Physiological ecology of overwintering in hatchling turtles.
Temperate species of turtles hatch from eggs in late summer. The hatchlings of some species leave their natal nest to hibernate elsewhere on land or under water, whereas others usually remain inside the nest until spring; thus, post-hatching behavior strongly influences the hibernation ecology and physiology of this age class. Little is known about the habitats of and environmental conditions a...
متن کاملInsect overwintering in a changing climate.
Insects are highly successful animals inhabiting marine, freshwater and terrestrial habitats from the equator to the poles. As a group, insects have limited ability to regulate their body temperature and have thus required a range of strategies to support life in thermally stressful environments, including behavioural avoidance through migration and seasonal changes in cold tolerance. With resp...
متن کاملTropical Insect Chemical Ecology
In this chapter we describe the current state of tropical insect chemical ecology in Latin America with the aim of stimulating the use of this important tool for future generations of technicians and professionals workers in insect pest management. Sex pheromones of tropical insects that have been identified to date are mainly used for detection and population monitoring. Another strategy terme...
متن کاملThe Behavioral Ecology of Insect Vibrational Communication
W our reliance on vision and hearing and our weak vibration sense, humans have only recently developed ways to mine the information provided by the soundless vibration of the surfaces around us (box 1). Nevertheless, the information is there: geophones show ongoing tremors of the earth’s surface, stethoscopes bring the rhythm of our heart and lungs to a doctor’s ears, and laser vibrometers let ...
متن کاملThe Ecology and Evolution of Insect Baculoviruses
■ Abstract Baculoviruses occur widely among Lepidoptera, and in some species of forest and agricultural insects, they cause epizootics in outbreak populations. Here we review recent developments in baculovirus ecology and evolution, in particular focusing on emerging areas of interest and studies relating to field populations. The expanding application of molecular techniques has started to rev...
