What happens to nutrients, after a carnivorous plant has digested its prey?
While carnivorous plants eat insects, they get most of their energy from photosynthesis, like other plants. New research investigates how carnivory affects photosynthesis.

New research shows that Bioenergy plants need to be in the right location to deliver benefits
Finding the win-wins for Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) as we move to net zero – for the UK at least, size matters.

Individual variation in plant dispersal and fecundity increases rates of spatial spread
The highest increases in spread rates occur when variation in dispersal positively co-varies with fecundity.

Ethnobiologists consider their impact during and after the COVID-19 pandemic
A group of scientists with diverse backgrounds reached out to each other under unprecedented times and set out new goals for their own discipline.

Citizen science data can complement collections well for some applications
The range and occurrence of anther smut shows very similar patterns in both collections and iNaturalist data.

Scientists suggest bringing a fresh set of eyes to the problem, ‘When did the first flowers evolve?’
A disagreement on when flowers evolved could be solved by studying the real experts on pollination, the pollinators.
Creating the conservationists of the future in times of rapidly shifting baselines
Planting urban trees could also plant a seed of conservation in children.

Wait! There is no such thing as a ‘specialist’ or ‘generalist’ plant pathogen
The latest study published in the Nature Communications journal reveals that pathogens with more diverse host plants do not have a wider temperature range.
Feeding (or not feeding) a fungus: plants may not be so good to their fungal partners after all
Interactions between plants and fungal symbionts are not always balanced affairs.

in silico Plants Maximizes the Visibility of Your Paper
Having your paper accepted is not the end of the production process.
Advancing an interdisciplinary framework to study seed dispersal ecology
Although dispersal is generally viewed as a crucial determinant for the fitness of any organism, our understanding of its role in the persistence and spread of plant populations remains incomplete. Dispersal influences...
Ex Situ Collections Not Reaching Genetic Diversity Goals
More efficient sampling could capture greater diversity without overwhelming space constraints.
Life in the canopy is different : How genetics impacts variation in herbivory on oak trees
Trees may invest more in protecting their canopy leaves from munching insects than their other leaves
