The pick of the plot: An evidence‐based approach for selecting and testing suitable plants to use in annual seed mixes to attract insect pollinators Open
Societal Impact Statement Concern regarding wild pollinator declines has increased motivation to plant pollinator‐friendly plants in gardens and urban areas, but ‘plants for pollinators’ recommendations are often anecdotal and inaccurate. …

Phylogenomic inference <i>in extremis</i>: A case study with mycoheterotroph plastomes Open
Premise of the Study Phylogenomic studies employing large numbers of genes, including those based on plastid genomes (plastomes), are becoming common. Nonphotosynthetic plants such as mycoheterotrophs (which rely on root‐associated fungi f…

Broad-scale genetic homogeneity in natural populations of common hazel (Corylus avellana) in Ireland Open
Hazel (Corylus avellana) has been a key species in European woodlands throughout the Holocene (10 KYA–present). Like many tree species, it is increasingly under threat from climate change, habitat loss and fragmentation, invasive species a…

Pure species in a continuum of genetic and morphological variation: sympatric oaks at the edge of their range Open
Despite millennia of hybridization and introgression, genetically and morphologically pure individuals of both Q. petraea and Q. robur can be found at the edge of their range, where both species occur sympatrically. The high proportion of …

The paradox of invasion: <span>R</span>eeves' muntjac deer invade the <span>B</span>ritish <span>I</span>sles from a limited number of founding females Open
High levels of genetic diversity and high propagule pressure are favoured by conservation biologists as the basis for successful reintroductions and ensuring the persistence of populations. However, invasion ecologists recognize the ‘parad…
