Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 The surface of the insect body is covered with a hydrophobic layer called cuticular wax (CW). In addition to functioning as an anti-desiccation agent, CW is critical for chemical communication.

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.

The structural adaptations of mouthparts in Orthoptera and Allis [PDF]
, 1965 5 láminasThe Orthoptera (sens. lat.), long favorite types for classroom study, llave had much written about their mouthparts. Laboratorv manuals and textbooks account for many published descriptions, though their focus is not aimed at either ...

Managing pests by increasing predators through late termination of cover crops
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem functioning of agroecosystems. By delaying cover‐crop termination, growers can effectively increase natural enemy populations and reduce the need for chemical controls. Abstract BACKGROUND Adding cover crops to crop rotations can improve the sustainability and ecosystem ...

Mouthpart-Atlas of Arctic Sympagic Amphipods—Trophic Niche Separation Based on Mouthpart Morphology and Feeding Ecology [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2005 Abstract The four amphipod species Onisimus nanseni, O. glacialis (Lysianassidae), Gammarus wilkitzkii (Gammaridae), and Apherusa glacialis (Calliopiidae) have been identified earlier as autochthonous sympagic organisms that spend the whole life cycle in close association with the Arctic ice pack.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes exhibit takeoff responses when presented to commercial permethrin headspace. This product elicits electrophysiological activity in the antennae and tarsi. However, only the chemical information acquired from the tarsi plays a major role in the observed behavioral response.

Functional morphology of parasitic isopods: understanding morphological adaptations of attachment and feeding structures in Nerocila as a pre-requisite for reconstructing the evolution of Cymothoidae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Parasites significantly influence food webs and ecosystems and occur all over the world in almost every animal group. Within crustaceans there are numerous examples of ectoparasites; for example, representatives of the isopod group Cymothoidae.
