Dicamba drift alters plant–herbivore interactions at the agro-ecological interface
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2022-11)
Natural populations evolve in response to biotic and abiotic changes in their environment, which shape species interactions and ecosystem dynamics. Agricultural systems can introduce novel conditions via herbicide exposure ...
Habitat quality influences pollinator pathogen prevalence through both habitat–disease and biodiversity–disease pathways
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-02)
The dilution effect hypothesis posits that increasing biodiversity reduces infectious disease transmission. Here, we propose that habitat quality might modulate this negative biodiversity–disease relationship. Habitat may ...
Phylogenetically under-dispersed gut microbiomes are not correlated with host genomic heterozygosity in a genetically diverse reptile community
(Springer Berlin HeidelbergWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-01)
While key elements of fitness in vertebrate animals are impacted by their microbiomes, the host genetic characteristics that factor into microbiome composition are not fully understood. Here, we correlate host genomic ...
Late Pleistocene landscape changes and habitat specialization as promoters of population genomic divergence in Amazonian floodplain birds
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Smithsonian Institution Press, 2023-01)
Although vicariant processes are expected to leave similar genomic signatures among codistributed taxa, ecological traits such as habitat and stratum can influence genetic divergence within species. Here, we combined ...
Discovery of rosin-based acylhydrazone derivatives as potential antifungal agents against rice Rhizoctonia solani for sustainable crop protection
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2023-02)
BACKGROUNDThe use of fungicides to protect crops from diseases is an effective method, and novel environmentally friendly plant-derived fungicides with enhanced performance and low toxicity are urgent requirements for ...
Unhealthy herds and the predator–spreader: Understanding when predation increases disease incidence and prevalence
(SpringerWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
Disease ecologists now recognize the limitation behind examining host–parasite interactions in isolation: community members—especially predators—dramatically affect host–parasite dynamics. Although the initial paradigm was ...
SPCIS: Standardized Plant Community with Introduced Status database
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2023-03)
The movement of plant species across the globe exposes native communities to new species introductions. While introductions are pervasive, two aspects of variability underlie patterns and processes of biological invasions ...
Seasonal plasticity in morphology and metabolism differs between migratory North American and resident Costa Rican monarch butterflies
(Princeton University PressWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-02)
Environmental heterogeneity in temperate latitudes is expected to maintain seasonally plastic life-history strategies that include the tuning of morphologies and metabolism that support overwintering. For species that have ...
Transgenerational plasticity in a zooplankton in response to elevated temperature and parasitism
(National Library of Medicine (USA), Center for Biotechnology InformationWiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-02)
Organisms are increasingly facing multiple stressors, which can simultaneously interact to cause unpredictable impacts compared with a single stressor alone. Recent evidence suggests that phenotypic plasticity can allow ...
