Mating Frequency of European Corn Borer (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) in Minnesota, Kansas, and Texas [PDF]

, 2018
The frequency of mating and polyandry in natural populations are important parameters for understanding evolutionary dynamics. Mating frequency among natural populations of Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner) [Lepidoptera: Crambidae] are quite variable.

Leaf‐chewing but not sap‐feeding herbivores create soil legacies that shape plant resistance through trait‐mediated, guild‐specific effects in Baccharis salicifolia

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Herbivory can affect the soil microbiome, creating legacies that affect plant resistance, but how these effects vary by feeding guild and the plant traits involved remain underexplored. We tested how soil legacies created by a leaf‐chewing caterpillar (Spodoptera exigua)

Flowers for habitat enhancement primarily benefit common insect pollinators across temperate grasslands

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
Flowers that are attractive and occupy a complementary position in interaction space could be prioritized in flower mixes to recover rare and specialized pollinators. By defining the ecological roles of readily available plants in plant–pollinator networks, particularly those that receive high visitation rates from complementary pollinator communities,

Multi‐species productive grasslands offer advantages over permanent grasslands for arthropod conservation, but preserving semi‐natural grasslands remains essential

Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.
SNGs remain irreplaceable for arthropod conservation, supporting the highest gamma diversity and providing habitat for species sensitive to high LUI. They should be regarded as the cornerstone of arthropod conservation in agricultural landscapes. MSPGs represent an improved alternative to PGs, particularly by enhancing floral resources, although their ...

The glandular hairs within the floral tube of Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) and their influence on ant accessibility

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.
The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial
