Colonization pattern of Cecropia by Azteca ants: Influence of plant ontogeny, environment and host plant choice by queens
(California State University, 2008-01-01)
Several plant species of the large Neotropical genus Cecropia acts as a host plant for ants, especially those of the genus Azteca. Although literature has reported that the Azteca queens found colonies by perforating the ...
Using visual cues of microhabitat traits to find home: the case study of a bromeliad-living jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Oxford University Press, 2010-07-01)
There are many examples of predators having specialized microhabitat requirements, but the sensory mechanisms by which predators detect, identify, and evaluate microhabitats are only poorly understood. The ability to use ...
Fine-scale microhabitat selection in a bromeliad-dwelling jumping spider (Salticidae)
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2008-08-01)
Although a wide variety of arthropods specialize on a specific host plant, little is known about the evolution of host-plant specialization in spiders. In several regions of South America, the Neotropical jumping spider ...
Immunity in plants and animals: common ends through different means using similar tools
(Elsevier B.V., 2002-05-01)
A comparative approach is potentially useful for understanding the role of mammal innate immunity role in stimulating adaptive immunity as well as the relationship between these two types of immune strategies. Considerable ...
Geographic range, habitats, and host plants of bromeliad-living jumping spiders (Salticidae)
(Blackwell Publishing, 2006-07-01)
Although spiders are a very diverse group on vegetation, their associations with plants are poorly known. Some salticid species specifically use Bromeliaceae as host plants in some regions of South America. In this study, ...
Host specificity of a Brazilian isolate of Alternaria cassiae (Cenargen CG593) under greenhouse conditions
(Priel Publ, 2007-03-01)
Several Alternaria cassiae isolates were recovered from diseased sicklepod plants (Senna obtusifolia) in the southern regions of Brazil. A representative isolate (Cenargen CG593) was tested for its host range under greenhouse ...
Nicotiana tabacum as an experimental host for the study of plant-Xylella fastidiosa interactions
(2000-08-01)
Xylella fastidiosa causes citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). Information generated from the X. fastidiosa genome project is being used to study the underlying mechanisms responsible for pathogenicity. However, the lack of ...

(Iheringia. Série Zoologia, 2019)
Associations of spiders of the genus Peucetia (Oxyopidae) with plants bearing glandular hairs
(Blackwell Publishing, 2007-03-01)
Two common South American species of lynx spiders, Peucetia rubrolineata and P. flava (Oxyopidae), were surveyed on three localities in southeastern Brazil to determine plant choice. Both species were found to be associated ...
