In this podcast, Functional Ecology author Fernando Gonçalves talks to Assistant Editor Amelia Macho about his article "Pollen essential amino acids shape bat–flower interaction networks".
Fernando's article discusses how pollen protein and amino acid composition influence year-round and seasonal bat–flower interaction networks. Its results underscore the essential role of pollen, not just nectar, as a key reward for attracting flower-visiting bats, and therefore highlights pollen content as an important driver structuring pollination networks.

Journal Club episode 1: Can developing climbing routes be a threat to endemic plants?
Welcome to the first episode of Journal Club, a new series that explores research papers to empower early-career researchers to read, utilise, and critically assess academic literature with confidence.
In this episode, our host, Matt Town, Professional Development Manager, discusses the Journal of Applied Ecology paper titled 'Climbing Route Development Affects Cliff Vascular Plants More Than Subsequent Climbing: A Guide to Evidence-Based Conservation Management to Regulate Climbing.'
Tune in to hear key insights from BES Assistant Editor Lydia, Associate Editor Phil Martin and Ardian Ardiantiono, and PhD student Lira Lewis.
