Plant and insect functional traits influence herbivore performance under climate change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Climate change is expected to disrupt many trophic interactions, including those between insect herbivores and their host plants, which could have detrimental effects at the ecosystem level. However, the response of insect herbivory to climate change can vary widely across species, and an understanding of the mechanisms underlying this variation is ...

Cotton facilitates long‐distance seed dispersal by functioning as nest material for birds

Oikos, EarlyView.
Cotton (Cossypium) fibres, which grow naturally in bolls around the seeds of cotton plants, have been used for centuries to produce fabric. The presumed natural function of cotton is that these lightweight and fluffy fibres may support wind dispersal of the seeds inside.

Enabling effective urban green space stewardship through planning: A qualitative comparative analysis in Southwest England

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Amid increasing urbanisation and biodiversity decline, ‘effective stewardship’ of urban green space (UGS) is a complex but critical nature‐based solution for long‐term environmental, social and economic gain. Combining stewardship and sense‐of‐place frameworks with European nature‐based solutions guidance, we investigate which social and ...

Identifying knowledge barriers to agroforestry adoption and co‐designing solutions to them

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Compared to monocultures, agroforestry can promote biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and climate resilience, whilst maintaining or enhancing production and profits. Despite this, uptake in temperate regions remains low. Knowledge gaps amongst land managers are a primary barrier to uptake, but little is known about which aspects of ...
