Climate-driven specialisation in plant-pollinator networks peaks outside the tropics

The paper shows climate, not latitude, drives plant-pollinator specialisation globally, with specialisation peaking at northern mid-latitudes and declining in warmer, more seasonal climates.

Microbial partners drive legume trait plasticity and tripartite interaction outcomes under combined stress environments

This study shows that different rhizobial strains affect legume responses to drought and herbivory, altering plant traits and herbivore growth through tripartite interactions.
