Unexpected spatial aggregation between two species of hummingbirds and their inconsistent spatial interactions with native and exotic plants in an urban ecological reserve

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 927-944, October 2025.
Hummingbirds play an important role as pollinators and are one of the primary examples of animal–plant coevolution. However, factors such as land‐use change, urbanization, exotic species introductions and the disappearance of native plants can negatively affect the persistence of hummingbird populations.

Insights on the Potential of Natural Regeneration to Restore Cerrado Open Ecosystems

Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.
The colonisation potential of native Cerrado species in degraded areas will depend on the remaining underground structures and not on seed rain from nearby conserved remnants. Effective restoration of the Cerrado will not be possible without active restoration, if the bud‐bank are not present in the system.

A low‐cost protocol for the optical method of vulnerability curves to calculate P50

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 13, Issue 2, March-April 2025.
Abstract Premise The quantification of plant drought resistance, particularly embolism formation, within and across species, is critical for ecosystem management and agriculture. We developed a cost‐effective protocol to measure the water potential at which 50% of hydraulic conductivity (P50) is lost in stems, using affordable and accessible materials ...

Complex and Dynamic Effects of an Extreme Low Temperature Weather Event on Invasive Plant Populations and Resident Communities

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 3, March 2025.
Invasive plant species might benefit more from climate change, though evidence for that is not clear. Here, we show that the effects of a low‐temperature extreme weather event can result in a dramatic reduction in both vegetative and reproductive growth of invasive populations of Gunnera tinctoria (giant rhubarb) in the west of Ireland.
