Sociobiology, 2015 Myrmecophilus crickets (Myrmecophilidae, Orthoptera) are typical ant guests. In Japan, about 10 species are recognized on the basis of morphological and molecular phylogenetic frameworks. We focused on two of these species, M. kinomurai and M.

Biology, 2023 Radiodonta, an extinct stem-euarthropod group, has been considered as the largest predator of Cambrian marine ecosystems. As one of the radiodont-bearing Konservat-Lagerstätten, the Guanshan biota (South China, Cambrian Stage 4) has yielded a diverse ...

Evidence of natal habitat preference induction within one habitat type [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2016 Natal habitat preference induction (NHPI) is a mechanism for habitat selection by individuals during natal dispersal. NHPI occurs in wild animal populations, and evidence suggests it may be a common, although little studied, mechanism for post-dispersal habitat selection.

Diversity, 2019 In Europe, the interest in introducing megaherbivores to achieve ambitious habitat restoration goals is increasing. In this study, we present the results of a one-year monitoring program in a rewilding project in Germany (Doeberitzer Heide), where ...

The ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the Mordovia State Nature Reserve, Russia
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2021 Ants form an important insect group in many terrestrial ecosystems. The research of ant species diversity is a relevant line of ecological and faunistic studies to completely reveal the biodiversity. Particular attention is given to Protected Areas where

Habitat preference of an herbivore shapes the habitat distribution of its host plant [PDF]
Ecosphere, 2017 Abstract Plant distributions can be limited by habitat‐biased herbivory, but the proximate causes of such biases are rarely known. Distinguishing plant‐centric from herbivore‐centric mechanisms driving differential herbivory between habitats is difficult without experimental manipulation of both plants and ...

PLoS ONE, 2016 Phi coefficient directly depends on the frequencies of occurrence of organisms and has been widely used in vegetation ecology to analyse the associations of organisms with site groups, providing a characterization of ecological preference, but its ...

The effect of natal experience on habitat preferences
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2004 Several important problems in ecology, evolution and conservation biology are affected by habitat selection in dispersing animals. Experience in the natal habitat has long been considered a potential source of variation in the habitat preferences displayed when dispersers select a post-dispersal habitat.

The induction of larval resource preference in heterogeneous habitats [PDF]
Ecological Entomology, 2018 1. Animals often have to choose between multiple food sources in their habitat, and these potentially complex decisions have a large impact on their fitness. Among other factors, previous experience with an alternative resource can significantly increase subsequent preference for the resource (‘induction of preference’).
