plant defence enzymes and metabolites under multiple biotic stresses and alters the interrelationship between plant, pathogen and insect ...

Long‐range pollen transport across the North Sea: Insights from migratory hoverflies landing on a remote oil rig

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study identifies pollen from over 100 plant species—including wildflowers, food and crops—carried by hoverflies alighting onto an oilrig 200 km off the coast during seasonal migrations. Analysis of their movements indicates a huge potential to enhance long distance gene flow between plants and increase pollination services.
