Geographic and genetic variation in feeding preference for chemically defended seaweeds.
Genetic variation in tolerance for seaweed chemical defenses among populations of marine herbivores is poorly described, either because few marine studies have addressed the issue or because the feeding preferences of populations of marine herbivores rarely differentiate. We address this using the polyphagous amphipod Ampithoe longimana (Crustacea), which commonly consumes, and lives on, terpen...
متن کاملGeographic variation in prey preference in bark beetle predators
1. Bark beetles and their predators are useful systems for addressing questions concerning diet breadth and prey preference in arthropod natural enemies. These predators use bark beetle pheromones to locate their prey, and the response to different pheromones is a measure of prey preference. 2. Trapping experiments were conducted to examine geographic variation in the response to prey pheromone...
متن کاملStanding genetic variation in host preference for mutualist microbial symbionts.
Many models of mutualisms show that mutualisms are unstable if hosts lack mechanisms enabling preferential associations with mutualistic symbiotic partners over exploitative partners. Despite the theoretical importance of mutualism-stabilizing mechanisms, we have little empirical evidence to infer their evolutionary dynamics in response to exploitation by non-beneficial partners. Using a model ...
متن کاملNew prostaglandins from the chemically defended soft coral Plexaura nina.
Three new prostaglandins were isolated as minor constituents of the organic extract from the Caribbean soft coral Plexaura nina. The structures of the new natural products were established by means of spectral data analysis, including 2D NMR experiments. The unpalatability of the lipid extract of the coral and the defensive role of the major prostaglandin metabolites were determined by laborato...
متن کاملPredator learning differences affect the survival of chemically defended prey
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.11.029 0003-3472/© 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd on beha Prey animals that possess chemical defences often advertise their unprofitability to predators by a distinctive and conspicuous visual appearance known as aposematism. However, not all chemically defended species are conspicuous, and some are nearly cryptic. Differences in predator community compo...
