Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Non‐native nectar was well integrated into the diet of the butterfly community and relatively more available earlier in the summer. Butterflies did not use native and non‐native sources in proportion to their availability. Monarchs readily visited non‐native flowers in late summer, a critical time for energy acquisition in preparation for the monarch's

Journal of Avian Biology, EarlyView.Interactions between wild birds and ticks exert significant selective forces, influencing the host's evolution and fitness. Tick infestation rates vary among bird species due to life history and morphology. Understanding tick infestation probability is crucial for conservation efforts, as birds play an important role in the tick life cycle and can ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The tidal freshwater zone is an aquatic transition zone that links a river to its estuary and provides an important habitat used in the life cycle of resident and migratory fishes. Yet, information on the trophic structure of fishes in this habitat is scarce. To address this gap, we characterize the trophic structure of a fish community in the

Modern Narcissus: the lingering reflections of myth in modern art [PDF]
, 2011 Why has myth continued to fascinate modern artists, and why the myth of Narcissus, with its modern association with narcissism? This article considers the relationship between the Narcissus myth and the lineage of modern art that runs from Symbolism to ...

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.Using an experimental evolution approach, we observed the evolution of higher intensity mate guarding behavior in the decorated cricket (Gryllodes sigillatus) in one of the four male‐biased selection lines, but in none of the female‐biased lines; previous work has revealed that the males in this specific line also produce less manipulative food gifts ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.One thousand one hundred ninety‐eight adult Dermacentor variabilis (Say), a species of veterinary and human medical importance, were collected from companion animals in central and eastern Canada. Peaks in adult D. variabilis submissions occurred in May and June across the provinces. Most submissions of adult D.

Vitis vinifera (Vitales: Vitaceae) as a Reproductive Host of Spissistilus festinus (Hemiptera: Membracidae). [PDF]
, 2018 Feeding by the three-cornered alfalfa hopper, Spissistilus festinus (Say) (Hemiptera: Membracidae) results in girdling of grapevine petioles and shoots. Its significance as an economic pest of grape has increased since it was shown to transmit Grapevine ...

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.Summary Plant viruses often suppress jasmonic acid (JA)‐mediated defences through disturbing JA signalling or biosynthesis pathways to benefit their own infection. Few studies have examined how the precursors of JA biosynthesis are regulated by viral infection.
