Fungal entomopathogens: new insights on their ecology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An important mechanism for insect pest control should be the use of fungal entomopathogens. Even though these organisms have been studied for more than 100 y, their effective use in the field remains elusive.

Ecology of plant volatiles: taking a plant community perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Although plants are sessile organisms, they can modulate their phenotype so as to cope with environmental stresses such as herbivore attack and competition with neighbouring plants.

Perspectives for ecological networks in plant ecology

open access: yesPlant Ecology & Diversity, 2019
Background: Plant communities are usually characterised by species composition and abundance, but also underlie a multitude of complex interactions that we have only recently started unveiling.

Concepts in empirical plant ecology

open access: yesPlant Ecology & Diversity, 2018
In this review, I discuss, and partly challenge, a number of paradigms, assumptions and definitions that apply to many fields of plant ecology. The main points include the need for a distinction between a growth- or yield-oriented versus a fitness- or ...

Next-gen plant clonal ecology

open access: yes, 2021
Plants with clonal growth can produce multiple potentially independent units, termed ramets. Clonal growth can have important ecological and evolutionary consequences, such as by increasing probability of reproduction, space monopolization, and ...

Topical gradients in plant ecology

open access: yes, 2012
Plant ecology spans multiple levels of biological organization and spatio-temporal scales, and over four dozen plant ecology textbooks have been published since Warming's (1895) 'Oecology of Plants.' With increasing emphasis on specialization, students ...

The Plant Microbiome: From Ecology to Reductionism and Beyond.

open access: yesAnnual Review of Microbiology, 2020
Methodological advances over the past two decades have propelled plant microbiome research, allowing the field to comprehensively test ideas proposed over a century ago and generate many new hypotheses.

Interactive Effects of Rising Temperature and Nutrient Enrichment on Aquatic Plant Growth, Stoichiometry, and Palatability [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The abundance and stoichiometry of aquatic plants are crucial for nutrient cycling and energy transfer in aquatic ecosystems. However, the interactive effects of multiple global environmental changes, including temperature rise and eutrophication, on ...

Microbial modulation of plant ethylene signaling: ecological and evolutionary consequences

open access: yes, 2018
The plant hormone ethylene is one of the central regulators of plant development and stress resistance. Optimal ethylene signaling is essential for plant fitness and is under strong selection pressure. Plants upregulate ethylene production in response to

Insights into invasion and restoration ecology : time to collaborate towards a holistic approach to tackle biological invasions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The aim of our study is to provide an integrated framework for the management of alien plant invasions, combining insights and experiences from the fields of invasion and restoration ecology to enable more effective management of invasive species.
