Ecology and Dispersal of the Bedbug [PDF]

, 2012
The global bedbug resurgence has left the scientific community racing to fill large gaps in our understanding of the biology and ecology of this forgotten pest. Studying the ecology of a species so closely associated with humans has inherent difficulties,

Secondary wind dispersal enhances long-distance dispersal of an invasive species in urban road corridors [PDF]

, 2011
Roads contribute to habitat fragmentation and function as dispersal barriers for many organisms. At the same time many nonnative plant species are associated with road systems, a relationship that has been explained by the availability of disturbed ...

Integrating Disturbance, Seasonality, Multi-Year Temporal Dynamics, and Dormancy Into the Dynamics and Conservation of Metacommunities

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
The metacommunity framework has rapidly become a dominant concept used by ecologists to understand community assembly. By emphasizing extinction-colonization dynamics, dispersal, and species’ niche requirements in determining community structure ...

Early Life History and Recruitment Processes of a Tropical Anguillid Eel Anguilla marmorata to the Pacific Coast, as Revealed by Otolith Sr:Ca Ratios and Microstructure

Biology, 2022
Recent progress in otolith microchemistry especially in strontium:calcium (Sr:Ca) ratios has revealed significant features of life histories in fishes. A catadromous eel, Anguilla marmorata, has the widest distribution among anguillid eels throughout the

Approaches to Dispersing Medical Biofilms

Microorganisms, 2017
Biofilm-associated infections pose a complex problem to the medical community, in that residence within the protection of a biofilm affords pathogens greatly increased tolerances to antibiotics and antimicrobials, as well as protection from the host ...

Aproceros leucopoda (Hymenoptera: Argidae): An East Asian pest of elms (Ulmus spp.) invading Europe

European Journal of Entomology, 2010
An invasive sawfly Aproceros leucopoda Takeuchi, 1939, which originates from East Asia, has colonized elms (Ulmus spp.) in Austria, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and the Ukraine, at least since 2003.

Dispersal and Repulsion of Entomopathogenic Nematodes to Prenol

Biology, 2019
Chemosensory cues are crucial for entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs)—a guild of insect-killing parasitic nematodes that are used as biological control agents against a variety of agricultural pests.

Long-Distance Wind-Dispersal of Spores in a Fungal Plant Pathogen: Estimation of Anisotropic Dispersal Kernels from an Extensive Field Experiment [PDF]

, 2014
Given its biological significance, determining the dispersal kernel (i.e., the distribution of dispersal distances) of spore-producing pathogens is essential. Here, we report two field experiments designed to measure disease gradients caused by sexually-

Changes in seed dispersal processes and the potential for between-patch connectivity for an arid land daisy [PDF]

, 2012
Dispersal is a major and critical process in population biology that has been particularly challenging to study. Animals can have major roles in seed dispersal even in species that do not appear specifically adapted to animal-aided dispersal.

Dispersal of the Common Cutworm, Spodoptera litura, Monitored by Searchlight Trap and Relationship with Occurrence of Soybean Leaf Damage

Insects, 2020
The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is a major pest of soybean. Pheromone traps are used to monitor male adults, but the catch peaks do not always predict leaf damage in soybean fields.
