Impacts of alien invasive Parthenium hysterophorus on flower visitation by insects to co-flowering plantsArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 13 - Trang 719-734 - 2019
Fredrick Ojija, Sarah E. J. Arnold, Anna C. Treydte
The exotic invasive plant Parthenium hysterophorus is invading many tropical habitats. While much work has been done on its interactions with other native plants, little is known about its interaction with insect floral visitors and how it impacts pre-existing pollination networks when it invades a site. We carried out surveys on sites with and without P. hysterophorus (invaded and uninvaded, resp...... hiện toàn bộ
Long-term ant-species-dependent dynamics of a myrmecochorous plant communityArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 7 - Trang 277-286 - 2013
Elena V. Gorb, Alexander E. Filippov, Stanislav N. Gorb
Myrmecochory or seed dispersal by ants is a widely spread phenomenon, and myrmecochorous plants constitute a large portion of species in many ecosystems. Since the ant species complex in the ecosystem is continuously changing in time and space, the long-term effects of such ant–plant interactions on the plant community remained unclear. The manifold information obtained in numerous previous studie...... hiện toàn bộ
Adaptation to new resources: interaction between introduced psyllids and native and exotic ants in Eucalyptus plantations in NW SpainArthropod-Plant Interactions - - 2024
Miguel Castro-Cardoso, Gema Trigos-Peral, Violette Chiara, Adolfo Cordero-Rivera, Iago Sanmartín-Villar
The multiple uses of eucalypt wood have driven massive plantations around the world. These plantations have been progressively invaded by Australian insects, some of which have become pests, threatening the plantation productivity, and modifying ecological networks of trophic interactions. In this study we addressed whether ants could recognize and exploit the food sources offered by the introduce...... hiện toàn bộ
Phenolic compounds induced by Bemisia tabaci and Trialeurodes vaporariorum in Nicotiana tabacum L. and their relationship with the salicylic acid signaling pathwayArthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 11 - Trang 659-667 - 2017
Xiao Zhang, Xia Sun, Haipeng Zhao, Ming Xue, Dong Wang
Changes in the levels of secondary compounds can trigger plant defenses. To identify phenolic compounds induced by Bemisia tabaci Middle East-Asia Minor 1 (MEAM1) in tobacco (Nicotiana tobacco L.), the content changes of 11 phenolic compounds in plants infested by B. tabaci MEAM1 or Trialeurodes vaporariorum were compared. The chlorogenic acid, catechin, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, rutin, and f...... hiện toàn bộ
Pollinator effectiveness and fruit set in common ivy, Hedera helix (Araliaceae)Arthropod-Plant Interactions - Tập 4 - Trang 19-28 - 2009
Jennifer H. Jacobs, Suzanne J. Clark, Ian Denholm, Dave Goulson, Chris Stoate, Juliet L. Osborne
Flowers of common ivy (Hedera helix L.) provide late season pollen and nectar for several insect groups, and its fruits are a winter and spring food source for frugivorous birds. Ivy benefits from insect pollination in order to set fruit, but it is unknown which flower-visiting insects are the most effective pollinators. Our observations suggest that Vespula wasps are potentially the most effectiv...... hiện toàn bộ
