Lagged effects of sawfly leaf herbivory on reproductive organs in cherry trees: Overcompensation in flower production reduces quality of fruits and seeds
(Elsevier Gmbh, Urban & Fischer Verlag, 2020-03)
Herbivores reduce plant productivity by removing part of the assimilation surface. Also, they can alter plant traits that affect plant?pollinator interactions and reproductive success. The objective of this study was to ...

Interaction of semiochemicals with model lipid membranes: A biophysical approach
(Elsevier Science, 2018-01)
Unravelling the chemical language of insects has been the subject of intense research in the field of chemical ecology for the past five decades. Insect communication is mainly based on chemosensation due to the small body ...
Insects or Wind? New findings on the pollination system of Euterpe edulis (Arecaceae)
(Springer, 2021-04)
The palm Euterpe edulis is an important palm species for the extraction of palm heart, a highly profitable consumable product. Due to its importance, much research has been conducted around the ecology of this palm species. ...
Reproductive biology of the South American cycad Zamia boliviana, involving brood-site pollination
(2021-04-01)
Brood-site pollination mutualisms represent extreme levels of reciprocal specialization between plants and insects. Several studies have revealed intimate associations between cycads and their insect pollinators across ...
Effect of feeding frequencies on the reproductive efficiency for two species of Triatoma of different epidemiological importance
(Soc Brasileira Medicina Tropical, 2014-07)
Introduction: In Triatominae, reproductive efficiency is an important factor influencing population dynamics, and a useful parameter in measuring a species' epidemiological significance as a vector of Trypanosoma cruzi ...
Galler-induced reduction of shoot growth and fruit production in the shrub Colliguaja integerrima (Euphorbiaceae)
(2005)
We evaluated experimentally the effect of a gall-maker insect on vegetative and reproductive traits of the
shrub Colliguaja integerrima (Euphorbiaceae). We performed two experiments: (1) a chemical (insecticide)
exclusion ...
Behavior of the Amazonian damselfly Chalcopteryx scintillans McLachlan (Zygoptera: Polythoridae) and comments on its morphological distinction from C. rutilans (Rambur)
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014-10-02)
Polythorid damselflies are Neotropical stream dwellers, whose behavior has rarely been recorded. Here we describe the territorial and courtship behavior of Chalcopteryx scintillans McLachlan, an Amazonian damselfly with ...
