Study on the Genetic Diversity Characteristics of the Endemic Plant Rhododendron bailiense in Guizhou, China Based on SNP Molecular Markers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study is the first to use ddRAD‐seq sequencing technology for Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) analysis, systematically analyzing the genetic background of R. bailiense. This species exhibits rich genetic diversity at both species and population levels.

Exploring habitat‐density relationships and model transferability for an alpine bird using abundance models

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 5, Issue 4, October–December 2024.
We assessed how well models aiming to predict spatial variation in abundance transfer from one context to another for an alpine bird species. We found that transferability was in general low, and decreased as the spatial distance between the study sites increased.

Underexplored food safety hazards of beekeeping products: Key knowledge gaps and suggestions for future research

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 23, Issue 5, September 2024.
Abstract These days, a growing consumer demand and scientific interest can be observed for nutraceuticals of natural origin, including apiculture products. Due to the growing emphasis on environmental protection, extensive research has been conducted on the pesticide and heavy metal contamination of bee products; however, less attention is devoted on ...

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 112, Issue 8, Page 1686-1700, August 2024.
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

Estimating reference conditions using baseline vegetation data to inform large‐scale ecosystem restoration efforts

open access: yesApplied Vegetation Science, Volume 27, Issue 3, July/September 2024.
Through analysing vegetation communities and their relationship with environmental factors, our study establishes the location and composition of positive reference sites across a 4700‐ha proposed restoration area of conifer plantation in the west of Ireland.

How generalist insect herbivores respond to alien plants? The case of Aphis fabae–Myzus persicae–Rhododendron ponticum

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 4, Page 1795-1801, April 2024.
In this study, we compared the potential colonization of the invasive Pontic rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum L.) versus the common rearing host plants by two generalist aphid species (Aphis fabae and Myzus persicae). Despite their ability to feed on this invasive plant, the two aphid species hardly survived and poorly reproduced.

Pollen, anther, stamen, and androecium mimicry

open access: yesPlant Biology, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 349-368, April 2024.
Mimics of pollen, anthers, stamens, and androecia, their models and pollen eating bees and hoverflies constitute the world's largest mimicry system. ABSTRACT Floral colours represent a highly diverse communication signal mainly involved in flower visitors' attraction and guidance, but also flower discrimination, filtering non‐pollinators and ...

Integrating spatiotemporal hydrological connectivity into conservation planning to protect temporary rivers

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 3, March 2024.
Abstract Temporary rivers (TRs) have been largely overlooked in conservation assessments. Because TRs are such dynamic ecosystems, spatial and temporal aspects of their hydrology and ecology need to be taken into account when designing conservation plans.

Plant demographic knowledge is biased towards short‐term studies of temperate‐region herbaceous perennials

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2024, Issue 1, January 2024.
Plant demography has a long history resulting in a large knowledge base. Comparative analysis of this information allows exploration of the drivers of demographic patterns globally and the study of life‐history evolution. Studies aiming to generalise demographic patterns rely on data being derived from a representative sample.

Prediction of lime tolerance in Rhododendron based on herbarium specimen and geochemical data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Rhododendrons are typically known to be calcifuges that cannot grow well in lime soils. Data on lime tolerance of different taxa in Rhododendron are scarce.
