Funding the bud bank: A review of the costs of buds
Article Abstract:
The two themes, investigators estimate carbon costs of constructing and marinating buds, they develop a framework for thinking quantitatively about the costs and benefits, are discussed. The fact that many species do not maintain bud banks suggests that the benefits of buds may be negligible for them.

Conspicuousness, not colour as foraging cue in plant-animal signalling
Article Abstract:
Trials are carried out to determine whether colour or conspicuousness influences avian food choice. Four bird species strongly preferred contrasting red-green or black-green over un-coloured red, green or black fruit displays, while no preference for particular hues was found.

Estimating the richness of species with variable mobility
Article Abstract:
A first decision framework is provided for choosing the most accurate abundance-based species-richness estimators. These decisions are expected to significantly improve the investigators' ability to estimate the richness of the faunal species.
