Reproductive success increases with local density of conspecifics in a desert mustard (Lesquerella fendleri).
TL;DR: It is argued that increased pollinator visitation is the most likely cause of this facilitation of reproductive success and that investigations of the effects of rarity on reproductive success should directly consider density along with more commonly used attributes such as population size and fragmentation.

Disruption of a plant-lizard seed dispersal system and its ecological effects on a threatened endemic plant in the Balearic Islands
Anna Traveset,Núria Riera +1 more
TL;DR: These results are the first that quantitatively show that a biological invasion can cause a disruption of a specialized plant-vertebrate mutualism that sets the plant partner on the road to extinction.

Past Imperfect: Using Historical Ecology and Baseline Data for Conservation and Restoration Projects in North America
TL;DR: In this paper, the emergence, development, and use of the "ecological baseline" concept for three levels of biological organization are examined, and it is argued that the baseline concept is problematic for establishing restoration targets.
Facilitation by herbivore‐mediated nurse plants in a threatened tree, Taxus baccata: local effects and landscape level consistency
Daniel García,José Ramón Obeso +1 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that nurse plants mitigate the negative effect of herbivores on yew regeneration, by providing defence against browsing and trampling, and range-scale yew management must consider the local functioning of the interaction among avian seed-dispersers, nurse fleshy-fruited plants and ungulate herbivory in combination with regional measures, targeting the habitats where facilitation emerges.

Ex Situ Plant Conservation and Beyond
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present results from a survey conducted to assess current conservation activities at botanic gardens, and suggest many ways gardens can measure the success of their conservation programs.
