A new species of Iconella (Mason, 1981) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae), a parasitoid of Melitara subumbrella (Dyar, 1925) cactus moth larvae from New Mexico with biological notes and an updated key to the American Iconella species [PDF]

Journal of Hymenoptera Research
We describe the wasp Iconella melitaraevora sp. nov. (Braconidae, Microgastrinae), a parasitoid of Melitara subumbrella caterpillars (Lepidoptera, Pyralidae, Phycitinae). Multiple wasp cohorts were reared from hosts collected in a montane dryland habitat

High-quality host plant diets partially rescue female fecundity from a poor early start

Royal Society Open Science, 2022
Nutrition is a dynamic environmental factor and compensatory growth may help animals handle seasonal fluctuations in their diets. Yet, how the dynamic changes in nutrition affect female reproduction is understudied.

An evidence map and guide for using community science, remote sensing, and environmental DNA for rare plant detection

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
How can we use novel techniques such as community science, remote sensing, and environmental DNA to detect rare plants? Our evidence map provides information on the types of plants detected with each technique and the habitats in which the studies took place, as well as potential solutions to help overcome problems found with these techniques, sources ...

Energetic and Economic Analysis of Spineless Cactus Biomass Production in the Brazilian Semi-arid Region

Energies, 2022
The Brazilian semi-arid region is marked by a variable spatial-temporal rainfall distribution, concentrated over a 3 to 4 month season. Limited water availability is the main obstacle to the production of forage plants of C3 metabolism (such as corn and ...

Unexpected spatial aggregation between two species of hummingbirds and their inconsistent spatial interactions with native and exotic plants in an urban ecological reserve

Ibis, Volume 167, Issue 4, Page 927-944, October 2025.
Hummingbirds play an important role as pollinators and are one of the primary examples of animal–plant coevolution. However, factors such as land‐use change, urbanization, exotic species introductions and the disappearance of native plants can negatively affect the persistence of hummingbird populations.

Host plant adaptation in Drosophila mettleri populations. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The process of local adaptation creates diversity among allopatric populations, and may eventually lead to speciation. Plant-feeding insect populations that specialize on different host species provide an excellent opportunity to evaluate the causes of ...

Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Prickly Pear Cactus Stems (Opuntia spp.)

LWT - Food Science and Technology, 2001
Abstract The young, rapidly growing flattened stems or cladodes of the prickly pear cactus ( Opuntia spp.), known in Spanish as ‘nopalitos’, are commonly consumed in Mexico as a vegetable, and are shown to reduce blood glucose levels. Nopalitos are very perishable with a storage life of 1 day at room temperature and 6 days when packaged in ...
