Biocontrol of Phyllosticta citricarpa by Bacillus spp.: biological and chemical aspects of the microbial interaction
Citrus fruits are the most produced fruits in the world, but they are threatened by several pathogens, including the fungus Phyllosticta citricarpa ,...

A whole ecosystem approach to pear psyllid (Cacopsylla pyri) management in a changing climate
Whole ecosystem-based approaches are becoming increasingly common in pest management within agricultural systems. These strategies consider all...

Adaptations of Pseudoxylaria towards a comb-associated lifestyle in fungus-farming termite colonies
Characterizing ancient clades of fungal symbionts is necessary for understanding the evolutionary process underlying symbiosis development. In this...

Comparative characterization of three Tetraselmis chui (Chlorophyta) strains as sources of nutraceuticals
Species of the genus Tetraselmis have traditionally been used as a valuable nutritional source in aquaculture for their high fatty acid content...

Limnobacter alexandrii sp. nov., a thiosulfate-oxidizing, heterotrophic and EPS-bearing Burkholderiaceae isolated from cultivable phycosphere microbiota of toxic Alexandrium catenella LZT09
A novel Gram-negative, aerobic, motile and short rod-shaped bacterium with exopolysaccharides production, designated as LZ-4 T , was isolated from...

Transcriptome of different fruiting stages in the cultivated mushroom Cyclocybe aegerita suggests a complex regulation of fruiting and reveals enzymes putatively involved in fungal oxylipin biosynthesis
BackgroundCyclocybe aegerita (syn. Agrocybe aegerita ) is a commercially cultivated mushroom. Its archetypal agaric morphology and its ability to...

Modelling Antifouling compounds of Macroalgal Holobionts in Current and Future pH Conditions
Marine macroalgae are important ecosystem engineers in marine coastal habitats. Macroalgae can be negatively impacted through excessive colonization...

Social influence on anti-predatory behaviors of juvenile bighead carp (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) are influenced by conspecific experience and shoal composition
At early life stages invasive fishes may have no innate or learned behavioral responses to native predators. However, social cues expressed by shoal...

Warming and predator drive functional responses of three subtropical cladocerans
Climate warming can change species performance and ecological interactions, which alter the energy flow in aquatic ecosystems. Here, we set...

Comparative volatilomics of coral endosymbionts from one- and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography approaches
Volatilomics, the examination of all biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) emitted by an organism or system, holds potential as a novel...

Biotransformation of [U-13C]linoleic acid suggests two independent ketonic- and aldehydic cycles within C8-oxylipin biosynthesis in Cyclocybe aegerita (V. Brig.) Vizzini
Although the typical aroma contributing compounds in fungi of the phylum Basidiomycota are known for decades, their biosynthetic pathways are still...

Catch me if you can: novel foraging behavior of an egg parasitoid, Gryon gonikopalense, against the stinkbug pest, Bagrada hilaris
Host detection and parasitism by egg parasitoids involve host chemical recognition, spatial overlap**, and the ability to overcome physical...
-
Habitat isolation and the cues of three remote predators differentially modulate prey colonization dynamics in pond landscapes
Recent evidence suggests predators may change colonization rates of prey in nearby predator-free patches as an example of context-dependent habitat...

Alien balsams, strawberries and their pollinators in a warmer world
BackgroundStrawberries are a common crop whose yield success depends on the availability of pollinators. Invasive alien plants, such as Impatiens...

Dimethyl sulfide mediates microbial predator–prey interactions between zooplankton and algae in the ocean
Phytoplankton are key components of the oceanic carbon and sulfur cycles
1 . During bloom events, some species can emit large amounts of the...

Volatile organic compound patterns predict fungal trophic mode and lifestyle
Fungi produce a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which play central roles in the initiation and regulation of fungal interactions....

What scares a mussel? Changes in valve movement pattern as an immediate response of a byssate bivalve to biotic factors
Responsiveness to biotic factors is crucial for the survival of sessile aquatic animals. They cannot escape from danger, but developed a number of...

External factors that regulate movement in the marine rotifer Brachionus plicatilis
There are two types of movement pattern in the Brachionidae (rotifers), swimming and attachment, although the factors that induce a shift between...

Deterrent effects of intact plants on host-searching behavior of parasitoid wasps
Female parasitoids distinguish between host-infested and intact plants using chemical cues; however, the contribution of intact plants to host...

Foraging Behaviour
In this chapter, we consider practical aspects of the foraging behaviour of insect natural enemies in its widest sense (so wide that we even include...
