The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Elucidating cryptic sympatric speciation in terrestrial orchids [PDF]
, 2019 ABSTRACTPREMISECryptic sympatric speciation occurs when closely related species arises with no geographic or spatial isolation. Since cryptic species can not usually be detected when investigations are based exclusively on classical plant taxonomy, molecular markers and integrative taxonomy are important tools to elucidate the identity of cryptic taxa ...

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Diverse Saturniidae moth communities are found in naturally recovering tropical forests in Ecuador. Community composition showed a gradual turnover with strongest differences between old‐growth forest and active agriculture, but only weak differences in taxonomic, phylogenetic and functional diversity. While our results suggest that Saturniidae are not

Epigenetic regulation of mycorrhizal symbioses: from plastic responses to transgenerational legacies
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Mycorrhizal symbioses represent one of the most widespread and ecologically significant plant–microbe interactions, shaping plant nutrition, stress resilience, and ecosystem functioning. Beyond their role in nutrient exchange and systemic defense, growing evidence suggests that these symbioses also influence plant plasticity within and across ...

Fire responses of bushland plants after the January 1994 wildfires in northern Sydney [PDF]
, 2013 In early January 1994 wildfires burned areas of bushland in northern Sydney (lat 33° 45’ S, long 151° 05’ E) in coastal south-eastern Australia. This paper reports observations of the fire responses for 828 species of bushland plants – 576 native species
