Evaluating cultivars for pollinator gardens

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Pollinator gardening is a rapidly growing community‐based conservation movement, yet evidence‐based guidelines for practice are largely missing. In particular, it is unclear whether cultivars of flowering plants (i.e., horticultural varieties)‐can support pollinators as effectively as their wild‐type counterparts.

Carbon finance initiatives can provide biodiversity benefits

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
We evaluated the biodiversity co‐benefits of a REDD+ initiative in the tropical forests of Sierra Leone and Liberia using a quasi‐experimental study design. Complementary measures from bioacoustics and DNA metabarcoding revealed that REDD+‐financed protected areas were associated with additional biodiversity benefits compared to control areas.

Making Learning Personally Relevant: Sensemaking Assets Used in Families' Discussions While Using a Pollinator‐Focused Mobile Augmented Reality App

open access: yesScience Education, Volume 110, Issue 2, Page 525-542, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This study seeks to better understand the unique sensemaking assets that rural families weave into their outdoor learning experience while using a location‐based mobile app focused on healthy habitats for solitary bees. The project included mobile augmented reality (AR) technologies, which are increasingly used as educational tools at informal

Weak defence in a tritrophic system: olfactory response to salicylaldehyde reflects prey specialization of potter wasps

open access: yesChemoecology, 2013
Predatory arthropods are attracted to infochemicals emitted by their herbivore prey or by the prey’s host plants. We studied such a tritrophic system measuring the olfactory responses of three potter wasp species (Symmorphusmurarius, Symmorphusgracilis, Discoeliuszonalis, Hymenoptera: Eumeninae) to salicylaldehyde, sequestered as a defence compound by ...

An integrated social–ecological–evolutionary–phenotypic (SEEP) approach to understanding animal responses to urbanization

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 419-436, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans play key roles in shaping the structure and processes of ecosystems globally, especially in cities. This recognition has prompted a recent focus on understanding urban systems via interactions between human social systems and ecological and evolutionary processes.
