Journal ArticleDOI
Gall-inducing insects – Nature's most sophisticated herbivores
TL;DR: D.J. Shorthouse, A. Raman, and D.D. Wool are among the artists whose work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City this year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interspecific competition among phloem-feeding insects mediated by induced host-plant sinks
TL;DR: This is the first demonstration of exploitation competition for plant assimilates between two insect—induced sinks, mediated by manipulation of plant phloem transport, stands in contrast to the absence of interference competition for galling sites between the two aphid species.
Journal ArticleDOI
GALLING APHIDS: Specialization, Biological Complexity, and Variation
TL;DR: In this article I review the specialized characteristics of galling aphids, as well as their complex and diverse life histories, as reported in the past 20 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do the Contents of Barn Owl Pellets Accurately Represent the Proportion of Prey Species in the Field
Yoram Yom-Tov,David Wool +1 more
TL;DR: Direct calculation and simulations indicate that more single- species pellets contained large mammals than would be expected from random sampling, which should be taken into consideration when accumulated pellets are used in ecological and paleontological studies to approximate the distribution of mammal prey in real communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolution of host plant manipulation by insects: molecular and ecological evidence from gall-forming aphids on Pistacia.
TL;DR: A cladogram, based on sequences of COI and COII of mitochondrial DNA for the evolution of 14 species of gall-forming aphids (Fordinae), suggests that the ancestral gall type was a simple, open, "pea"-sized gall located on the leaflet midvein.
