Dynamics of biotic resistance to plant invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biotic resistance, the reduction in invasion success caused by native communities, plays an important role in the long‐term dynamics of biological invasions. A large body of empirical research on biotic resistance has accumulated since the last comprehensive review on the subject 20 years ago, enabling us to achieve a refined understanding of ...

Effects of nitrogen nutrient on the behavior of feeding and oviposition of the brown planthopper, Nilarpavata lugens, on IR64

浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2005
We determined the preferences of feeding and oviposition of the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, to rice plants of IR64 with different nitrogen content, the changes in preferences of BPH populations fed successively on plants with high (200N)

Oviposition and behavioral responses of Culex quinquefasciatus to skatole and synthetic oviposition pheromone in Tanzania

, 2000
Studies on the behavioral and oviposition responses of Culex quinquefasciatus to 3-methylindole or skatole (an oviposition site cue) and (5R,6S)-6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide (the synthetic oviposition pheromone, SOP) were conducted in Muheza, northeast ...

Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

oviposition

, 2021
The spotted wing drosophila (SWD) causes massive losses in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus L.) cultivation by direct oviposition leading to damages of the soft skin fruits. Knowledge of the fly's host preference could help farmers in managing the pest.

Oviposition experience affects oviposition preference in Drosophila melanogaster

iScience
Learning, memorizing, and recalling of potential ovipositing sites can influence oviposition preference. Classical conditioning experiments have shown that vinegar flies can learn the association of olfactory, gustatory, or visual stimuli with either positive or negative unconditioned stimuli.

Post‐ovipositional staging series of the foveate, gold‐dust day gecko, Phelsuma laticauda (Gekkota: Squamata)

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Disorders affecting the fovea, a specialized pit in the human retina necessary for high acuity vision, represent a significant healthcare burden across the globe. Degenerative diseases (e.g., macular degeneration) and developmental conditions (e.g., albinism and aniridia) affecting the fovea can lead to irreversible, central vision ...

Ovipositional responses of tortricid moths to sugars, salts and neem oil

Scientific Reports
Oviposition is essential in the life history of insects and is mainly mediated by chemical and tactile cues present on the plant surface. Oviposition deterrents or stimulants can modify insect oviposition and be employed in pest control.

Fitness of Mythimna separata (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) on Cultivated Wheat and a Weed, Wild Oat (Avena fatua), and Its Implications for Pest Management

Biology
Mythimna separata (Walker), a significant migratory pest in many Asian countries, can cause severe damage to wheat crops. Understanding whether wild oat can serve as an alternate host is important for informing predictive models of M.
