Taxonomic isolation and the accumulation of herbivorous insects: a comparison of introduced and native trees
1. Evidence from leaf-mining insects on Fagaceous hosts suggests that range expansions of insects onto introduced trees often involve species that feed on native hosts closely related to the introduced host. 2 . An examination of the herbivorous entomofauna of British trees illustrates that the size of the entomofauna is partially determined by the taxonomic isolation of the host tree.
متن کاملInsects and the Native Vegetation of Nebraska
The principal plant biomes in Nebraska are briefly reviewed. The relationships of insects, particularly scarab beetles and butterflies, to these biomes are discussed, especially as it relates to their distributions. Human-induced alteration of habitat has significantly influenced the present distributions of both plants and insects relative to their historical distributions at the time of Euro-...
متن کاملCreative Ecology: Restoration of Native Forests by Native Trees
Ecological devastation is becoming a serious problem locally to globally, inproportion as people seek affluent living circumstances. Environmental devastation originated mainly from nature exploitation and construction of cities and industrial institutions with non-biological materials. Humans have ignored the rules of nature, biodiversity and coexistence. One of the best measures we can take a...
متن کاملPollen dispersal of tropical trees (Dinizia excelsa: Fabaceae) by native insects and African honeybees in pristine and fragmented Amazonian rainforest.
Tropical rainforest trees typically occur in low population densities and rely on animals for cross-pollination. It is of conservation interest therefore to understand how rainforest fragmentation may alter the pollination and breeding structure of remnant trees. Previous studies of the Amazonian tree Dinizia excelsa (Fabaceae) found African honeybees (Apis mellifera scutellata) as the predomin...
متن کاملAcute cadmium toxicity studies upon nine species of aquatic insects.
Continuous-flow bioassays were employed to determine 96.hour median tolerance limits (TLm), for the stonefly. Pteronnrcrllu hadia (Hagen) (TLm was 18.0 mg Cd/l) and the mayfly, Ephemerella grundis grarzdis Eaton (TLm was 28.0 mg Cd/l). Ninety-six hours TLm values for other species of aquatic insects tested were not determined, since these species were relatively insensitive to cadmium. Insects ...
