The role of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in the competition between invasive and native plants depends on the soil nitrogen form

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant invasion and nitrogen (N) deposition are escalating global change threats. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are increasingly recognized as critical mediators of plant invasion success, largely through their role in enhancing host nutrient acquisition.

An Economic and Environmental Analysis of Virtual Fencing for Precision Grazing

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The UK grazing livestock sector is challenged by declining farm profitability and stringent environmental policy. Innovative technologies such as virtual fencing could enable a balanced economic and environmental performance of beef production. Virtual fencing is a livestock management tool relying on invisible boundaries perceived as auditory,

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

Identification of six Papilionaceae species by epidermal characteristics: Microanalysis of handcomposed mixtures Identificación de seis especies de Papilionaceae mediante características epidérmicas: microanálisis de mezclas compuestas a mano

Boletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica, 2009
The microhistological analysis quantifies the botanical composition of herbivore diets by the identification of the epidermal characters of ingested species. Many Papilionaceae form part of herbivore diets due to their high nutritive quality.

Trifolium intercropping promotes amino acid metabolism and suppresses flavonoid metabolism of tea plants

Beverage Plant Research
This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism of trifolium-tea intercropping on the metabolism of tea plants. High-throughput sequencing was used for transcriptome analysis to screen differential expressed genes (DEGs) between mono- and inter-cropped tea ...

Metabarcoding of Pollen Carried by Syrphids Reveals Novel Plant–Pollinator Interactions in a Protected Natural Area and Agricultural Sites

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Using DNA metabarcoding, this study investigates pollen transported by syrphids (Syrphidae) in the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park and agricultural sites in Northern Italy. The analysis reveals a high diversity of visited plant taxa, including previously undocumented plant–pollinator interactions.

Natural Parasitism of Nezara viridula (Linnaeus) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) by Trichopoda pictipennis Bigot (Diptera: Tachinidae) in an Organic Strawberry Field in Germany

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Natural parasitism of the invasive southern green stinkbug was recorded in an organic strawberry cropping system in southwestern Germany. The tachinid fly Trichopoda pictipennis shows successful establishment and field activity, indicating ongoing range expansion.

Non‐crop habitats and cover crops as potential ecological corridors and stepping stones for autumnal migrating hoverflies

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Mass migration of hoverflies was observed near Prague city in a highly agricultural landscape, representing only the second record of hoverfly migration in the Czech Republic. This rare observation was likely driven by the need to rest, shelter and replenish energy, although most flowers had already finished blooming.
