Prosopanche: A remarkable genus of parasitic plants

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 163-168, March 2023., 2023
Prosopanche is a remarkable yet poorly known genus of parasitic plants. We provide an up‐to‐date revision of the current state of understanding of Prosopanche, including taxonomy, biogeography, plant–pollinator ecology and host–parasite interactions. This Flora Obscura article will deliver this extraordinary plant genus to the attention of the wider ...

Cowbirds use conspecific social information to detect host nests in the wild

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 799-804, April 2026.
Recent work shows that hosts of avian brood parasites use social information to increase egg rejection rates, but fewer studies explore how parasites themselves use such information to detect host nests in the wild. To determine whether wild Brown‐headed Cowbirds Molothrus ater use social information to detect host nests, we measured how individual ...

When honeybees come to town: Critical aspects of urban beekeeping and opportunities for regulation

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 528-540, March 2026.
Abstract Urban areas are increasingly valued for their role in conserving wild pollinators. Honeybees are often regarded as ambassador species for pollinator conservation, and beekeeping is frequently perceived as a pro‐biodiversity activity, which has become highly popular in urban areas.
