Functional Ecology, EarlyView.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coevolutionary arms races between plants and insects, in which gains of novel plant defences select for counteradaptations in herbivores, are key drivers of biodiversity.

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Hybrid zones at the north leading edge of temperate species, at the south rear edge of cool‐temperate species, and the core of their ranges were investigated. The results imply that genetic admixture and phenotypic introgression have been facilitated, except for the latter in traits contributing to reproductive isolation, in the hybrid zone at the ...

Aloe tomentosa - a species with unusual hairy flowers from the Yemen [PDF]
, 2016 Aloe tomentosa is unusual within the huge diversity of this large genus, since it is one of a small group with hairy flowers that have a limited distribution in the Horn of Africa and southern ...

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial

Xeromorphisam of trichomes in Lamiaceae species
Acta botanica Croatica, 2001 The xeromorphic adaptation of epidermal cells of Lamiaceae plant leaves, the consequence of their adaptation to sn arid habitat, was investigated. These xerophytic species inhibit transpiration in different ways, depending on the number, the form and the position of trichomes, whether they are dead hairs or live glandular structures.

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 ...

Russian wheat aphid: a model for genomic plasticity and a challenge to breeders
Insect Science, EarlyView.Invasive foundress finds suitable habitat and reproduces through pathogenesis. Wingless females produce life offspring quickly, which leads to high population densities. High population densities result in competition, which may induce epigenetic changes and wing development for dispersal.

A Study of Phytoplankton Dynamics in Lake Fayetteville as a Means of Assessing Water Quality [PDF]
, 1971 Phytoplankton community was analyzed for seasonal and vertical distribution in Lake Fayetteville. This northwest Arkansas reservoir maintains a stable water level and chemical input with a relatively constant, slow overflow.
