Evidence That Metapopulation Dynamics Maintain a Species' Range Limit

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 5, May 2025.
The metapopulation hypothesis for species range limits posits that a range limit may be imposed by subtle variation in rates of either patch colonisation or extinction. Using a multi‐year survey across ~900 km of the Pacific coast of the USA, we found evidence for key predictions made by the metapopulation hypothesis using coastal dune endemic ...

Arthropod diversity in peas with normal or reduced waxy bloom [PDF]

, 2004
Crop traits can alter economically important interactions between plants, pests, and biological control agents. For example, a reduced waxy bloom on the surface of pea plants alters interactions between pea aphids and their natural enemies. In this study,

Shedding light on overlooked pollinators: Global insights into floral interactions of velvet ants (Hymenoptera: Mutillidae and Myrmosidae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 4, Page 453-465, May 2025.
Abstract Plant–animal interactions constitute a recurrent and central focus in ecological research, with pollination representing one of its most extensively studied aspects. While certain insect orders have traditionally received considerable attention due to their abundance as flower visitors and their efficiency in pollination, it is undeniable that
