The sentinel approach to quantify ecosystem function intensities
Abstract Biodiversity, through species interactions, underpins numerous ecosystem functions that can lead to ecosystem services and disservices. Quantifying these functions is crucial for evaluating the effectiveness of conservation and management strategies, as well as the impacts of land use change.

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
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.

Evolving perspectives in Hymenoptera systematics: Bridging fossils and genomes across time
Advances in sequencing and phylogenomic methods reveal unresolved deep phylogenetic nodes with variable age estimates in Hymenoptera, including, for example, Eusymphyta and Proctotrupomorpha. Conflicting morphological and molecular data hinder consensus in Hymenoptera systematics.

Rainforest transformation to monoculture plantations reduced species richness and abundance of parasitoid wasps. The study also highlighted the differences in community composition of parasitoid between forest and plantations. Experimental enrichment with flowering vegetation increased species richness of parasitoid wasps by 18% and abundance by 127 ...
