    Cuticular hydrocarbons of Gonipterus weevils: are there species differences?

    Gonipterus weevils have been a taxonomic challenge for many years, with implications on our understanding of invasive species, host plant relationships and natural enemies. We assessed cuticular hydrocarbon (CHC)...

    Changes in leaf chemistry and anatomy of Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata (Myrtaceae) in response to native and exotic pathogens

    Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata (CCV) is an economically and ecologically important timber species, native to eastern Australia. It is highly susceptible to Quambalaria pitereka, a coevolved endemic pathogen...

    Environmental influences on stem borer incidence in Australian subtropical Corymbia plantations

    Population dynamics of forest insect pests are a key determinant of forest health globally, but there is often insufficient information on tree susceptibility and environmental drivers of attack to construct p...

    Native Defoliators of Australian Mediterranean Forest Trees

    Eucalypts (Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora), as native stands and as plantations, dominate the two Mediterranean forest regions of Australia. These two geographically separated regions – south-western Australi...

    Invasive Insects in Mediterranean Forest Systems: Australia

    The Mediterranean forest regions of Australia predominantly comprise native mallee scrub, eucalypt woodlands, exotic Pinus plantations, and commercial eucalypt plantations. Native forests have, so far, remained l...

    Strangers in a strange land: do life history traits differ for alien and native colonisers of novel environments?

    Do alien invasive species exhibit life history characteristics that are similar to those of native species that have become pests in their continent of origin? We compared eucalypt specialists that have become...

    Corymbia phloem phenolics, tannins and terpenoids: interactions with a cerambycid borer

    Plant secondary chemistry mediates the ability of herbivores to locate, accept and survive on potential host plants. We examined the relationship between attack by the cerambycid beetle Phoracantha solida and the...

    Relatedness communicated in lemur scent

    Lemurs are the most olfactory-oriented of primates, yet there is still only a basic level of understanding of what their scent marks communicate. We analyzed scent secretions from Milne-Edwards' sifakas (Propithe...

    Sexually-transmitted disease in a sub-tropical eucalypt beetle: infection of the fittest?

    The ecology of sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs) is topical in scientific research, and their demography and epidemiology differ from those of classical pathogens and parasites. Transmission of STDs is gene...

    Sexual Selection Under Scramble Competition: Mate Location and Mate Choice in the Eucalypt Leaf Beetle Chrysophtharta agricola (Chapuis) in the Field

    For males of many species, the number of offspring sired can depend on the number of females mated. While pre- and postcopulatory choice by females can affect the outcome of potential mate encounters, mate loc...
