Impact of a nonnative parasitoid species on intraspecific interference and offspring sex ratio

Scientific Reports, 2021
In an assemblage of multiple predators sharing a single prey species, the combined effects of the component species may scale unpredictably because of emergent interspecific interactions.

Bistability induced by generalist natural enemies can reverse pest invasions [PDF]

, 2016
Reaction-diffusion analytical modeling of predator-prey systems has shown that specialist natural enemies can slow, stop and even reverse pest invasions, assuming that the prey population displays a strong Allee effect in its growth.

Development of a Stage- and Species-Specific RNAi System for Molecular Insights in Trichogramma Wasps

Insects
Trichogramma wasps, egg parasitoids widely used to control lepidopteran pests, have long eluded in-depth molecular mechanistic studies due to their minute size and genetic tool scarcity. While previous RNAi efforts were restricted to T.

Stably transmitted defined microbial community in honeybees preserves Hafnia alvei inhibition by regulating the immune system

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
The gut microbiota of honeybees is highly diverse at the strain level and essential to the proper function and development of the host. Interactions between the host and its gut microbiota, such as specific microbes regulating the innate immune system ...

Testing the paradox of enrichment along a land use gradient in a multitrophic aboveground and belowground community [PDF]

, 2012
In the light of ongoing land use changes, it is important to understand how multitrophic communities perform at different land use intensities. The paradox of enrichment predicts that fertilization leads to destabilization and extinction of predator-prey

Dr. Hans Kohn and the political takeover of the Berlin Medical Society by the National Socialist regime in 1933

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract To solidify their power over society, totalitarian regimes will usually eliminate any dissent, any perceived threats early on. These threats include not only political enemies but also educated and independent segments of society, such as professional associations.

The spread of non‐native species

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The global redistribution of species through human agency is one of the defining ecological signatures of the Anthropocene, with biological invasions reshaping biodiversity patterns, ecosystem processes and services, and species interactions globally.
