A facultative association between Plebeia droryana (Friese, 1900) (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Meliponini) and a wax scale insect, Ceroplastes janeirensis (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae).
Ants and bees (Hymenoptera) are frequently associated with scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea) and other Sternorrhyncha in a mutualistic relationship. Associations with ants are best known, and they tend to clean, protect and even transport these insects in exchange for honeydew (Way, 1963). Studies between coccoids and bees are less common, although in some regions of Europe the associations ...

متن کاملScale insect host ranges are broader in the tropics.
The specificity of the interactions between plants and their consumers varies considerably. The evolutionary and ecological factors underlying this variation are unclear. Several potential explanatory factors vary with latitude, for example plant species richness and the intensity of herbivory. Here, we use comparative phylogenetic methods to test the effect of latitude on host range in scale i...
متن کاملIdentification and evaluation of reference genes in the Chinese white wax scale insect Ericerus pela
BACKGROUND The Chinese white wax scale insect, Ericerus pela, is a well-known resource insect. The females and males are dramatically distinct at each developmental stage. We sought to identify suitable reference genes to use as internal controls in molecular research on E. plea. RESULTS geNorm, RefFinder and Normfinder analyses showed that ßTub-2 was the best reference gene throughout differ...
متن کاملMechanisms of plant–insect interaction
The study of plant–insect interactions continues to be an exciting and fast-moving field that builds upon the more extensive literature available in plant–microbe interactions and offers new and significant insights into both the unique molecular determinants of plant–insect interactions and the wider ecological context. This special issue of the Journal of Experimental Botany brings together a...
