The pace and shape of ant ageing

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ants have been proposed as good models to study ageing and the effects of extrinsic mortality because of their long lifespans and plasticity of ageing within species. We discuss how age‐dependent extrinsic mortality might influence queen lifespan, and how the effect of age‐independent extrinsic mortality needs further study, accounting for ...

Parasitoid wasps as effective biological control agents

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2019
Biological control (biocontrol) is a safe, sustainable approach that takes advantage of natural enemies such as predators, parasitic insects or pathogens to manage pests in agroecosystems. Parasitoid wasps, a very large evolutionary group of hymenopteran

How do parasites and predators choose their victim? A trade‐off between quality and vulnerability across antagonistic interactions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From blood‐sucking lice and food‐stealing gulls to pandemic‐inducing viruses and egg‐eating snakes: parasites and predators are ubiquitous in shaping ecology and evolution. Fundamental to these interactions is the way in which parasites and predators choose their victim. Here, I argue that a trade‐off between host quality and vulnerability can

Ecosystem services provided by spiders

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.
