Long‐term nutrient addition and grazing exclusion determine flower abundance, diversity and community composition in high‐latitude grasslands

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The abundance and composition of flowers within plant communities shape the resources available to flower‐visiting insects. However, it remains unclear how nutrient enrichment and changes in grazing impact plant communities and their floral resources, and whether these effects contribute to ongoing pollinator decline. We investigated how the abundance,

Nectar concentrations of biogenic amines affect bumble bee behavior in a dose‐dependent manner

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
While foraging, pollinators encounter a wide array of molecules, some of which may influence their internal states and behaviors. Among these, biogenic amines – nitrogenous compounds that serve as essential neuromodulators in animals – have only recently been detected in floral nectar.

A graduated nativeness definition for overcoming dilemmas and difficulties of vascular plant species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Nativeness is a concept central to biodiversity conservation and invasion biology, but there are several problems related to a classic binary nativeness definition. Dilemmas arise from the dynamic nature of species' distribution ranges on longer time scales, and difficulties arise in the application to smaller regions defined by arbitrary borders, and ...
