Journal ArticleDOI
Predator and prey views of spider camouflage
Marc Théry,Jérôme Casas +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that when female crab-spiders mimic different flower species, they are simultaneously cryptic in the colour-vision systems of both bird predators and hymenopteran prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant green-island phenotype induced by leaf-miners is mediated by bacterial symbionts
TL;DR: It is shown that the phytophagous leaf-mining moth Phyllonorycter blancardella (Lepidoptera) relies on bacterial endosymbionts, most likely Wolbachia, to manipulate the physiology of its host plant resulting in the ‘green-island’ phenotype—photosynthetically active green patches in otherwise senescent leaves—and to increase its fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mothers reduce egg provisioning with age
David Giron,Jérôme Casas +1 more
TL;DR: A marked decrease in reproductive investment in eggs with mother’s age is shown for egg size, sugar, protein, lipid and energy contents of eggs for a parasitic wasp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical effects of plant quality and parasitism on population cycles of larch budmoth
Peter Turchin,Simon N. Wood,Stephen P. Ellner,Bruce E. Kendall,William W. Murdoch,Andreas Fischlin,Jérôme Casas,Edward McCauley,Cheryl J. Briggs +8 more
TL;DR: It is found that parasitoid-budmoth interaction is weak, contrary to previous studies, and a simple model of budmoth-parasitoid interaction accounts for 90% of the variance in budmoths population growth rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime nutrient dynamics reveal simultaneous capital and income breeding in a parasitoid
TL;DR: The aim is to develop a data-rich multidimensional dynamical budget of nutrient acquisition and allocation in survival and reproduction in the host-feeding, synovigenic bruchid ectoparasitoid Eupelmus vuilletti (Hymenoptera: E upelmidae) over the entire lifetime of the animal in order to address the above questions.
