The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization

Ecography, EarlyView.
Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Species spectrum and abundance of moths (Lepidoptera) in the greenhouse culture of Solanum lycopersicum

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis
The species spectrum and abundance of moths were monitored in a greenhouse in Kameničany (western Slovakia) in 2020, in which Solanum lycopersicum was grown from seedlings imported from the Netherlands.

The influence of the atmospheric boundary layer on nocturnal layers of noctuids and other moths migrating over southern Britain [PDF]

, 2006
Insects migrating at high altitude over southern Britain have been continuously monitored by automatically-operating, vertical-looking radars over a period of several years.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

Ecography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Eloria subapicalis (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae: Lymantriinae): rare and specialist species on Erythroxylum (Erythroxylaceae) in the cerrado

Zoologia (Curitiba), 2011
Eloria subapicalis (Walker, 1855) is a rare species (61 individuals in four years of samplings) of Noctuidae (Lymantriinae) with a specific diet consisting of leaves of Erythroxylum P. Browne (Erytroxylaceae) species in Brasilia's cerrado. Generally, the

A globally consistent scaling relationship reveals stabilizing effects of dominant species in plant communities

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite extensive research, stabilizing mechanisms in ecosystems remain uncertain. Taylor's power law (TPL) is a pervasive ecological pattern that describes how variance scales with mean abundance (σ2 = aμᵇ). While TPL has been widely studied within populations, its role across species within communities and its implications for stability remain ...

Resumed forest grazing restored a population of Euphydryas aurinia (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in SE Finland

European Journal of Entomology, 2005
In 1996, an old forest pasture grazed from the 1960s to 1988 was restored by coppicing, fencing and grazing by cattle to protect a local population of the endangered butterfly Euphydryas aurinia. An adjoining ungrazed meadow provided a control.

Attraction of Acorn-Infesting \u3ci\u3eCydia Latiferreana\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) to Pheromone-Baited Traps [PDF]

, 2017
Males of acorn-infesting Cydia latiferreana are attracted to an equilibrium mixture of the four isomers of 8, 10-dodecadien-l-ol acetate, the virgin female-produced pheromone. Trap height relative to the height of trees in which traps are placed seems to

Abdominal POCUS Education for Clinicians: A Systematic Review of Teaching Methods for Point‐of‐Care Abdominal Ultrasonography

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 547-561, March/April 2025.
For patients to benefit from abdominal point‐of‐care ultrasound, the ultrasound examinator must be sufficiently trained. In this systematic review, we identified advantages and disadvantages of different training methods and approaches. We conclude that thoughtful integration of the various educational methods is crucial for stakeholders and educators.

Lethal effect of sulfuryl fluoride on eggs of different age of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) – demonstration of the no constancy of the ct product for control

Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2011
One to four day old eggs of the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella served for an investigation of their tolerance towards sulfuryl fluoride (SF) fumigation at 27°C and 65% relative humidity and of the question of constancy of the lethal dosage of SF –
