Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.This article will analyze the uncertainties around collecting and classifying Hydnora africana in the first half of the nineteenth century. Emerging from the distinctive dryland ecologies of South Africa, Hydnora was interpreted as strange and cryptic by Europeans primarily because it is a root parasite—a complex floral trait that was little understood.

Galls as habitats: the inquiline communities of insect galls
Basic and Applied Ecology, 2000 Summary Gall makers can be considered microhabitat engineers, because their galls provide both a food resource and a habitat that can be exploited by herbivorous and omnivorous organisms that do not feed on the galling insect. We compiled literature data on inquilines of insect-induced galls for 112 galler systems in order to examine physiological ...

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

CleanMat, EarlyView.Graphene oxide/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite ternary composite was synthesized hydrothermally. Efficient adsorption of Congo red onto GO/NiO‐ZrO2/zeolite composite was studied. ABSTRACT The present study employs a novel method for the synthesis of graphene oxide (GO) based ternary composite utilized for the adsorption of Congo red (CR), an anionic dye molecule. The

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 The development of gall shapes has been attributed to the feeding behavior of the galling insects and how the host tissues react to galling stimuli, which ultimately culminate in a variable set of structural responses.

A galling insect activates plant reproductive programs during gall development [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Abstract Many insect species have acquired the ability to redirect plant development to form unique organs called galls, which provide these insects with unique, enhanced food and protection from enemies and the elements.
