The introduction of alien species can have a significant impact on the food preferences of native phytophagous insects. The moth Earias clorana L. has previously been considered to be monophagous, ingesting only plants in the genus Salix. In recent years, we have observed larval E. clorana feeding on Spiraea tomentosa L., an invasive shrub species in Central Europe that is native to North America...

Electricity pylons and power lines in an agricultural environment serve as artificial perching sites for many birds. For this reason, seeds of fleshy-fruited plant species are predominantly deposited in these places. In the present study we show that electricity pylons may play an important role in the succession of fleshy-fruited shrubs and trees in intensive farmland. The aim of the study was to...
