Ecological Observations on Predatory Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) in Southwestern Michigan [PDF]
, 2017 Ecological observations on habitat utilization by thirteen species of predatory Coccinellidae were made at a southern Michigan site during 1989 and 1990. Most of species were common during both years and used both agricul- tural and uncultivated habitats.

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

Aphid acceptance of Hordeum genotypes is affected by plant volatile exposure and is correlated with aphid growth [PDF]
, 2009 Nineteen genotypes of Hordeum vulgare were characterized as partially resistant or susceptible regarding growth of the bird cherry - oat aphid (Rhopalosiphum padi L.).

The role of developmental plasticity in eco‐phenotypic population dynamics
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Individual variation in development can strongly impact population density via its impact on demography. When this variation in development is caused by developmental plasticity, the resulting effects on population density are characterised as ‘eco‐phenotypic dynamics ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Interactions between developing embryos and a multitude of environmental factors (e.g. climate, nutrition, social cues, stress and anthropogenic contaminants) underlie adaptive and non‐adaptive developmental plasticity and carry broad implications across ecological ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Agricultural landscape simplification due to the loss of semi‐natural habitats can act as an environmental filter for species and their functional traits. Both local‐ and landscape‐level factors can shape community structure; although through different mechanisms.
