Multiple host shifts between distantly related plants, Juglandaceae and Ericaceae, in the leaf-mining moth Acrocercops leucophaea complex (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae).
Insect herbivores such as gall formers and leaf miners are often highly specialized and adapted to their respective natal host plants. Due to the specialization and adaptation, it is presumed that host shifts readily occur among closely related plant species. Leaf-mining moths, the Acrocercops leucophaea complex, consist of three species, A. leucophaea, A. defigurata, and A. transecta. Larvae o...
متن کاملthe evaluation of language related engagment and task related engagment with the purpose of investigating the effect of metatalk and task typology
abstract while task-based instruction is considered as the most effective way to learn a language in the related literature, it is oversimplified on various grounds. different variables may affect how students are engaged with not only the language but also with the task itself. the present study was conducted to investigate language and task related engagement on the basis of the task typolog...
15 صفحه اولWolbachia in two insect host-parasitoid communities.
Wolbachia form a group of intracellular bacteria that alter reproduction in their arthropod hosts. Two major phylogenetic subdivisions (A and B) of Wolbachia occur. Using a polymerase chain reaction assay we surveyed for the A and B group Wolbachia in 82 insect species from two temperate host-parasitoid communities (food webs) and a general collection of Lepidoptera caught at a light trap. One ...
متن کاملHost-associated divergence in sympatric host races of the leaf beetle Lochmaea capreae: implications for local adaptation and reproductive isolation
Ecological specialization is widely recognized as a major determinant of the emergence and maintenance of biodiversity. We studied two critical facets of specialization – local adaptation and habitat choice – in the host races of the leaf beetle Lochmaea capreae on willow and birch. Our results revealed that there is asymmetric disruptive selection for host use traits, and host races achieved d...
متن کاملA host-parasitoid interaction with Allee effects on the host
We explore the addition of Allee effects to single-species discrete-time models with overcompensatory density dependence. When the intrinsic growth rate of the population, r , is large, the population bifurcates into chaos. The population goes extinct if r is either below a threshold level or very large. The model is then used to study host–parasitoid interactions with and without Allee effects...
