International Biological Flora: Ceratonia siliqua

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1885-1922, August 2024.
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua) has a long traditional history in Mediterranean cultures providing food for humans and domestic animals. Its remarkable tolerance of drought, salt and fire, with an ability to thrive in poor, dry soils, makes it ideal for a warming Mediterranean climate.

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1686-1700, August 2024.
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

Effect of green infrastructure on restoration of pollination networks and plant performance in semi‐natural dry grasslands across Europe

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 5, Page 1015-1028, May 2024.
Our findings provide evidence of the necessity to enhance ecosystem functions while avoiding biotic homogenisation. Restoration programs should aim at increasing landscape connectivity which influences plant communities, pollinator assemblages and their interaction patterns.

Landscape structure and farming management interacts to modulate pollination supply and crop production in blueberries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 281-291, February 2024.
Deployment of beehives in blueberry fields can buffer, but not compensate for the negative effects on honeybee abundance produced by surrounding large scale none‐flowering crops. Such compensation would require high‐quality beehives by monitoring their health and strength.

Insect herbivory but not plant pathogen infection drive floral volatile‐mediated indirect effects on pollinators and plant fitness in Brassica rapa

Journal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 2, Page 402-415, February 2024.
Plants subjected to herbivory by the aphid Brevicoryne brassicae exhibited a marked reduction in the emission of two volatile organic compounds (nonanal and 2‐butyl‐1‐octanol), experienced lower pollinator visits and produced seeds of lower quality in terms of seed biomass and germination rate.
