Noise pollution as a major disturbance of avian predation in Amsterdam
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Trophic interactions play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. In urban environments, avian predation has been demonstrated to be particularly important due to its effects on community structure, pest control, and nutrient cycling. As humanity relies upon ecosystem services for sustenance, and with 70% of the global population projected to ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract One of the most prevalent symbioses on Earth is that formed between the majority of land plants and arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Through these intimate associations, AM fungi transfer soil nutrients to their plant hosts in exchange for photosynthetically fixed ...

Diversification linked to larval host plant in the butterfly Eumedonia eumedon
Molecular Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 182-197, January 2023., 2023 Abstract It is widely accepted that the relationship between phytophagous insects and their host plants influences insect diversification. However, studies addressed at documenting host‐associated genetic differentiation (HAD) and the mechanisms that drive reproductive isolation in host‐associated lineages (or host races) are still scarce relative to ...

MethodsXAphids, as hemipteran insects, reproduce via parthenogenesis and viviparity, resulting in rapid and exponential offspring production. To investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying parthenogenetic viviparity in asexual aphids, precise protein ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants typically interact with multiple, co‐occurring symbionts, including arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi which can form networks, connecting neighbouring plants. A characteristic aspect of the mycorrhizal symbiosis is the bidirectional exchange of nutrients between ...

Evolutionary history of aphid-plant associations and their role in aphid diversification
Comptes Rendus. Biologies, 2010 Aphids are intimately linked with their host plants that constitute their only food resource and habitat, and thus impose considerable selective pressure on their evolution. It is therefore commonly assumed that host plants have greatly influenced the diversification of aphids.

Quantifying phenotypic plasticity: A call for consistency
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The interest of evolutionary, functional and applied ecologists in the study of phenotypic plasticity has grown considerably in recent decades. From being considered irrelevant in the mid‐20th century, phenotypic plasticity is now considered ubiquitous and essential for

, 2014 Belonging to the superfamily Aphidoidea, aphids are Hemiptera insects, many of the species causing economic damage to most cultivated plants. This occurs directly, when they suck the sap and weaken the plants, or indirectly through the transmission of several plant diseases, especially of a viral nature. Aphids cause this plant damage using their biter-
