Ixodid ticks associated with feral swine in Texas.
Ixodid ticks were collected from feral swine in eight Texas ecoregions from 2008-2011. Sixty-two percent of 806 feral swine were infested with one or more of the following species: Amblyomma americanum, A. cajennense, A. maculatum, Dermacentor albipictus, D. halli, D. variabilis, and Ixodes scapularis. Juvenile and adult feral swine of both sexes were found to serve as host to ixodid ticks. Lon...
متن کاملAcoustical mimicry in a predatory social parasite of ants.
Rapid, effective communication between colony members is a key attribute that enables ants to live in dominant, fiercely protected societies. Their signals, however, may be mimicked by other insects that coexist as commensals with ants or interact with them as mutualists or social parasites. We consider the role of acoustics in ant communication and its exploitation by social parasites. Social ...
متن کاملRainforest Canopy Ants : The Implications of Territoriality and Predatory Behavior
After first being ground-nesters and predators or scavengers, ants became arboreal with the rise of angiosperms and provided plants a biotic defense by foraging for prey on their foliage. Plants induce ants to patrol on their leaves through food rewards (e.g., extra-floral nectar and food bodies), while ants attend hemipterans for their honeydew. Most arboreal-nesting ants build their own nests...
متن کاملThe Feeding Rate of Predatory Mites on Life Stages of Bemisia tabaci Mediterranean Species
The sweetpotato whitefly Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) continues to be a serious threat to crops worldwide. The UK holds Protected Zone status against this pest and, as a result, B. tabaci entering on plant material is subjected to a policy of eradication. There has recently been a shift from Middle East-Asia Minor 1 to the more chemical resistant Mediterranean species ent...
متن کاملContext-dependent effects of marine protected areas on predatory interactions
We studied the effects of marine protected areas (MPAs) on predatory interactions at a regional scale of 3 different islands across the geographical gradient of the Canary Islands. Protection measures positively affected predatory fish assemblages, enhancing the intensity of predatory interactions in comparison to equivalent unprotected areas (UAs), and causing indirect effects on populations o...
