Intrasexual mounting in the beetleDiaprepes abbreviatus(L.) [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 The weevil Diaprepes abbreviatus shows three kinds of same-sex mountings: males mount other unpaired males, males mount males already engaged in copulation and females mount other females. Four hypotheses were evaluated in order to explain same-sex matings by males: (i) female mimicry by inferior males, (ii) dominance of larger males which affects the ...

Plants use identical inhibitors to protect their cell wall pectin against microbes and insects
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 10, Issue 8, Page 3814-3824, April 2020., 2020 Whether polygalacturonase‐inhibiting proteins (PGIPs) play a role in defense against herbivorous beetles is unknown. Feeding assays with the leaf beetle Phaedon cochleariae on Arabidopsis thaliana pgip mutants were performed. Fitness was increased when larvae were fed on mutant plants compared to wild‐type plants.
