Vertical Stratification of Predation on Aulacaspis yasumatsui Infesting Cycas micronesica Seedlings [PDF]
HortScience, 2013 Container-grown Cycas micronesica seedlings were purposefully infested with Aulacaspis yasumatsui and then installed at 0, 75, or 150 cm above the ground to investigate effects of infestation height on predation by Rhyzobius lophanthae. Significantly more scales on elevated seedlings were attacked by the predator.

Limited sex differences in plastic responses suggest evolutionary conservatism of thermal reaction norms: A meta-analysis in insects. [PDF]
Evol Lett, 2022 Abstract Temperature has a profound effect on the growth and development of ectothermic animals. However, the extent to which ecologically driven selection pressures can adjust thermal plastic responses in growth schedules is not well understood. Comparing temperature‐induced plastic responses between sexes provides a promising but underexploited ...
