The effect of squash domestication on a belowground tritrophic interaction

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 3, Issue 1, Page 28-39, February 2022., 2022
Abstract The domestication of plants has commonly resulted in the loss of plant defense metabolites, with important consequences for the plants' interactions with herbivores and their natural enemies. Squash domestication started 10′000 years ago and has led to the loss of cucurbitacins, which are highly toxic triterpenes.

Forecasting the spread associated with climate change in Eastern Europe of the invasive Asiatic flea beetle, Luperomorpha xanthodera (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
The current climate has facilitated biological invasions worldwide, with the spread of invasive species accelerating over the last few decades. Introductions of species are often accidental and facilitated by many factors, including intercontinental ...

What feeds on Quercus ilex L.? A biogeographical approach to studying trophic interactions in a Mediterranean keystone species

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 4-24, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) is regarded as a keystone plant species. Trophic interactions may affect the distribution and abundance of phytophagous species, but the number of arthropod species that use holm oak as a food resource and their levels of host specificity are not yet known.

Hybridization and range expansion in tamarisk beetles (Diorhabda spp.) introduced to North America for classical biological control

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 15, Issue 1, Page 60-77, January 2022., 2022
Abstract With the global rise of human‐mediated translocations and invasions, it is critical to understand the genomic consequences of hybridization and mechanisms of range expansion. Conventional wisdom is that high genetic drift and loss of genetic diversity due to repeated founder effects will constrain introduced species.

Molecular systematics, higher‐rank classification and Gondwanan origins of Cryptocephalinae leaf beetles

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 592-615, September 2021., 2021
Abstract With 5,300 species, the Cryptocephalinae is the fourth largest subfamily of the megadiverse Chrysomelidae beetles. This subfamily currently merges groups that were traditionally considered subfamilies of their own, including the fulcidacines, clytrines and cryptocephalines, and it is believed to be sister to the Lamprosomatinae, forming a ...

Floral attraction and flower visitors of a subcanopy, tropical rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 15, Page 10468-10482, August 2021., 2021
Pollinators beneath the rainforest canopy occupy a unique microclimate that is markedly different from the canopy environment that receives more light energy. We studied the floral attractants and floral visitors of a dioecious, subcanopy rainforest tree, Fontainea picrosperma (Euphorbiaceae), in northern Australia.
