It’s the colours you cannot see that are important to the bees of Cameroon.
Soil chemistry, not short-term deer exclusion, explains understory plant occupancy in Pennsylvania oak forests
A study of deer browsing has uncovered the contribution of soil chemistry to ‘the ghost of herbivory past’.
Drivers of the relative richness of naturalized and invasive plant species on Earth
Why do some places have more invasive species than others? Essl and colleagues look at human action.
Biochemical and physiological flexibility accompanies reduced cellulose biosynthesis in the model grass Brachypodium distachyon
How do grasses make cellulose for cell walls? Brabham and colleagues have been examining the genes.

The total dispersal kernel: a review and future directions
Accurate position exchange of stamen and stigma resolves the herkogamy dilemma in a protandrous plant, Ajuga decumbens (Labiatae)
Domestication influences morphological and physiological responses to salinity in Brassica oleracea seedlings
Wild germplasm can potentially be used to improve the salt tolerance of crops by the identification of useful genes and incorporation of these into salinity-sensitive cultivars.
Climate change, snow mold and the Bromus tectorum invasion: mixed evidence for release from cold weather pathogens
Thinning snow pack cover could alter how snow molds interact with plants over the winter.
