, 2015 Oviposition in odonate females is usually considered finished when the female leaves the oviposition site. However, considering that many species lay their eggs within a set of bouts it is difficult to distinguish between the end of the oviposition bout ...

Warming and community context drive rapid plant evolution
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Abiotic and biotic factors are important drivers of plant evolution, but how these factors interact to influence plant evolution in multispecies communities is still poorly understood. We performed experimental evolution exposing Brassica rapa plants to a combination of

Fungal Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infections proliferate during amphibian terrestrial dormancy
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The spread and impact of wildlife pathogens is often seasonal, and identifying the season(s) of highest impact can be critical to biodiversity and public health management.

The role of mosquito olfaction in oviposition site location and in the avoidance of unsuitable hosts
, 1996 Developments in the exploitation of mosquito olfaction are traced, in collaborative studies with various groups, from the first identification of a mosquito pheromone through to a discussion of non-host avoidance.

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate warming is redistributing insects, but species‐level projections alone rarely show which functional strategies are most exposed or how traits are linked to climatic niche structure.

, 2007 Heliothis subflexa is a specialist herbivore, whose larvae feed on fruits of Physalis species (Solanaceae). Although Physalis surface extracts have been shown to elicit attraction and oviposition by adult ovipositing females, little else was known as to

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant–herbivore interactions are typically examined through plant defence and herbivore performance, yet individual herbivore behavioural mechanisms underlying these interactions are rarely considered alongside plant traits.

An empirical study of the evolutionary significance of cannibalism in tree-hole mosquitoes (Diptera : Culicidae) from ecological and biological perspectives [PDF]
, 1995 To be adaptive, optimality theory suggests that behavioural traits should maximise the fitness of the carrier by spread of genotypes through a population.

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate
Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.
