Aphid secondary symbionts do not affect prey attractiveness to two species of predatory lady beetles
Heritable symbionts have been found to mediate interactions between host species and their natural enemies in a variety of organisms. Aphids, their facultative symbionts, and their potential fitness effects have been particularly well-studied. For example, the aphid facultative symbiont Regiella can protect its host from infection from a fungal pathogen, and aphids with Hamiltonella are less li...
متن کاملSwimming performance in early development and the "other" consequences of egg size for ciliated planktonic larvae.
The evolutionary significance of egg size in marine invertebrates is commonly perceived in energetic terms. Embryonic size should also have direct effects upon the forces that govern swimming, a behavior common to early larval development in the plankton. If swimming is ecologically important, early larvae may need to perform to a certain "standard", or threshold of speed and/or stability. The ...
متن کاملSublethal pesticide doses negatively affect survival and the cellular responses in American foulbrood-infected honeybee larvae
Disclosing interactions between pesticides and bee infections is of most interest to understand challenges that pollinators are facing and to which extent bee health is compromised. Here, we address the individual and combined effect that three different pesticides (dimethoate, clothianidin and fluvalinate) and an American foulbrood (AFB) infection have on mortality and the cellular immune resp...
متن کاملPredatory cannibalism in Drosophila melanogaster larvae.
Hunting live prey is risky and thought to require specialized adaptations. Therefore, observations of predatory cannibalism in otherwise non-carnivorous animals raise questions about its function, adaptive significance and evolutionary potential. Here we document predatory cannibalism on larger conspecifics in Drosophila melanogaster larvae and address its evolutionary significance. We found th...
متن کاملTurning predator into prey - the problem of predatory journals.
recently, one of us (hr) submitted a paper for consideration to this journal. as per the normal editorial process of the JRCPE, the submission was run through iThenticate, the plagiarism detection software. This revealed no cause for concern. after peer review, the paper was accepted for publication, but during the copyediting and reference checking stage, a paper with the same title and author...
