This study shows that Rhododendron x pulchrum and Lamium amplexicaule increase nectar sugar concentration in response to bee buzzing sounds, with a sensitivity threshold and involvement of petals and stamens in sound sensing.

This study evaluates an eDNA-based environmental education program for high school students, finding it increases biodiversity knowledge and conservation interest.

This study shows that generalist flowers recover faster than specialist flowers in grassland restoration, influencing pollinator communities and network structure over time.

This study shows that past forestation negatively affects grassland pollination networks and plant reproduction, with effects persisting for decades after restoration.

This study shows that allopolyploidy in Commelina species enhances survival in urban environments compared to diploid relatives.

The paper examines how habitat continuity affects the relationship between plant and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal communities, finding stronger covariation in old grasslands.

This study compares seed dispersal traits between two closely related plant subspecies with contrasting urban range expansions and contractions, finding differential responses to urbanisation.
