invasive species,   etc   ; Drosophila suzukii; diet; ecological differentiation; evolution; females; fruit flies; oviposition; raspberries;     Show all 9 Subjects
Abstract:
... Among insects, female oviposition preferences are critical to understanding the evolutionary dynamics between herbivores and hosts. Previous studies have shown than in Drosophila, resource use has a strong genetic basis, although there is evidence that preferences are adaptable given isolation from ancestral hosts. Given the high degree of adaptability and behavioral plasticity of invasive species ...

Abstract:
... Prosopis juliflora is an invasive alien leguminous tree introduced as a way of combating desertification, deforestation, and improving soil fertility. Over time, the tree has reported significant negative externalities to farmers. Different strategies such as management through utilization and complete eradication have been proposed to reduce these externalities. We investigate the various factors ...

Abstract:
... The invasive alien seaweed Rugulopteryx okamurae (R.o.) has spread quickly through the Mediterranean Sea causing an unprecedented ecological impact. A solution integrated into a circular economy model is needed in order to curb the negative effects of its presence. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is proposed as a feasible process able to transform biomass into renewable energy. Nevertheless, in order to ...

The red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta, is an invasive prey of the eastern fence lizard, Sceloporus undulatus. Despite potentially lethal outcomes, juvenile fence lizards innately consume fire ants; however, they rapidly learn to avoi ...

Abstract:
... The deployment of cage traps rather than kill traps can greatly reduce non-target mortality in an invasive species control/eradication operation, but their use is normally constrained by the need for them to be checked frequently on animal welfare grounds. This paper examines the reliability of electronic monitoring devices that use cellular (mobile phone) networks to alert the operator when a tra ...

Abstract:
... Studies that question important conceptual and methodological aspects of the field of ecological niche modeling (and species distribution modeling) have cast doubts on whether it is possible to estimate the fundamental niche of a species using presence-only data. The main limitation in niche estimation is that presence data come from the realized niche, which is only a subset of the fundamental ni ...
