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 ...

The effect of multiple natural enemies on a shared herbivore prey. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Multiple natural enemies could contribute to more constant suppression of host dynamics. However, this depends on coexistence strategies. I find within‐guild complementarity to contribute to host population suppression. Abstract Natural enemy diversity is thought to be important for effective suppression of herbivores in production systems.

Arthropod Food Webs in the Foreland of a Retreating Greenland Glacier: Integrating Molecular Gut Content Analysis With Structural Equation Modelling. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study investigates the ecological dynamics of arthropod predators across a transect of an Arctic glacier foreland, to understand how climate change impacts predator–prey interactions. By integrating ecological observations with DNA metabarcoding, our research elucidates the role of the key prey species in shaping spider populations in these ...

Identification of two leafminer parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Neochrysocharis formosa and Proacrias sp. from Australia, with both showing thelytoky and infection by Rickettsia

Austral Entomology, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 358-369, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Liriomyza huidobrensis, L. sativae and L. trifolii are polyphagous agromyzid leafminers that have recently arrived in Australia, posing a threat to Australian vegetable and ornamental crops. Adventive and endemic hymenopteran parasitoids of agromyzid leafminers already present in Australia should assist in the management of these invasive ...

Biological Control of Alfalfa Blotch Leafminer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in Ontario: Status and Ecology of Parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Eulophidae) 20 Years After Introduction [PDF]

, 2018
Two European parasitoid species were released in Ontario during the late 1970\u27s to control the alfalfa blotch leafminer, Agromyza frontella (Rondani) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). One of these, Dacnusa dryas (Nixon) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), rapidly became

The tritrophic system hyptis suaveolens (Lamiaceae) - agromyzid leafminers (Diptera: Agromyzidae) - parasitoids (Hymenoptera): effects of herbivore density, host plant patch size, and habitat complexity on parasitism rate

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2009
In this study a tritrophic system was evaluated to measure the contributions of the insect host density and its host plant concentration in simple and diversified habitat on the rate of parasitism.
