Incorporating density dependence into the oviposition preference-offspring performance hypothesis.
1. Although theory predicts a positive relationship between oviposition preferences and the developmental performance of offspring, the strength of this relationship may depend not only on breeding site quality, but also on the complex interactions between environmental heterogeneity and density-dependent processes. Environmental heterogeneity may not only alter the strength of density dependen...
متن کاملAdult Phyllophaga Ephilida Host Plant Feeding Preference
Limited biological information about Phyllophaga ephilida , a major sweet potato pest in Louisiana, is available. In 2001 and 2002, a study was conducted in the laboratory to investigate the feeding preference of adult Phyllophaga ephilida (Say) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) for the foliage of eight woody plant species: water oak ( Quercus nigra L.), live oak ( Quercus virginiana Mill.), red maple...
متن کاملPrior host feeding experience influences ovipositional but not feeding preference in a polyphagous insect herbivore
Black vine weevils, Otiorhynchus sulcatus (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), are globally-distributed polyphagous pests of many horticultural crops. We investigated how adult weevils were affected by host switching and, in particular, how host plant species nutritional and defensive chemistry affected subsequent host plant species selection and oviposition. Adults were fed one of three ho...
متن کاملButterfly oviposition preference is not related to larval performance on a polyploid herb
The preference-performance hypothesis predicts that female insects maximize their fitness by utilizing host plants which are associated with high larval performance. Still, studies with several insect species have failed to find a positive correlation between oviposition preference and larval performance. In the present study, we experimentally investigated the relationship between oviposition ...
متن کاملFinalizing tentative matches from truncated preference lists
Consider the standard hospitals/residents problem, or the two-sided many-to-one stable matching problem, and assume that the true preference lists of both sides are complete (containing all members of the opposite side) and strict (having no ties). The lists actually submitted, however, are truncated. Let I be such a truncated instance. When we apply the resident-proposing deferred acceptance a...
