Testing the dear enemy relationship in fiddler crabs: Is there a difference between fighting conspecific and heterospecific opponents?
(2019-05-01)
Reduction of aggressiveness toward familiar neighbors, when compared to aggressiveness toward unfamiliar strangers, can decrease the costs of territory defense. This phenomenon is known as the “dear enemy effect”. Individuals ...
Evaluating the effects of pollinator-mediated interactions using pollen transfer networks: Evidence of widespread facilitation in south Andean plant communities
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-05)
Information about the relative importance of competitive or facilitative pollinator-mediated interactions in a multi-species context is limited. We studied interspecific pollen transfer (IPT) networks to evaluate quantity ...
Infestation of fruit by conspecific and heterospecific females deters oviposition in two Tephritidae fruit fly species
(Wiley, 2020-09)
Tephritidae fruit fly larvae develop entirely in the host chosen by the females. To improve the fitness of their progeny, females would benefit from rejecting previously exploited hosts. Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis ...
Keeping safe and fed: large heterospecific shorebird flocks to decrease intraspecific competition
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-01-01)
Shorebirds join cohesive flocks for safety. The joining of individuals of several species in large heterospecific flocks can optimise individual vigilance and foraging. However, a large number of conspecific individuals ...
Biological interactions at different spatial scales in the Monte desert of Argentina
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-02)
In this review, we compiled published results on biological interactions at different spatial scales in the Monte desert of Argentina and identified gaps in current knowledge. We presented evidence of competitive and ...
Oviposition Behavior in Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus (Diptera: Culicidae) in Response to thePresence of Heterospecific and Conspecific Larvae
(Entomological Society of America, 2015-12)
In mosquitoes, location of suitable sites foroviposition requires a set of visual, tactile, and olfactory cues that influencesfemales before laying their eggs. The ability of gravid females to distinguishamong potential ...
Infestation of fruit by conspecific and heterospecific females deters oviposition in two Tephritidae fruit fly species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-07-09)
Tephritidae fruit fly larvae develop entirely in the host chosen by the females. To improve the fitness of their progeny, females would benefit from rejecting previously exploited hosts. Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis ...
The cost of living in mixed species populations: A fiddler crab example
(2018-03-01)
Rising sea level is reducing the inter-tidal zone in many mangrove forests. This breaks down the normal species distribution patterns of fiddler crabs, with an increasing number of heterospecifics moving from adjacent zones ...
Crop size is more important than neighborhood fruit availability for fruit removal of Eugenia uniflora (Myrtaceae) by bird seed dispersers
(Springer, 2011-05)
For a plant with bird-dispersed seeds, the effectiveness of seed dispersal can change with fruit availability at scales ranging from individual plants to neighborhoods, and the scale at which frugivory patterns emerge may ...
Discrimination by Ganaspis pelleranoi of Ceratitis capitata larvae previously parasitised by Diachasmimorpha longicaudata
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)
Heterospecific and conspecific host discrimination, and super- and multiparasitism by the neotropical figitid Ganaspis pelleranoi were determined using 6-d-old Ceratitis capitata larvae in choice trials, where alternatives ...
