ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

We surveyed 119 stands of common milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) across an urbanisation gradient to investigate how restored garden habitat might ameliorate the negative effects of urbanisation on specialist herbivores. Surprisingly, we found most herbivores (including the monarch butterfly) had greater occupancy on common milkweed towards an urban centre.

ABSTRACT The aroid vine Epipremnum aureum undergoes changes in habitat and growth axis direction from terrestrial (plagiotropic) to canopy (orthotropic) conditions. Since aerial roots connected to the forest soil are vital for water and nutrient uptake in these vines, we hypothesize that morphophysiological acclimation occurs, enabling root survival ...

An increase in stem thickness and ontogeny of successive cambia, intraxylary cambium, and inter‐and intraxylary phloem is elaborated for the first time in Ipomoea asarifolia (Desr.) Roem. & Schult. (Convolvulaceae). As the plants grew older, several small segments of cambium were initiated simultaneously external to the phloem formed by regular ...
