Abstract:
... Combining thermopreference (Tₚ) and CO₂-gated heat-seeking assays, we studied the thermal preferendum and response to thermal cues in three Culex mosquito species exhibiting differences in native habitat and host preference (e.g., biting cold and/or warm-blooded animals). Results show that these species differ in both Tₚ and heat-seeking behavior. In particular, we found that Culex territans, whic ...

Specimen observation revealed the presence of the limpet on 33 species of Mollusca and two species of Crustacea, and it predominantly used Tegulidae and Muricidae throughout its geographic range. Some of the substrate molluscs had radula traces and home scars ...

Abstract:
... The question of whether food webs are resource or predation controlled is crucial for the development of sustainable IPM strategies in agriculture. Many IPM studies focus on top–down control, while little is known about bottom–up effects. Here, we unravelled the bottom–up interactions between rosy apple aphid (RAA) Dysaphis plantaginea and 13 apple cultivars in north-eastern Belgium. Population dy ...

These secondary metabolites also act as defensive molecules rendering crinoids unpalatable and repellent to other organisms. However, feather stars are usually associated with numerous symbiotic organisms, amongst which the ectocommensal snapping shrimp Synalpheus stimpsonii. W ...

Among the three main families of lipopeptides, surfactins have been identified as having insecticidal properties against several insect orders. However, the sublethal effects of these promising biopesticides on insect pests and their natural enemies remain l ...

Agonistic interactions between obligate avian brood parasites and their hosts can lead to the coevolution at any stage of the nesting cycle, yet adaptations and counter-adaptations at the fledgling stage are poorly known. Young of the host-specialist screaming cowbird (Molothrus rufoaxillaris) closely resemble those of its greyish baywing (Agelaioides badius) host in appearance and begging calls. ...

Known bacterial species commonly found in humans, pigs, chickens and ...
