Global patterns of colouration complexity in the Paridae: Effects of climate and species characteristics across body regions

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Variation in colour complexity in the Paridae is linked to climate, climate variability and several biotic factors. The strength of the associations is patch specific. Variables related to resource competition are more strongly associated with colour complexity of the head and breast than with that of the back and wing.

The impact of tree mortality and post‐disturbance management on insect diversity in temperate forests: Insights from a replicated experiment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our experiment provides strong evidence for the importance of clustered tree mortality for comprehensive insect diversity in temperate forests and highlights the potential of forest management to enhance insect diversity in homogeneous commercial forests, particularly through the creation of canopy gaps and the retention of deadwood. Both mimic natural

Forest cover enhances pest control by birds and bats independently of vineyard management intensity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Our results highlight the importance of bats and birds in reducing herbivory and increasing economic benefits in vineyards. Their presence and foraging activity can be promoted by connected landscapes incorporating hedgerows and small groups of trees as well as native, deciduous forest patches that can potentially increase the amount of food sources ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

open access: yesJournal 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.
