From low to high elevations, flowers adapt traits and phenology to climate, but phenology‐trait relationships weak

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Flowering phenology is central to plant reproductive success and can relate to morphological traits such as size and quality of flowers, but phenology–trait associations of flowers remain unclear.

Separate and synergistic anti‐herbivore effects of non‐glandular trichomes and leaf chemistry in a desert plant

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant defence phenotypes commonly integrate physical and chemical traits that may act synergistically against herbivores, but empirical evidence for synergy as a defence strategy remains limited.

Are crop yields limited by pollinators? Proper assessments using pollinator gradients require measurements of flower density and yield potential

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract It is widely documented that many crops depend on animal—and primarily insect—pollination, but the degree to which pollinators limit yield in comparison with other factors is poorly understood.

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.

Plant Variety Registration in Transition: Opportunities for Innovation and Reform in The European Union Enregistrement des variétés végétales en transition : opportunités d’innovation et de réforme dans l’Union européenne Die Registrierung von Pflanzensorten im Wandel: Chancen für Innovation und Neugestaltung in der Europäischen Union

EuroChoices, EarlyView.
Summary Modernising the European Union’s plant variety registration system is critical to enabling the development and adoption of sustainable, climate‐resilient varieties aligned with the EU Farm‐to‐Fork Strategy. However, the current system is outdated and under increasing pressure. While legislative reform is underway, key points of divergence among
