Evaluating endophyte‐rich leaves and leaf functional traits for protection of tropical trees against natural enemies

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 2, Page 371-389, February 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plants use physical barriers and chemical compounds to defend themselves against natural enemies. For instance, tough leaves are considered to be better defended than soft leaves, part of a spectrum of defences defined by functional traits such as leaf chemistry ...

Bimodal alarm signals modulate responses to monomodal alarm signals in Camponotus modoc carpenter ants

open access: yesInsect Science, Volume 32, Issue 1, Page 343-355, February 2025.
Distressed Camponotus modoc carpenter ants emit alarm pheromone and produce vibratory alarm signals. Presented as a monomodal signal, the pheromone attracts nestmates, whereas vibratory signals cause nestmates to “freeze” or to run fast. Sensing a bimodal signal complex, nestmates are less attracted to pheromone but stay “frozen” longer which seems ...

Common ant species dominate morphospace: unraveling the morphological diversity in the Brazilian Amazon Basin

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2024, Issue 11, November 2024.
Rare plant and vertebrate species have been documented to contribute disproportionately to the total morphological structure of species assemblages. These species often possess morphologically extreme traits and occupy the boundaries of morphological space.

Antennal chemoreceptors in the European ectoparasitoid Sclerodermus cereicollis (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae)

open access: yesMicroscopy Research and Technique, Volume 87, Issue 10, Page 2275-2291, October 2024.
An evident sexual dimorphism concerning antennae length, types, number, and distribution of chemosensilla is shown. Long sensilla basiconica are present in females and could play a role in the host location and/or maternal care. Multiporous sensilla chaetica, longer and mostly represented in males, could play a role in intraspecific relationships ...
