Pollination of Richea dracophylla (Ericaceae) and the role of the nocturnal ant Notoncus hickmani (Formicinae)

Austral Ecology, Volume 48, Issue 8, Page 1762-1778, December 2023., 2023
Flowers of the Tasmanian endemic shrub Richea dracophylla are covered with a calyptra which is removed by birds before insect pollination can occur. Nocturnal ants Notoncus hickmani were active on flowers in large numbers at temperatures down to 2.5°C. Abstract Our observation of large numbers of ants Notoncus hickmani (Formicinae) on the flowers of a ...

A Set of Novel Venom Proteins Enables Parasitoid Wasps to Exploit Older Hosts and Coexist with Competitors. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
This study elucidates a molecular mechanism enabling species coexistence between parasitoid wasps, showing how Asobara japonica uses a set of novel venom proteins to delay host development and exploit older hosts, thereby achieving temporal niche partitioning with Leptopilina drosophilae. Abstract Interspecific competition can drive species coexistence

The clockwork of insect activity: Advancing ecological understanding through automation. [PDF]

J Anim Ecol
The study demonstrates that time‐controlled insect sampling using an automated Malaise trap in combination with metabarcoding allows for the observation and documentation of taxon‐specific activity patterns. These recorded activity patterns can provide valuable insights into the underlying ecological processes, including parasitoid–host relationships ...

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 ...
