The evolution of omnivory in heteropteran insects
(2019-12-19)
Although omnivory is common and widespread across many animal taxa, the evolutionary origin of omnivory, the selective forces that promote or constrain omnivory, and the morphological, physiological, and behavioral hurdles ...
Host plants mediate omnivore-herbivore interactions and influence prey suppression
(2019-12-19)
We conducted laboratory and field experiments to determine the effects of plant quality and prey abundance on the intensity of interactions involving an omnivorous insect, its two herbivorous prey, and their shared host ...
The ecological consequences of variation in plants and prey for an omnivorous insect
(2019-12-19)
We conducted a series of laboratory and field experiments to determine the effects of variation in plant quality and prey species on the survival, dispersal, and population size of a common, omnivorous insect. We also ...
Evolution of the Auburn University fisheries program: genius in the Kingdom of Serendip
(2019-12-19)
This book is a history of the Auburn Universities Fisheries Program. It also focuses on two individuals, H. S. Swingle and E. V. Smith, faculty members in the A.P.I. College of Agriculture and the Alabama Agricultural ...
Effects of inbreeding in Mimulus guttatus on tolerance to herbivory in natural environments
(2019-12-19)
Inbreeding, which is common in plants, may increase the vulnerability of. populations to natural enemies. Similarly, natural enemies may increase the expression of inbreeding depression in their hosts, resulting in altered ...
Plant defense theory provides insight into interactions involving inbred plants and insect herbivores
(2019-12-19)
Inbreeding in the form of self-fertilization is widespread among plants and typically results in broad, detrimental changes in plant morphology and physiology. Phenotypic changes associated with inbreeding are likely to ...
Aphids alter the community-wide impact of fire ants
(2019-12-19)
Positive species interactions have the potential to strongly influence the structure and dynamics of ecological communities, yet surprisingly few studies have documented their general importance. We tested the hypothesis ...
Large effects of consumer offense on ecosystem structure and function
(2019-12-19)
Study of the role of within-species adaptation in ecological dynamics has focused largely on prey adaptations that reduce consumption risk (prey defense). Few, if any, studies have examined how consumer adaptations to ...
