Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Preliminary survey of indigenous parasites associated with Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton (Lepidoptera, Gracillariidae) in Jeju, Korea

Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2015
In order to identify the parasitoids of Phyllocnistis citrella Stainton [commonly known as the citrus leafminer (CLM)], we collected CLM larvae and pupae in the Seogwipo area of Jeju-do, identified parasitoid species, and determined parasitism rates.
