Context-dependency of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on plant-insect interactions in an agroecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Plants interact with a variety of other community members that have the potential to indirectly influence each other through a shared host plant. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are generally considered plant mutualists because of their generally ...

Kin discrimination in plants: overview and implications for population and community ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following the discovery of identity discrimination, particularly self and kin discrimination amongst plant competitors, research on interplant interactions has advanced significantly within plant physiology and evolutionary ecology. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how both self and kin discrimination influence plant growth ...

Elaborating the Motivations and Attitudes Driving Interest in Voluntary Biodiversity Credits

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global biodiversity loss has prompted the search for new sources of conservation finance, such as voluntary biodiversity credits (VBCs). However, despite optimistic market projections, current uptake of VBCs is limited. Adopting an interpretive approach, we analyse 21 semistructured interviews with early market actors (buyers, sellers ...

Warming induces short-term phenological shifts in pollinator-plant interactions that enhance larval development in honey bee.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
Climate warming can precipitate mismatches in plant-pollinator interactions by altering their phenologies of both parties, impacting ecosystem services. While most studies have focused on long-term, seasonal phenological shifts, the effect of warming on ...

Policy and Market Mechanisms for Sustainable Finance: A Systematic Review and Research Agenda

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable finance has emerged as a critical instrument for addressing the dual challenges of climate change and sustainable development. Nonetheless, a substantial financing gap persists, while the concept remains under‐theorized without a universally accepted definition, and empirical evidence of its effectiveness remains inconsistent and ...

Net‐Zero Transition and Its Impact on Firms' Energy Efficiency and Economic Growth Within the Framework of Sustainable Development Goals: A Systematic Literature Review and Bibliometric Analysis

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition to net zero (NZ) faces challenges such as uneven institutional readiness, fragmented policy frameworks and rising energy demands from population growth, economic expansion and artificial intelligence (AI). These obstacles are intensified by technological, financial and regulatory uncertainties that impede coordinated efforts ...

Pollinator dependence but no pollen limitation for eight plants occurring north of the Arctic Circle

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Effective interactions between plants and pollinators are essential for the reproduction of plant species. Pollinator exclusion experiments and pollen supplementation experiments quantify the degree to which plants depend on animal pollinators and the ...
