Impact of Nutritional Supplements on the Fitness of the Parasitoid Binodoxys communis (Gahan)

Insects
Alterative nutritional foods consumed by adult parasitoids play an important role in their fitness and ability to control pests because of food scarcity in many crops.

Dominant Arctic Predator Is Free of Major Parasitoid at Northern Edge of Its Range

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Parasitoids can affect host population dynamics with community-level consequences. In the Arctic, a high diversity of parasitoids relative to potential hosts suggests that parasitoids may exert strong selection pressure on arthropods, but the extent to ...

Assessing pest control treatments from phenology models and field data

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1851-1859, April 2025.
Theoretical effect of two larvicide sprays, two delayed larvicide sprays that follow an oil treatment, mating disruption, and mating disruption plus four virus sprays on codling moth larva (brown for treated versus pink for untreated) and adult (dark green for treated versus light green for untreated) phenology.

A Holistic Approach to Parasitoid–Host Interaction Along an Elevational Gradient Revealed Coevolution Driven by Host Foraging Strategy

Ecology and Evolution
The evolutionary processes that shape host‐parasitoid coexistence in a changing environment are poorly understood. We examined the large‐scale distribution of highly specialised polysphinctine Darwin wasps associated with spiders along an elevational ...

Host preference of the hemiparasite Struthanthus flexicaulis (Loranthaceae) in ironstone outcrop plant communities, southeast Brazil

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2016
Struthanthus flexicaulis is a hemiparasite abundant in ironstone outcrops in southeast Brazil. We evaluated its host preference among species of the plant community, taking into account the abundance and foliage cover of the hosts. The importance of each

Hydropower Operations Reduce Alluvial Nesting Habitat and Alter Riverine Turtle Population Demographics

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydropower management has altered discharge regimes of large rivers worldwide, reducing sediment mobilization and early‐seral conditions essential for many riverine species. Spiny softshell turtles (Apalone spinifera) rely on alluvial habitats for nesting and may serve as sentinel species to assess the effects of regulated flow regimes and ...

Evolution of Parasitoidism in Hymenoptera

Turkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology
Insects, the most diverse group of animals, are known to benefit society for a sustainable future. By focusing on the use of natural enemies of pests, including parasitoids and predators, the need for biological pest control for the conservation of ...

Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

Reactive oxygen species-dependent Toll/NF-κB activation in the Drosophila hematopoietic niche confers resistance to wasp parasitism

eLife, 2017
Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in the adult mammalian bone marrow ensure blood cell renewal. Their cellular microenvironment, called ‘niche’, regulates hematopoiesis both under homeostatic and immune stress conditions.
