Specialization and performance trade-offs across hosts in cactophilic Drosophila species
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2021-01)
1. We assessed the host-related niche breadth for D. koepferae and D. buzzatii, a pair of sibling cactophilic species with contrasting backgrounds of host use. We tested for the ‘Jack of all trades- Master of none’ scenario ...
Testing the trend towards specialization in herbivore-host plant associations using a molecular phylogeny of Tomoplagia (Diptera : Tephritidae)
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier ScienceSan DiegoEUA, 2005)
Host Plant Adaptation in Cactophilic Species of the Drosophila buzzatii Cluster: Fitness and Transcriptomics
(Oxford Univ Press Inc, 2018-08)
Host plant shifts in herbivorous insects often involve facing new environments that may speed up the evolution of oviposition behavior, performance-related traits, morphology, and, incidentally, reproductive isolation. In ...
The urochloa foliar blight and collar rot pathogen rhizoctonia solani AG-1 IA emerged in South America via a host shift from rice
(The American Phytopathological Society, 2015-10-22)
The fungus Rhizoctonia solani anastomosis group (AG)-1 IA emerged in the early 1990s as an important pathogen causing foliar blight and collar rot on pastures of the genus Urochloa (signalgrass) in South America. We tested ...
From cuckoos to chickens: a caught-in-the-act case of host shift in feather mites (Arachnida: Acari: Psoroptoididae)
(Springer, 2014-12-01)
Feather mites are highly specialized permanent ectosymbionts recorded from all recently recognized bird orders. These mites, specialized to live in the plumage of their hosts, rarely cause any visible damage to their ...
Resource defense polygyny shifts to female defense polygyny over the course of the reproductive season of a Neotropical harvestman
(SPRINGER, 2008)
Although studies classify the polygynous mating system of a given species into female defense polygyny (FDP) or resource defense polygyny (RDP), the boundary between these two categories is often slight. Males of some ...
Low -load pathogen spillover predicts shifts in skin microbiome and survival of a terrestrial-breeding amphibian
(Royal Soc, 2019-07-31)
Wildlife disease dynamics are strongly influenced by the structure of host communities and their symbiotic microbiota. Conspicuous amphibian declines associated with the waterborne fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis ...
