Phytozoophagous insects such as Lygus lineolaris feed on plants and prey. This study assessed the genetic variability and heritability of zoophagy and dietary shift in 15 isofemale lines with access to Ephestia kuehniella eggs and with or without access to plant resources.

Accumulation of Heavy Metals in Conyza canadensis
Synopsis Many plant species are known to take up metals from the soil and accumulate them to potentially toxic levels. This may provide tolerance to soils with high metal content or a defensive mechanism against herbivores and pathogens.

We tested two alternative hypotheses regarding the co‐occurrence of selected invasive species with other species based on functional traits: (1) if limiting similarity is the dominant assembly process; the less similar species are more likely to associate with the targeted invasive species, or (2) if environmental filtering is more important; then more

ZZE-Configuration of chromophore ß-153 in C-phycocyanin from Mastigocladus laminosus [PDF]
The photochemistry of C-phycocyanin has been studied after denaturation in the dark. It shows an irreversible reaction which has characteristics of a Ζ,Ζ,Ε- to Z,Z,Z-isomerization of dihydrobilins. Its amplitude depends on the reaction conditions, with

Determining the ecological value and farmers' perceptions of set‐aside land
Abstract Set‐aside fields are widely considered effective measures for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem services in agricultural landscapes, although their ecological value depends on specific management and landscape context. Here, we assessed a multidimensional index of the ecological value of plant communities in 16 set‐aside fields ...

Biodiversité fonctionnelle en maraîchage biologique : comment favoriser les punaises prédatrices ? Compte-rendu d'essai 2008 [PDF]
La biodiversité fonctionnelle consiste à implanter autour des cultures des espèces végétales qui vont attirer, héberger, nourrir les insectes auxiliaires indigènes (notamment les punaises prédatrices), participant au maintien des populations de ravageurs

An inventory of invasive alien species in China [PDF]
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major global challenge requiring urgent action, and the Strategic Plan for Biodiversity (2011–2020) of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) includes a target on the issue.
