Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Fritillaria is a genus consisting of 130 to 140 species of bulbous plants, native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. Generally viewed as an insect pollinated genus with the exception of two North American species, Fritillaria gentneri and F.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Niche partitioning is often considered an important mechanism promoting species co‐occurrence in species‐rich communities. As species richness increases, niche partitioning may lead to different niche structures, including increased packing of species niches when the ...

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host‐plant quality and ambient temperature are key environmental drivers of herbivorous insect performance, affecting growth, development, and survival. While temperature accelerates physiological processes in ectothermic insects, nutrient limitation in host plants can ...

Global meta‐analysis reveals urban‐associated behavioural differences among wild populations
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.Urbanization drives rapid phenotypic change, yet broad patterns of behavioural responses remain unclear. Using a global phylogenetic meta‐analysis, we show urban populations exhibit increased boldness, aggression, exploration and activity—especially in birds—highlighting consistent behavioural shifts and revealing major taxonomic gaps that limit our ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Aphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.

Insect Science, EarlyView.We studied oviposition site selection in a leaf‐mining moth (Stigmella sorbi) on rowan trees (Sorbus aucuparia) in northwestern Russia, assessing larval performance across different shoot types, leaf positions, and leaflets. Larval survival was highest on long vegetative shoots, yet females showed no preference for these optimal sites.
