Evolutionary consequences of dispersal ability in cactus - feeding insects 3 4
13 Although gene flow is an important determinant of evolutionary change, the role of ecological factors such 14 as specialization in determining migration and gene flow has rarely been explored empirically. To examine 15 the consequences of dispersal ability and habitat patchiness on gene flow, migration rates were compared in 16 three cactophagous Longhorn beetles using coalescent analyses of...
متن کاملControl of Insects and Mites on Ornamentals
DRESENT INTEREST in grow' ing ornamental plants has created a demand for information on the control of the insects, mites and other pests attacking them. Requests for this information come from home gardeners, florists, nurseries and contract applicators. Until recently very little attention was given the problem since there was no satisfactory way of estimating monetary losses of ornamentals d...
متن کاملMacroevolutionary trade-offs in plant-feeding insects
Most plant-feeding insects are ecological specialists restricted to one or a few closely related host-plant species. A long-standing hypothesis asserts that natural selection favors host specialization because of trade-offs between performance on alternative hosts, yet empirical evidence for such tradeoffs is scarce. Here we assess trade-offs between adaptations to alternative hosts over macroe...
متن کاملLignin degradation in wood-feeding insects.
The aromatic polymer lignin protects plants from most forms of microbial attack. Despite the fact that a significant fraction of all lignocellulose degraded passes through arthropod guts, the fate of lignin in these systems is not known. Using tetramethylammonium hydroxide thermochemolysis, we show lignin degradation by two insect species, the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) ...
متن کاملCantharidin: potent feeding deterrent to insects.
Cantharidin, the well-known terpenoid compound from the blood of blister beetles (and active principle of Spanish fly), is a feeding deterrent to insects, effective at a concentration of 10(-5) molar.
