New opportunities for grassland species in warming temperate winters
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Temperate winters are getting warmer, the length of the growing season is increasing and mid‐winter fluctuations of warm and freezing temperatures are more frequent. Although typically winter dormant, some herbaceous perennials can maintain or grow green leaves during ...

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview
Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

The importance of the oil-shale Bings of West Lothian, Scotland, to local and national biodiversity [PDF]
, 2006 The oil-shale bings of West Lothian, Scotland, are a group of post-industrial waste sites, unique in Britain and Western Europe. The industrial exploitation of oil-bearing rocks has created a habitat with its own distinctive flora and fauna.

Distance of movement in three threatened butterfly species
Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Multi‐year mark–recapture analysis using net displacement and Cormack–Jolly–Seber models shows similar daily detectability (0.17–0.22) among species, supporting robust interspecific comparisons. Dispersal kernels differ: lognormal best for Euphydryas aurinia and Parnassius apollo, exponential for Phengaris arion; P.

Ten Bee Species New to Green Roofs in the Chicago Area [PDF]
, 2018 Green roofs increasingly provide habitat for many insects in urban environments. Pollinators such as bees may utilize foraging and nesting resources provided by green roofs but few studies have documented which species occur in these novel habitats. This

Mowing Modulates the Biotic Filter of Expansive Species
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.Management type and expansive species influence plant community diversity in complex ways. Overall increase of expansive species cover acts as biotic filter in reducing the alpha and beta taxonomic and phylogenetical diversity. However, the filtering effect is modulated by management type, being more intense under mown grasslands.
