Roadside vegetation in Central Europe is mostly species‐poor and dominated by a few grass species. Hemiparasitic plant species, including Rhinanthus spp., might effectively restrict grass growth, thereby making space for light‐dependent herb species. Despite the significance of abiotic site conditions for plant establishment in general, their effec...

Macrocyclic lactone anthelmintics are widely used to control invertebrate pests in livestock, such as sheep. While anthelmintic effects on non‐target animals, such as dung‐dwelling insects, are well studied, effects on seed germination are largely unknown. Seeds can come into contact with anthelmintics either during passage through the gastro‐intes...

... The few studies that addressed effects of MLs on seed germination or seedling development are under laboratory conditions and predominantly found suppressing, but also some stimulating effects, depending on plant species, ML drug and concentration of ML solution (Eichberg et al., 2016(Eichberg et al., , 2022Laber et al., 2023;Vokřál et al., 2019). Among tested MLs, formulated MOX appeared to have the strongest effects on seeds and generally led to reductions in germination percentage, increases in mean germination time and reductions in synchrony of germination (Eichberg et al., 2016). ...
