Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.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.

Super‐Tough Silk: The Potential of Knots in Evolved Spiders
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 35, Issue 15, April 10, 2025.The toughness of spider silk can be further significantly enhanced if spiders evolved the –currently absent/undiscovered– ability to tie knots in their silk. The results on 393 spiders suggest toughness increments by one or two orders of magnitude and thus a new perspective on how knotting can serve as a key innovation in spider evolution and in ...
