Geographical Distribution and New Host Associations of Rhyssomatus Subtilis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in Argentina [PDF]
The genus Rhyssomatus Schoenherr, 1837 includes 176 Neotropical and Nearctic species, many of which have agricultural importance because they are phytophagous during the larval and adult stages (O’Brien & Wibmer 1982; Wibmer & O’Brien 1986; Costa et al ...

Effects of Alternative Prey Density on Cannibalism in Adult Female Neoseiulus californicus
Using two strains of N. californicus—TU (reared long‐term on T. urticae) and OB (reared long‐term on O. bakeri)—this study demonstrated that although alternative prey density had no significant effect on cannibalism, both rearing strain and conspecific life stage significantly influenced cannibalistic behavior, with a significant interaction between ...

First steps towards a floral structural characterization of the major rosid subclades [PDF]
A survey of our own comparative studies on several larger clades of rosids and over 1400 original publications on rosid flowers shows that floral structural features support to various degrees the supraordinal relationships in rosids proposed by ...

Extrapolating demography with climate, proximity and phylogeny: approach with caution [PDF]
Plant population responses are key to understanding the effects of threats such as climate change and invasions. However, we lack demographic data for most species, and the data we have are often geographically aggregated.

ABSTRACT The powdery mildew fungus Erysiphe quercicola (Erysiphaceae) has a complex taxonomic history that has long complicated assessments of its geographic distribution and host associations. Although knowledge of the global host range of this species has expanded substantially over the past two decades, sequencing‐confirmed records from North ...

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 ...
