The Effect of Age on Survival Is Similar in Males and Females of an Aquatic Insect Species
EcologiesAge is a critical intrinsic factor that influences the probability of survival of organisms on Earth. In many animals, the lifestyles and habitat occupancy of males and females are so different that the effect of age could be sex-dependent.

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 In Japan, two closely-related damselflies, Mnais costalis Selys, 1869 (Odonata: Calopterygidae) and M. pruinosa Selys-Longchamps (Odonata: Calopterygidae), 1853, coexist, and they exhibit geographic variations in wing color, body size, and habitat ...

Allozyme and mitochondrial DNA variability within the New Zealand damselfly genera Xanthocnemis, Austrolestes, and Ischnura (Odonata) [PDF]
, 2007 We collected larval damselflies from 17 sites in the North, South and Chatham Islands, and tested the hypotheses that: (1) genetic markers (e.g., allozymes, mtDNA) would successfully ¬discriminate taxa; and (2) the dispersal capabilities of adult ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Food webs consist of trophic interactions of variable strength. However, it remains challenging to predict how changes in environmental conditions, such as nutrient enrichment, can affect these interactions. In this paper, we propose to integrate food web theory with ecological stoichiometry, which predicts how elemental ratios affect trophic ...

Makara Journal of Science, 2017 Pseudagrion pilidorsum is 1 of over 140 species of Pseudagrion (in the family Coenagrionidae), the largest genus of damselfly. This species exhibits dimorphism due to the different body colorations of males and females, making them difficult to ...

Morph-Specific Fecundity and Egg Size in the Female-Dimorphic Damselfly Ischnura senegalensis [PDF]
, 2010 Females of coenagrionid damselflies exhibit color dimorphism, consisting of an andromorph and a gynomorph. This study compared reproductive traits between the female morphs in both field-captured and laboratory-reared females of the female-dimorphic ...

Multiple signalling increases both prey response and diversity in a carnivorous pitcher plant
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Organisms across the tree of life use multiple signals such as colour, movement sound, and many types of chemical signals to convey seemingly the same information. These signals are potentially costly, yet the repeated evolution of multiple signalling across systems ...

Iflaviruses in arthropods: when small is mighty
Insect Science, EarlyView.Many arthropod species harbor iflaviruses, which often cause covert (asymptomatic) infections, but may still affect host fitness. We review the impact of iflaviruses on arthropod fitness, immunity, behaviour as well as the iflavirus’ host range, transmission, tissue tropism and the interactions with other microorganisms within arthropods.
