Plants, Pollinators and Pheromones: Promises and Lies of Semiochemicals

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 48, Issue 9, Page 6865-6873, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Pollination is traditionally regarded as a quintessential mutualism, yet many plants employ deceptive strategies to achieve reproductive success. Among the most intriguing is sexual deception, wherein flowers mimic the sex pheromones and visual signals of female insects to attract male pollinators—without providing any reward.

Muskrat Island: Behavioral Shifts of an Insular Muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) Population in the Gulf of Maine

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.
The North American fur trade fundamentally shifted baselines of furbearing mammals worldwide. Using camera traps and visual surveys, we document unexpected ecological and behavioral characteristics of a population of muskrats (Ondatra zibethicus) that was likely introduced to the Isles of Shoals (Maine/New Hampshire, USA) in the early 1900s.

Both Native and Introduced Non‐Crop Flowering Plants Around Orchards Support Potential Crop Pollinators and Other Beneficial Insects

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract Non‐crop floral resources in agricultural areas play an important role in supporting crop pollinating taxa and increasing biodiversity. We studied flower‐insect interactions to two spring flowering crops and accompanying non‐crop flowering resources (introduced/native) in apple and blueberry orchards in southern Tasmania, Australia, to (i ...
