New Lepidoptera-Parasitoid Associations in Weedy Corn Plantings: A Potential Alternate Host for \u3ci\u3eOstrinia Nubilalis\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) Parasitoids [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Larvae of the common sooty wing, Pholisora catullus, and pupae of the yellow-collared scape moth, Cisseps Fulvicollis, were collected in corn plantings containing different manipulated, indigenous weed communities to determine if these Lepidoptera had ...

Several occurrences of osteomyelitis in dinosaurs from a site in the Bauru Group, Cretaceous of Southeast Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the occurrence of osteomyelitis in non‐avian dinosaurs, focusing on the Ibirá locality, a site with a high incidence of this pathological condition. We analyzed six new osteopathic sauropod specimens from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil.

A Link Between Communities of Protective Endosymbionts and Parasitoids of the Pea Aphid Revealed in Unmanipulated Agricultural Systems

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In the last decade, the influence of microbial symbionts on ecological and physiological traits of their hosts has been increasingly recognized. However, most of these effects have been revealed under laboratory conditions, which oversimplifies the ...

The influence of plant fertilisation regime on plant-aphid-parasitoid interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
This thesis examines effects of plant fertilisation regime on herbivore and parasitoid performance for two aphids, Macrosiphum euphorbiae and Myzus persicae, and one parasitoid wasp, Aphidius ervi. Herbivore performance was measured as adult fresh weight

An ecological framework for microbial metabolites in the ocean ecosystem

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract The ocean microbe‐metabolite network involves thousands of individual metabolites that encompass a breadth of chemical diversity and biological functions. These microbial metabolites mediate biogeochemical cycles, facilitate ecological relationships, and impact ecosystem health. While analytical advancements have begun to illuminate such roles,

Unapparent trees: escaping enemies in time by being discreet, unpredictable and inaccessible

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
For half a century, biologists considered trees as particularly apparent to their enemies. But why then do some trees escape herbivorous enemies by bursting buds either too early or too late, leading to phenological mismatch? We hypothesize that such mismatches occur on trees that are unapparent in time – those that burst buds ‘discreetly' (slowly) and

Eurosta solidaginis‐induced stem galls affect strength and colour of botanical dyes extracted from giant goldenrod (Solidago gigantea)

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
With increasing demand for sustainable goods, botanical dyes are of increasing interest and value to consumers, industry and small‐scale artisanal producers. Goldenrod is a widely used dye plant with a long history of traditional use. The impact of the well‐studied goldenrod stem gall produced by Eurosta solidaginis on goldenrod botanical dyes—and the ...

Competitive interactions between parasitoids provide new insight into host suppression. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Understanding the dynamics of potential inter- and intraspecific competition in parasitoid communities is crucial in the screening of efficient parasitoid species and for utilization of the best parasitoid species combinations.

Developing epidemiological preparedness for a plant disease invasion: Modelling citrus huánglóngbìng in the European Union

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Huánglóngbìng (HLB) is a bacterial disease of citrus that has significantly impacted Brazil and the United States, although citrus production in the Mediterranean Basin remains unaffected. By developing a mathematical model of spread in Spain, we tested surveillance and control strategies before any future HLB entry in the EU.
