Journal ArticleDOI
Islands, mainland, and terrestrial fragments: How isolation shapes plant diversity.
TL;DR: An important role of habitat amount around fragments is suggested in mitigating the isolation effects observed in near‐shore islands, and the importance of carefully considering different functional groups is suggested.

Forage use and niche partitioning by non-native bumblebees in New Zealand: implications for the conservation of their populations of origin
TL;DR: Forage visits made by bumblebees in New Zealand were recorded across a season and diel partitioning of forage use between the species was observed, with foraging activity of B. ruderatus and B. hortorum greatest in the morning and evening, B. terrestris intermediate between the two, and implications for bumblebee conservation in the UK are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction of the Edinburgh lineage of the allopolyploid neospecies, Senecio cambrensis Rosser (Asteraceae)
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Edinburgh lineage of S. cambrensis is now extinct and possible causes of its extinction are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Is there a benefit of excluding sheep from pastures at flowering peak on flower-visiting insect diversity?
TL;DR: Temporarily excluding sheep from pastures during peak flowering could offer an opportunity to preserve the diversity of flower-visiting insects, in spite of weaker benefits than could have been expected from previous surveys with cattle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do competitive interactions in dry heathlands explain plant abundance patterns and species coexistence
TL;DR: The study supports the “successional mosaic hypothesis” where the maintenance of coexistence between C. vulgaris and D.flexuosa requires a storage effect and disturbance events followed by initial colonisation by D. flexuosa.
