Evolution of condition-dependent dispersal: A genetic-algorithm search for the ESS reaction normResearches on Population Ecology - Tập 39 - Trang 127-137 - 1997
Hideo Ezoe, Yoh Iwasa
Many insects produce two types (winged and wingless) of offspring that greatly differ in dispersal ability. The ratio of the two types often depends on the quality of the local habitat and the crowding experienced by the mother. Here we studied the condition-dependent dispersal that is evolutionarily stable. The model is also applicable to annual plants that produce two types of seeds differing in...... hiện toàn bộ
Consequences of competition on the reproduction and mortality of three species of terrestrial slugsResearches on Population Ecology - Tập 25 - Trang 20-43 - 1983
C. David Rollo
The interaction of three species of terrestrial slugs was studied in six field cages containing monocultures and 2-way combinations.A. columbianus andA. ater were non-aggressive species andL. maximus was highly aggressive during the summer. All three species were similar in body design and resource utilization. Reproduction (egg size, eggs/batch, number of batches, wet-weight productivity) and mor...... hiện toàn bộ
Sex change and spatial distribution pattern in an intertidal holothurian Polycheira rufescens in the reproductive seasonResearches on Population Ecology - Tập 41 - Trang 235-242 - 1999
Seiji Arakaki, Kazunori Yamahira, Mutsunori Tokeshi
The patterns of sex change and spatial distribution in an intertidal holothurian, Polycheira rufescens (Chiridotidae; Echinodermata), were investigated on a stony beach in Amakusa, western Kyushu. Field caging experiments revealed that some individuals of P. rufescens underwent a sequential sex change from male to female via hermaphrodite stages and back to male again within a single reproductive...... hiện toàn bộ
On the abundance ofDermatophagoides pteronyssinus (Trouessart, 1897) (Pyroglyphidae: Acarina) in house dustResearches on Population Ecology - Tập 13 - Trang 67-79 - 1971
J. E. M. H. van Bronswijk, J. M. C. P. Schoonen, M. A. F. Berlie, F. S. Lukoschus
The dominance of the Pyroglyphidae in house dust has been influenced by a number of factors. The humidity in houses dropped recently to such an extent that only Pyroglyphidae can survive. When temperature and relative humidity are favorable forAcarus siro andGlycyphagus destructor as well asDermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides diminished in numbers by competition. Introduction of the p...... hiện toàn bộ
