TACHINIDAE: evolution, behavior, and ecology.
Tachinidae are one of the most diverse and ecologically important families in the order Diptera. As parasitoids, they are important natural enemies in most terrestrial ecological communities, particularly as natural enemies of larval Lepidoptera. Despite their diversity and ecological impact, relatively little is known about the evolution and ecology of tachinids, and what is known tends to be ...
متن کاملCarnivore habitat ecology: integrating theory and application
Few terms in wildlife ecology and conservation biology enjoy jargon status more than the word " habitat. " The ubiquity of the word in popular, scientific, and administrative literature suggests a universal definition, yet the diversity of contexts in which it is used clearly indicates little consensus. This conceptual imprecision has strong, but generally unacknowledged, implications for under...
متن کاملThe ecology and evolution of social behavior in microbes.
Cooperation has been studied extensively across the tree of life, from eusociality in insects to social behavior in humans, but it is only recently that a social dimension has been recognized and extensively explored for microbes. Research into microbial cooperation has accelerated dramatically and microbes have become a favorite system because of their fast evolution, their convenience as lab ...
متن کاملThe Ecology, Behavior, and Evolution of Periodical Cicadas
Periodical cicada nymphs feed underground on root xylem fluids for precisely 13 or 17 years before emerging at any given locality synchronously and in tremendous numbers. Populations throughout the eastern United States are grouped into variously sized, geographically contiguous broods, which are reproductively isolated from each other. Six distinct species represent the 13and 17-year life cycl...
متن کاملBlind trust in unblinded observation in Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior
We surveyed 492 recent studies in the fields of ecology, evolution, and behavior (EEB) to evaluate potential for observer bias and the need for blind experimentation in each study. While 248 articles included experiments that could have been influenced by observer bias, only 13.3% of these articles indicated that experiments were blinded. The use of blind observation therefore was either grossl...
