Resource quantity affects infection success and impacts of a microsporidian on hosts

Oikos, EarlyView.
Resource quantity in the environment often changes over time and influences the nutritional status of hosts that may encounter parasites. If resource availability significantly alters both infection success and within‐host growth of a parasite, fluctuations in resources may underlie the seasonal disease outbreaks that have been observed for some ...

Functional Screening Yields a New β-1,4-Endoglucanase Gene from Heterodera glycines that May be the Product of Recent Gene Duplication

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2001
Clones with secreted cellulolytic activity were identified when a cDNA library constructed from poly A(+) RNA of preparasitic second-stage juveniles of Heterodera glycines, the soybean cyst nematode, was expressed in the Escherichia coli SOLR strain and ...

Description of the egg and larva of Raillietiella mottae (Pentastomida: Raillietiellidae)

Helminthologia, 2020
In the current study, the structural characteristics of the egg and larva of the pentastomid Raillietiella mottae (Almeida, Freire, & Lopes 2008), are described and compared with those of other pentastomids. The eggs and larvae were obtained from lizards

A comparative study of the function of heterospecific vocal mimicry in European passerines [PDF]

, 2007
Although heterospecific vocal imitation is well documented in passerines, the evolutionary correlates of this phenomenon are poorly known. Here, we studied interspecific variation in vocal mimicry in a comparative study of 241 European songbirds.

Bottom–up and top–down drivers influence urbanization effects on insect herbivory in oaks

Oikos, EarlyView.
Urban forests provide essential ecosystem services, including pest control, biodiversity conservation, and human health benefits. Herbivory is a widespread biotic interaction that shapes ecosystem functions, such as primary productivity and soil fertility, which underpin these services.

Influence of egg card color preference, inoculation time, generational succession, and learning experience on the parasitism of Trichogramma ostriniae.

PLoS ONE
This study investigated the parasitic selection preferences of female Trichogramma ostriniae on egg cards of different colors, considering the effects of inoculation time, generations, and learning experiences on wasp parasitism.

Across Multiple Species, Phytochemical Diversity and Herbivore Diet Breadth Have Cascading Effects on Herbivore Immunity and Parasitism in a Tropical Model System

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Terrestrial tri-trophic interactions account for a large part of biodiversity, with approximately 75% represented in plant–insect–parasitoid interactions.

Intrinsic competition and its effects on the survival and development of three species of endoparasitoid wasps [PDF]

, 2009
In natural systems, pre-adult stages of some insect herbivores are known to be attacked by several species of parasitoids. Under certain conditions, hosts may be simultaneously parasitized by more than one parasitoid species (= multiparasitism), even ...
