- Abstract:
- ... Carrot fly larvae (Psila rosae (F.)) orient by olfaction to both CO₂, a primary plant metabolite, and cinnamic acid derivatives (e.g. methyl eugenol), which are secondary plant metabolites. Other examples of larval attraction by chemical food components in species that feed on either living or dead plant material can be categorised according to a number of parameters: the habitat in which the larv ...

A Canopy Trimming Experiment (CTE) was designed to decouple these two factors, and to investigate the separate abiotic and biotic consequences of hurricane-type damage and monitor recovery processes. As part of this experiment, effects on forest floor invertebrate communities were studied using litterbags. Cano ...

Bloodworms prey on invertebrates, and it is known that the venom glands produce compounds that can induce toxic effects in animals. Yet, none of these putative toxins has been characterized on a molecular basis. Here we present the transcriptomic profiles ...

- Abstract:
- ... Native forest replacement by plantations and invasions by exotic plant species are occurring worldwide. We conducted a meta-analysis of studies reporting the effects of these forest changes on litter decomposition in streams. Overall, forest change significantly inhibited litter decomposition rate by ca 18%. However, only the replacement of native forests by deciduous broadleaf or eucalyptus (Euca ...

- Abstract:
- ... Detritus is a central feature in marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems. Despite the ubiquity of detritus, ecologists have largely ignored its role in influencing food web structure. We used a meta‐analytic approach to ask three questions about how detritus affects food web structure in a wide variety of ecosystems. First, what is the effect strength of detritus on primary producers, detri ...

- Abstract:
- ... The food webs of forest streams are primarily based upon inputs of organic matter from adjacent terrestrial ecosystems. However, streams that run through open landscapes generally lack closed riparian canopies, and an increasing number of studies indicate that terrestrial organic matter may be an important resource in these systems as well. Combining key abiotically-controlled factors (stream disc ...

Though more diverse than all non‐ditrysian superfamilies put together (3719 vs 2604 species), the tineoids are not especially species‐rich among ditrysian superfamilies. Their phylogenetic position, however, makes tineoids potentially imp ...

The expansion of agriculture is particularly worrying in tropical regions of the world, where native forests are being replaced by crops at alarming rates, with severe consequences for biodiversity and ecosystems. However, there is little information about the potential effects of agriculture on the functioning of tropical streams, which is essential if we are to assess the condition and ecologica ...

- Abstract:
- ... The presence of key organisms is frequently associated with the delivery of specific ecosystem functions. Areas with such organisms are therefore often considered to have greater levels of these functions. While this assumption has been the backbone of coral reef ecosystem-based management approaches for decades, we currently have only a limited understanding of how fish presence equates to functi ...

- Abstract:
- ... Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is an important tropical crop which provides one-fifth of the world’s vegetable oil, yet its rapid expansion can negatively influence the soil ecosystem. Identifying suitable agronomic management such as crop residue application is important for the sustainable development of oil palm. We examined the effects of adding empty fruit bunches (EFB), a major oil palm residu ...

- Abstract:
- ... This study addresses how Diptera assemblages differ in four sympatric phytotelmata. The Eryngium species retain water in their axils forming a phytotelm and this situation leads to the speculation that dipteran assemblages may differ, mainly when the plants begin to grow and retain more water in their axils, and when becoming senescent. Diptera from Eryngium horridum , Eryngium stenophyllum , Eryn ...

- Abstract:
- ... To date, aquatic hyphomycetes have mainly been considered as a source of carbohydrates, mineral elements and proteins for detritivores in detritus-based headwater streams. Yet, consumers are highly dependent on other molecules, such as essential fatty acids, to complete their biological cycle. These molecules might be limiting in detritus-based ecosystems since they are primarily synthesized by au ...

Here we report field and laboratory observations of the semi-terrestrial South African isopod, Tylos capensis Krauss, feeding above ground on live green leaves of the bietou bush, Chrysanthemoides monilifera (L.) Norlindh. The factors involved in the origin of this unusual arboreal feeding behavi ...

Although several studies have uncovered the importance of engineering environments, few studies have evaluated the effect of pioneering plants as ecosystem engineers, especially in tropical environments. When dead, Cecropia leaves become architecturally complex, acquiring a tridimensional shape due to des ...

- Abstract:
- ... Invasive plants cause changes to native plant communities and nutrient cycling, and by doing so, may alter the amount and quality of habitat available for animals at multiple trophic levels, including arthropods. Arthropods are generally abundant, diverse, and contribute to energy flow and nutrient cycling and are, therefore, an important group to study as a way of determining the effects of chang ...

Combtoothed blennies, which are among the most numerous grazing fish of the Great Barrier Reef, have been shown to target the detrital component of the epilithic algal matrix (EAM). It has been suggested that ...

- Abstract:
- ... Very little is known about the arthropods associated with the wild ancestors of agricultural crops. Given that wild relatives of crop plants are subjected to human pressures of habitat loss and transgene flow, baseline levels of arthropod biodiversity and community composition are urgently needed to detect declines associated with anthropogenic disturbance. Here, we sampled arthropod abundance and ...

- ... Old-growth forests have become rare in North America but provide habitat for unique assemblages of species that often are rare in younger forests. Insects and related arthropods reach their highest diversity in old-growth forests because of their stable moderate temperature and relative humidity and the rich variety of resources represented by high plant species richness and structural complexity. ...
