Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Stored food products are highly vulnerable to infestation by insects and mites, resulting in significant postharvest losses worldwide. Plant‐derived bioactive compounds represent promising eco‐friendly alternatives to synthetic pesticides.

Larval anisakid infections of some tropical fish species from north-west Australia [PDF]
, 2003 Despite the commercial and zoonotic importance of larval anisakid infestations of teleosts, their distribution among Australia's diverse marine fish fauna is poorly understood.

From mainland to islands: the evolution of resistance and tolerance to herbivory in long‐lived oaks
Oikos, EarlyView.Island biogeography theory predicts that island plants should exhibit reduced defences compared with their mainland relatives due to relaxed herbivory pressure. However, growing empirical evidence challenges this prediction, revealing substantial variation among systems, plant lineages and defence types.

A Quantitative Analysis of Growth and Size Regulation in Manduca sexta: The Physiological Basis of Variation in Size and Age at Metamorphosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Body size and development time are important life history traits because they are often highly correlated with fitness. Although the developmental mechanisms that control growth have been well studied, the mechanisms that control how a species ...

Comparative analysis of larval growth in Lepidoptera reveals instar‐level constraints [PDF]
, 2020 1. Juvenile growth trajectories evolve via the interplay of selective pressures on age and size at maturity, and developmental constraints. In insects, the moulting cycle is a major constraint on larval growth trajectories. 2.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Life table studies of Trilocha virescence (Bombycidae: lepidoptera) on Ficus nitida [PDF]
Asian Journal of Agriculture and Biology, 2013 The life table of Trilocha virescence was constructed in the laboratory which is a serious Lepidopterous pest of Ficus nitida. The study declared different impact of larval and adult mortality on the population.

European Journal of Entomology, 2006 While the ultimate causes and adaptive significance of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) have been extensively studied, the developmental mechanisms behind this phenomenon have received little attention.

The Biological Bulletin, 1970 Thompson (1903) described from the plankton four zoeae and a megalopa which he ascribed to Pagurus longicarpus. Although his verbal description of the external anatomy is incomplete, his figures are adequate to identify accurately the species with which he was working. His description of the internal anatomy is the most complete study available for any
