Tree phylogenetic diversity promotes host-parasitoid interactions.
Evidence from grassland experiments suggests that a plant community's phylogenetic diversity (PD) is a strong predictor of ecosystem processes, even stronger than species richness per se This has, however, never been extended to species-rich forests and host-parasitoid interactions. We used cavity-nesting Hymenoptera and their parasitoids collected in a subtropical forest as a model system to t...
متن کاملParasitoid and host nutritional physiology in behavioral ecology
Nutrient acquisition and allocation critically impacts the fitness of all organisms. However, distinguishing between competing hypotheses about metabolic strategies requires mechanistic details on the physiological requirements and constraints under which the organism exists. Parasitoids acquire nutrients during both their larval stage and as adults. In this chapter, we first explore difference...
متن کاملMultiple attractors in host-parasitoid interactions: coexistence and extinction.
This paper considers the dynamics of a two-dimensional discrete-time model for host-parasitoid interactions, and shows that the model has two attractors: the fixed point where two species coexist and a boundary cycle where the parasitoid is absent. The analysis with the Liapunov exponent confirms that this kind of bistability is common in this model. The generality of this phenomenon in host-pa...
متن کاملClimate variation alters the synchrony of host–parasitoid interactions
Observed changes in mean temperature and increased frequency of extreme climate events have already impacted the distributions and phenologies of various organisms, including insects. Although some research has examined how parasitoids will respond to colder temperatures or experimental warming, we know relatively little about how increased variation in temperature and humidity could affect int...
