DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.1451
Abstract: PREMISE Determining which traits characterize strategies of coexisting species is important to developing trait-based models of plant communities. First, global dimensions may not exist locally. Second, the degree to which traits and trait spectra constitute… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16097
Abstract: Wild plant species provide excellent examples of qualitative traits that evolve in response to environmental challenges (e.g., flower color, heavy metal tolerance, cyanogenesis, and male sterility). In addition to such discrete characters, a dazzling array… read more here.

Individual bee foragers are less efficient transporters of pollen for the plants from which they collect the most pollen into their scopae.

DOI: 10.1002/ajb2.16178
Abstract: PREMISE Bees provision most of the pollen they remove from anthers to their larvae and transport only a small proportion to stigmas, which can negatively affect plant fitness. Though most bee species collect pollen from… read more here.

Native herbivores and environmental heterogeneity as mediators of an exotic grass invasion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2727
Abstract: Abstract Given that many exotic plant species throughout the world are having large ecological and economic effects, it is vital to understand the forces that mediate their success in novel landscapes. Both native herbivores and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.4254
Abstract: Abstract Although DNA barcoding has been widely used to identify plant species composition in temperate and tropical ecosystems, relatively few studies have used DNA barcodes to document both herbaceous and woody components of forest plot.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6876
Abstract: Abstract Huanglongbing (HLB) is the most devastating citrus disease worldwide. The organism associated with the disease is spread by an insect vector, Diaphorina citri, commonly known as Asian citrus psyllid (ACP). Current management of HLB… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7201
Abstract: Abstract The seed dispersal mechanisms and regeneration of various forest ecosystems can benefit from the actions of carnivores via endozoochory. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of carnivores in endozoochory and diploendozoochory, as… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7766
Abstract: Abstract Groundwater is increasingly becoming a permanent and steady water source for the growth and reproduction of desert plant species due to the frequent channel cutoff events in arid inland river basins. Although it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8534
Abstract: Abstract One of the most important drivers for the coexistence of plant species is the resource heterogeneity of a certain environment, and several studies in different ecosystems have supported this resource heterogeneity–diversity hypothesis. However, to… read more here.

Urbanization increases floral specialization of pollinators

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8619
Abstract: Abstract Understanding how urbanization alters functional interactions among pollinators and plants is critically important given increasing anthropogenic land use and declines in pollinator populations. Pollinators often exhibit short‐term specialization and visit plants of the same… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8683
Abstract: Abstract Recent studies have revealed that some bacteria can inhabit plant seeds, and they are likely founders of the bacterial community in the rhizosphere of or inside plants at the early developmental stage. Given that… read more here.
