"It seems that both groups are picking the flowers when they're feeding - they're walking about and you can see them pick flower after flower after flower after flower." In this podcast, Jurene Kemp talks about her paper, Cryptic petal coloration decreases floral apparency and herbivory in nocturnally closing daisies - recently shortlisted for Functional Ecology's Haldane Prize.

FE Ken Thompson & Hal Halvorson: algae, fungi and leaf decomposition
"Breaking down leaves is basically hard work, so if the fungi have the option of an easier life, they take it?" Why - and how - do algae slow the rate of leaf decomposition in aquatic ecosystems? In this podcast, Ken Thompson interviews Hal Halvorson about his paper "Periphytic algae decouple fungal activity from leaf litter decomposition via negative priming", recently shortlisted for Functional Ecology's Haldane prize. (Find this and the other shortlisted papers at http://j.mp/2019HaldaneShortlist).
