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.

Shepherds and plants in the Alps: multi-proxy archaeobotanical analysis of neolithic dung from “La Grande Rivoire” (Isère, France)
TL;DR: In this article, the analysis of phytoliths, pollen, charcoal and other macroremains was carried out in the neolithic shelter of “La Grande Rivoire”, Vercors massif (French Alps).
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative phylogeography across two trophic levels: the oak gall wasp Andricus kollari and its chalcid parasitoid Megastigmus stigmatizans.
TL;DR: The ability of Megastigmus stigmatizans, an oak gall wasp parasitoid, to track its host Andricus kollari over two different timescales is investigated, and its current population structure is examined across a divide in host population structure.

Shrinking by numbers: landscape context affects the species composition but not the quantitative structure of local food webs.
Riikka Kaartinen,Tomas Roslin +1 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the quantitative structure of food webs may be stable in the face of habitat fragmentation, despite clear-cut impacts on individual species, but this finding should be verified by empirical studies across both naturally and more recently fragmented systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The phylogenetic relationships between Dryocosmus, Chilaspis and allied genera of oak gallwasps (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae: Cynipini)
TL;DR: This paper examined the relationships between Chilaspis, Dryocosmus and other oak gallwasp genera using sequence data for two mitochondrial loci (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I and cytochrome b) and two nuclear loci.

Species Diversity in Space and Time
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a hierarchical dynamic puzzle to understand the relationship between habitat diversity and species diversity and the evolution of the relationships between habitats diversity and diversity in evolutionary time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predation, apparent competition and the structure of prey communities.
TL;DR: In order to study the consequences of predator-mediated apparent competition in isolation from other complicating factors, a model community is analyzed in which there is no direct interspecific competition among the prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Ecological Consequences of Shared Natural Enemies
and R D Holt,John H. Lawton +1 more
TL;DR: Apparent competition arises between focal and alternative prey populations because, in the long term, enemy abundance depends on total prey availability; by increasing enemy numbers, alternative prey intensify predation on focal prey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modes of Animal Speciation
TL;DR: Speciation is ultimately an adaptive process that involves establishment of intrin sic barriers to gene flow between closely related populations by development of reproductive isolating mechanisms.
