Generalist passerine birds perform a functional role as pollinators in temperate Europe
Nectar‐feeding birds are effective pollinators. In temperate Europe, songbirds visit flowers but lack specialist traits, so functional pollination has been discounted. We use observations, pollen identification and experiments to demonstrate that generalist birds affect fruit‐set of flowering trees.

Pinellia pedatisecta has a simplified inflorescence structure, compared to its congeners with highly specialized trap pollination systems. However, our study suggests that P. pedatisecta also captures and releases pollinating insects by the spathe movement during flowering season.

Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus: A persistent seed‐borne threat to cucurbits
Cucumber green mottle mosaic virus (CGMMV) is a highly stable, seed‐borne tobamovirus that threatens global cucurbit production. Its efficient mechanical and seed transmission, long‐term environmental persistence, and the spread of Clade II CGMMV isolates drive its rapid dissemination and cause severe yield losses.
