Invasive plant and honeybee alter native plant-pollinator network structure in dry forest [PDF]

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Invasive species pose a critical threat to ecosystems, with far-reaching consequences. Invasive plants can directly interact with native pollinators, while wind-pollinated grasses indirectly alter plant-pollinator networks by reshaping the composition of

Temporal variation in the roles of exotic and native plant species in plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcosphere, 2020
The role of individual plant species, including those that are rare or invasive, in the structure of plant–pollinator networks will depend on how connected the plants are to pollinator species and when they flower.

Climate Change Exposure and Firms' Biodiversity Impact Reduction Strategy

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates how climate change exposure shapes long‐run biodiversity disclosure strategies, for instance, by informing efforts to reduce biodiversity impacts and by contributing to the existing environment and strategy literature in various ways. First, this paper adds insight into horizon issues related to climate change and shows

Mapping the US Bridgebuilding Field: Situating Organizations in the Ecosystem of Social Change

open access: yesConflict Resolution Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article explores the ecosystem of bridge‐building initiatives in the United States. Drawing on an original database of 223 organizations, interviews with 7 staff across 6 organizations, and a literature review related to bridge‐building, polarization, and collective action, we first describe the range of existing initiatives and their ...

Geographic biases and gaps in the sampling of plant–pollinator networks

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Plant–pollinator interactions are essential for maintaining biodiversity and supporting food production, yet inferences drawn from network syntheses may be shaped by where interaction data are generated and which datasets are most reused. Here, we quantify the global distribution of published plant–pollinator networks, assess how publication rates vary

Managing for resilience with ecological structure: Portfolio effects in the Laurentian Great Lakes

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.
Combined effects of global change, including land conversion, biological invasions, and overexploitation, have degraded the resilience of ecosystems and the services they provide. Here, we identify key ecological structures and processes that can be targeted by management to improve resilience at scales ranging from single species to entire landscapes.

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

Combining phenotypic, physiological, and multi‐omics studies to provide new insights on the role of 2,4‐epibrassinolide in regulation of seed shattering in Elymus sibiricus L.

open access: yesGrassland Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Seed shattering limits the production of Elymus sibiricus L., and application of exogenous brassinosteroid significantly alleviates plant organ abscission. Methods To explore the potential regulatory network of brassinosteroid on seed shattering, the abscission zone of E. sibiricus cv. Lanyu No.
