Biodiversity-ecosystem function experiments test how species diversity influences
fundamental ecosystem processes. Historically, arthropod driven functions, such as …

Herbicides applied alone have failed to reduce weed populations in agricultural
ecosystems. The use of this management strategy has followed other problems such as …

Species of carabid (ground) beetles are among the most important postdispersal weed seed
predators in temperate arable lands. Field studies have shown that carabid beetles can …

Temperate native grasslands in Australia have been decimated across their range since
European colonization (> 200 years ago), and the few remaining remnants are mostly …

Mutualism effectiveness, the contribution of an interacting organism to its partner's fitness, is
defined as the number of immediate outcomes of the interactions (quantity component) …

Nectar is crucial to maintain plant-pollinator mutualism. Nectar quality (nutritional
composition) can vary strongly between individuals of the same plant species. The factors …

Abstract Madsen et al.(2016) reviewed several major limiting factors to establishment of
seedlings in nonforest ecosystems (NFE), and proposed seed enhancement technologies to …

This account presents information on all aspects of the biology of Knautia arvensis (L.)
Coult.(Field Scabious) that are relevant to understanding its ecological characteristics and …

Seed predation can cause substantial seed losses and influence plant population dynamics,
but the impact depends on the extent to which populations are limited by seed availability or …
