Do prey shape, time of day, and plant trichomes affect the predation rate on plasticine prey in tropical rainforests?

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1259-1269, September 2022., 2022
We used artificial, plasticine prey to assess temporal (day‐ versus nighttime) and spatial (pubescent versus glabrous host plant) variation in predation in two Panamanian rainforests. We compared attacks on caterpillar‐ and humanoid‐shaped figurines to test whether model prey shape is as important for prey recognition by predators as often assumed.

Pre‐dispersal seed predation could help explain premature fruit drop in a tropical forest

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 4, Page 751-761, April 2022., 2022
Premature fruit drop is likely to be a major source of seed mortality for many plant species on Barro Colorado Island. It is plausible that pre‐dispersal seed enemies, such as insect seed predators, contribute to community‐level patterns of premature fruit drop and have the potential to mediate species coexistence through stabilising negative density ...

Ecological requirements drive the variable responses of wheat pests and natural enemies to the landscape context

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 444-456, February 2022., 2022
Our findings highlight the need for conservation biological control to go beyond ‘one size fits all’ and consider the specific ecology of the involved organisms, even for a single crop type. Landscapes with high edge density and flowering woody plants may support natural enemies, in particular syrphids, which colonised the fields early in the season ...
