Journal ArticleDOI
Maximum foraging ranges in solitary bees: only few individuals have the capability to cover long foraging distances
TL;DR: This finding suggests that a close neighbourhood of nesting and foraging habitat within few hundred meters is crucial to maintain populations of these species, and that threshold distances at which half of the population discontinues foraging are a more meaningful parameter for conservation practice than the species specific maximum foraging distances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long foraging distances impose high costs on offspring production in solitary bees
TL;DR: The results of this study clearly indicate that a close neighbourhood of suitable nesting and foraging habitats is crucial for population persistence and thus conservation of endangered solitary bee species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elevated carbon dioxide impairs the performance of a specialized parasitoid of an aphid host feeding on Brassica plants
TL;DR: The results point to a conflict between bottom-up and top-down control under elevated CO 2, which seems to have enhanced plant direct defense by an increase of natural plant defense compounds, however, it led to a decrease in indirect defense, likely due to the reduced host size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acclimation to Elevated CO2 Increases Constitutive Glucosinolate Levels of Brassica Plants and Affects the Performance of Specialized Herbivores from Contrasting Feeding Guilds
TL;DR: The performance of two Brassica specialist herbivores from contrasting feeding guilds was significantly reduced under elevated CO2 suggesting that CO2-mediated increases in constitutive defense chemistry could benefit plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant acclimation to elevated CO2 affects important plant functional traits, and concomitantly reduces plant colonization rates by an herbivorous insect
TL;DR: Empirical evidence is provided that plants might acclimatize to a future increase in CO2, and that these acclimation responses might affect host plant choice and colonization behavior by herbivorous insects, which might be advantageous from the plant’s perspective.
