In many semi-natural and natural ecosystems, mycorrhizal fungi are the most abundant and functionally important group of soil micro-organisms. They are almost wholly dependent on their host plants to supply them with photosynthate in return for which they enable the plant to access greater quantities of nutrients. Thus, there is considerable potential for plant communities to regulate the struc...

A method is presented to quantitatively score the degree of ovarian maturation in a predacious pentatomid with asynchronous follicle development. The effects of artiÞcial diet and mating status on ovarian maturation rates were examined. Ovarian scores were not inßuenced by mating status but were signiÞcantly lower in females fed the artiÞcial diet. Ovarian follicles start forming when females a...
