Preference for outbred host plants and positive effects of inbreeding on egg survival in a specialist herbivore.
Inbreeding can profoundly affect the interactions of plants with herbivores as well as with the natural enemies of the herbivores. We studied how plant inbreeding affects herbivore oviposition preference, and whether inbreeding of both plants and herbivores alters the probability of predation or parasitism of herbivore eggs. In a laboratory preference test with the specialist herbivore moth Abr...
متن کاملpopulation variation of a specialist versus a generalist aphid sharing the same host plant in field
aphids in unsprayed canola (brassica napus linnaeus) fields in isfahan province (central iran) were sampled for two growing seasons, 2011-2013. sampling unit was a whole plant and 20 plants were sampled weekly. in the laboratory, heat-extracting and sub-sampling techniques were used to estimate the density of aphids. to determine the relationship between population growth rate of the aphids and...
متن کاملDevelopment and survival of a specialist herbivore, Melitaea cinxia, on host plants producing high and low concentrations of iridoid glycosides
The Glanville fritillary butterfly (Melitaea cinxia) in Finland feeds on the plants Plantago lanceolata and Veronica spicata. These two plant species are distributed heterogeneously and both vary spatially and temporally in iridoid glycoside concentrations. We investigated the associations of plant species and iridoid glycoside (aucubin and catalpol) concentrations with weight, development rate...
متن کاملDemographic models reveal the shape of density dependence for a specialist insect herbivore on variable host plants.
1. It is widely accepted that density-dependent processes play an important role in most natural populations. However, persistent challenges in our understanding of density-dependent population dynamics include evaluating the shape of the relationship between density and demographic rates (linear, concave, convex), and identifying extrinsic factors that can mediate this relationship. 2. I studi...
متن کاملPollination of two species of Ferocactus : interactions between cactus-specialist bees and their host plants
1. Resolving the controversy over the prevalence of generalization in plant–pollinator interactions requires field studies characterizing the pollination effectiveness of all a plant’s floral visitors. Herein, the pollination effectiveness of all visitors to two species of barrel cactus ( Ferocactus ) was quantified. 2. Flowers of both species were pollinated almost exclusively by cactus-specia...
