Field boundary features can stabilise bee populations and the pollination of mass-flowering crops in rotational systems
Gardner, Emma; Breeze, Tom D.; Clough, Yann; Smith, Henrik G.; Baldock, Katherine C. R.; Campbell, Alistair; Garratt, Michael P. D.; Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk; Kunin, William E.; McKerchar, Megan; Potts, Simon G.; Senapathi, Deepa; Stone, Graham N.; Wäckers, Felix; Westbury, Duncan B.; Wilby, Andrew; Oliver, Tom H. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Pollinators experience large spatiotemporal fluctuations in resource availability when mass-flowering crops are rotated with resource-poor cereal crops. Yet, few studies have considered the effect this has on pollinator ... -
Grassland plant and invertebrate species richness increases from mowing are mediated by impacts on soil chemistry
Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk; Buckley, Hannah L.; Condron, Leo; Wratten, Stephen D. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Pasture and improved grasslands are commonly managed by a combination of artificial fertilisation and biomass removal, but a deeper understanding of how management options interact over the long-term are required to improve ... -
Junipers enable heavily browsed rowan saplings to escape ungulates in boreal forest
Hegland, Stein Joar; Rydgren, Knut; Lilleeng, Marte Synnøve; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Recent increases in ungulate herbivore populations have intensified browsing pressure in northern forest ecosystems. High browsing pressure affects recruitment into tree populations and saplings are among the most impacted ... -
Molecular and ecological plant defense responses along an elevational gradient in a boreal ecosystem
Benevenuto, Rafael Fonseca; Seldal, Tarald; Polashock, James; Moe, Stein Ragnar; Rodriguez-Saona, Cesar; Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk; Hegland, Stein Joar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plants have the capacity to alter their phenotype in response to environmental factors, such as herbivory, a phenomenon called phenotypic plasticity. However, little is known on how plant responses to herbivory are modulated ... -
Repeated survey along the foreland of a receding Norwegian glacier reveals shifts in succession of beetles and spiders
Klopsch, Christian; Yde, Jacob C.; Matthews, John A; Vater, Amber E; Gillespie, Mark Andrew Kusk (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Glacier forelands provide important sites to study climate-forced ecological succession because a chronosequence is apparent along a single valley. However, most studies of invertebrate succession in forelands provide a ...
