Report of a floral visitor of Cypripedium irapeanum (Orchidaceae) in Tepoztlán, Morelos, Mexico

open access: yesPolibotánica, 2018
The process and participating actors of pollination have fascinated many scholars since the time of Darwin. Nevertheless, for many species of orchids, the identity of the pollinator or the purpose of floral visits remains unknown.

Understanding the effects of patch‐burn grazing management on aboveground grassland invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Landscape heterogeneity is widely recognized as a driver of biodiversity, yet its consequences for above‐ground, foliage‐dwelling insect communities under active grassland management remain underexplored. Patch‐burn grazing (PBG), which rotates fire across patches within a grazed landscape, is designed to promote spatial and temporal heterogeneity by ...

Partial recovery of large seed arrival following ecological restoration in fragmented tropical rainforests

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Forest restoration success depends crucially on the reinitiation of ecological processes such as seed arrival that drive natural regeneration. We know little about whether, by increasing and diversifying local seed sources to alleviate seed limitation, and attracting animal frugivores to alleviate dispersal limitation, restoration could shift seed ...

Habitat‐based spatial patterns enable realistic reconstruction of plant spatial arrangements across complex landscapes

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Spatially explicit individual‐based models provide a powerful way to explore spatial dynamics when direct observation is not feasible. But for many ecological applications, these models require detailed data on the initial spatial arrangement and traits of individuals – information rarely available in large, heterogeneous or novel landscapes.

Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Policy Capacity for Novel Technology Adoption: Developmental Insights From Singapore's AI Adoption in Long‐Term Care

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Worldwide, artificial intelligence‐driven technologies, including robotics and autonomous systems (RAS), are adopted to address manpower shortages in long‐term care. However, their effective use requires a reasonable degree of policy capacity across individual‐, organisational‐ and system‐levels.
