   Jun 26, 2024 · In this article, I’ll examine how and why some plants evolved extraordinary mimicry of animal forms. While plants can’t literally see animals, we’ll explore the indirect sensory mechanisms guiding this adaptive illusion. Let’s dig into the mysteries of plants that impersonate birds, bees, and more!

   5 days ago · The decline in seed dispersers—not just birds, but also mammals, reptiles, and ants— could jeopardize the ability of plants to expand their range to cope with climate change or recover after wildfire, he adds, especially in Europe’s highly fragmented landscape. “It’s a fantastic analysis,” says Lynn Dicks, a conservation scientist ...

   Losing one species can have cascading impacts on wider biodiversity – for example, declines in wildflower habitats impact invertebrates, which in turn impacts birds and mammals that eat those invertebrates as well as other plants that rely on invertebrates for pollination.

   How did DNA prove that species were only distantly related?

   • Scientists have known for a long time that species that we assumed were only distantly related had evolved the same or similar adaptations to the same environmental pressures. The discovery of DNA helped to confirm this theory.

   Why are birds declining in the UK?

   • It is one of the biggest drivers of bird population declines in the UK, with 46% of UK bird species falling between 2016 and 2021. The UK ‘Red List’ for birds includes species considered of greatest conservation concern, due to population and distribution declines, rarity, and international importance.

   What are species interactions?

   • Species interactions form the basis for many ecosystem properties and processes such as nutrient cycling and food webs. The nature of these interactions can vary depending on the evolutionary context and environmental conditions in which they occur.

   Why do birds colonise more in protected areas than in unprotected areas?

   • A recent peer-reviewed BTO study revealed important new evidence that birds colonise, persist, and occur in higher numbers in protected areas than in unprotected landscapes. The research suggests that this is because populations in protected sites breed more successfully.
