Weed-biocontrol insects reduce native-plant recruitment through second-order apparent competition.
Small-mammal seed predation is an important force structuring native-plant communities that may also influence exotic-plant invasions. In the intermountain West, deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) are prominent predators of native-plant seeds, but they avoid consuming seeds of certain widespread invasives like spotted knapweed (Centaurea maculosa). These mice also consume the biological-control...
متن کاملPredation in two species of leech under laboratory conditions
Two 60 day experiments on predation behavior of leeches were conducted concurrently. In the first, medicinal leeches, Hirudo orientalis (Utevsky and Trontelj, 2005) were fed to satiation on bovine blood and subsequently transferred into two large opaque plastic containers of equal size but with differing temperatures, 6-7?C and 23-24?C, containing starved Erpobdella octoculata (L.). At the high...
متن کاملFire effects on composition, density and species diversity vegetation and soil seed bank (Case study: Kangavar rangelands)
Abstract Background and objectives: Fire as a frequent phenomenon in rangelands and because of its complicated and different effects on natural ecosystems, has great importance. Awareness of such fire effects on vegetation cover in point of rangeland management after fire is important and helps better Understanding and sustainable management of rangelands. Changing in plant structure and compo...
متن کاملInvestigating Effects of a Prescribed Spring Fire on Symbiosis between Mycorrhiza Fungi and Range Plant Species
Fire is one of the incorporate vegetation management practices for grasslands and semi-arid rangelands. It may affect symbiotic relationship between range plants and mycorrhiza. Accordingly, this research was aimed to investigate the effects of a spring prescribed fire on the symbiotic relationships between mycorrhiza and 6 plant species. The study was conducted in a semi-arid steppe rangeland ...
متن کاملForm and Development of Predation on Crickets in Adults of Peromyscus maniculatus bairdi and P. leucopus noveboracensis
Three experiments compared the similarities and differences in attacks on crickets by two species of laboratory-raised cricetid mice, Peromyscus maniculatus bairdi and P. leucopus noveboracensis. In Experiment 1 moderately prey-experienced 1.5-year-old mice of both species concentrated attacks on the crickets' dorsal head. P. leucopus also produced considerable damage to the thorax and showed a...
