Sex Role–Dependent Behavioral and Architectural Divergence in a Jumping Spider

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract contrasts sex‐equivalent cognition (route‐planning & memory) with female‐biased nest architecture. Both sexes perform similarly in cognitive tests, but females build complex, geometry‐matching nests while males make simple shelters.

Tree Squirrels Selectively Disperse High‐Quality Acorns Away From Tree Trunks

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Acorn quality and squirrel feeding behavior significantly structured spatial dispersal patterns of two Californian oak species. Non‐infested acorns were preferentially selected for embryo excision and dispersed farther than infested ones. Acorns were fully consumed near tree trunks, signaling rapid feeding in safe refuges, whereas non‐eaten, partially ...

Offspring Defensive Investment Covaries With Brood Value in a Female Cobweb Spider

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed a thorough field investigation on the web architectures of Campanicola campanulata to research its cobweb architecture variation under the condition of whether it carried egg sacs, in order to test the theory of its brood value. Our results demonstrate that retreat construction in female cobweb spiders is modulated by brood value.

Development and survival of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) on Eucalyptus genotypes

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
This study provides the first experimental evidence of the biological performance of Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 on Eucalyptus genotypes. Development time was shortest and viability highest on soybean compared with the evaluated Eucalyptus genotypes. B. tabaci MEAM1 completed its development on Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus urophylla × Eucalyptus ...
