Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.An integrated framework combining geometric morphometrics and ecological niche modeling was applied to Cydalima perspectalis to assess intergenerational morphological variation, test sexual dimorphism, and predict future distribution under climate scenarios. Wing shape effectively discriminated between generations but not between sexes.

Avian predation at a Southern Rockhopper Penguin Colony on Staten Island, Argentina [PDF]
, 2009 The association between avian predation on Southern Rockhopper Penguins (Eudyptes chrysocome chrysocome) and subcolony size was examined during the chick-rearing period.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

Why we Should Study Solitary Species to Understand the Costs of Group‐Living
Ethology, EarlyView.It's easier to measure the benefits than the costs of a trait. Solitary species benefit by avoiding the costs of group living. Thus, measuring benefits of solitary living informs us about the costs of group living. ABSTRACT While for decades behavioral ecologists have studied the benefits of group living, measuring its costs has been more difficult. It

Behavioural Diversity of Fishes: Concepts, Drivers and Its Role in Conservation and Management
Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human activity has altered nearly all ecosystems on Earth, contributing to substantial biodiversity loss across taxonomic, genetic and functional dimensions, from the intraspecific to the ecosystem scale. Yet some components of biodiversity remain hidden or underappreciated, including behavioural diversity.

Competition or Predation? Schumpeterian Rivalry in Network Markets [PDF]
We explore the logic of predation and rules designed to prevent it in markets subject to network effects. Although, as many have informally argued, predatory behavior is plausibly more likely to succeed in such markets, we find that it is particularly ...

Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The linkage between growth rate and feeding success in fish larvae has received much attention as a potential indicator of future growth and survival potential. Given the increasing evidence that the growth–survival relationship is highly variable, the growth–feeding linkage would also exhibit variable dynamics among cohorts of the same ...

Political Predation and Economic Development [PDF]
We analyze a game between citizens and governments, whose type (benevolent or predatory) is unknown to the public. Opportunistic governments mix between predation and restraint.

Contrasting Food Web Dynamics Across Oceanographic Boundaries in Subarctic Pelagic Ecosystems
Fisheries Oceanography, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding the structure of pelagic food webs across multiple trophic levels is critical for elucidating species interactions, energy flow, and anthropogenic impacts on production. This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the eastern North Pacific pelagic food webs, focusing on the Gulf of Alaska (GoA) during late winter of 2019.

, 2008 This thesis describes research into the effects of insect mediated pollination, and pre-dispersal seed predation, in common species of Asteraceae, varying both between and throughout growing seasons, and suggests that these exert selective pressures ...
